On Earth Day, celebrating a real victory: Warren Farm. Years of tireless campaigning. A community that refused to give up. Nature protected. Greed defeated. This is what people power looks like. 🌍

Five years ago, a right wing faction of the Ealing Labour Party saw their chance, and used local controversy over LTNs as a pretext to launch a successful coup against the reigning moderately soft left faction, installing a new administration on the promise of scrapping all the measures

“LTNs have led to considerable reductions in road traffic injuries inside their boundaries for all road users – from pedestrians and cyclists to drivers [while] concerns about nearby main roads becoming more dangerous aren’t supported by the evidence.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

If you ever ever go anywhere near Camden high street please take 4m out of your day to tell the council how much you like the pedestrianisation trial 🙏

If Labour figures think they need to win reform voters by going to the right. Then they're less concerned about being in power to make the country a more just and progressive country, they want power for power's sake And they should fuck right off

Hi @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk @transportforlondon.bsky.social Please sort this out URGENTLY. Myself, a father to an 11 year old, waits here a LOT on my way back from work. Drivers here trying to get to 40mph. @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social @hounslowcycling.bsky.social

You counted, you waited, and now...the #BigGardenBirdwatch results are officially in! 📣 But who has claimed the number one spot for 2025? For the full analysis, head here: brnw.ch/21wRR4d

"Driving over active travel" campaigns: "Don't make back streets safe for walking and cycling, concentrate on main roads, take out that LTN." Later... "Don't make main roads safer for walking and cycling, and send cyclists down back streets."

Well spoken @jim.londoncentric.media on @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk Great interview on this distressing and totally unnecessary poisoning of our urban rivers. youtu.be/r_qEjAdWpfg?...

Tonight, London joins the world in marking @wwf.org.uk’s Earth Hour, with City Hall among the many buildings switching off their lights between 8:30pm to 9:30pm. This moment unites us in our commitment to tackling climate change and protecting our environment for future generations. #EarthHour

"The government is pleased to confirm that we will be moving ahead with a new GCSE in natural history." BRILLIANT news! And not before time. Here's hoping there will be no long holdups before this finally comes into effect #Nature #education 🌿 questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

Lovely natural river on a glorious spring day - watch with sound up! @brentriverpark.bsky.social

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Keir Starmer told Zelenskyy after he hugged him on Downing Street: "As you heard from the cheers in the street outside, you have the full backing of the United Kingdom. That is the people of the UK coming out to demonstrate how much they support you the the people of Ukraine" 👏

JD Vance is loathsome

The entire town has come out to protest JD Vance and reports indicate he’s been either run out or forced to go into hiding. #3E #EndImpunity #StandWithUkraine

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such

America died tonight. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

Zelenskyy is a hero. Tr**p & V***e are Putin puppets. If Starmer insists on a state visit, at least have the courage to do it somewhere we can protest in large numbers.

Calls grow for US president's state visit to Britain to be cancelled.

Trump and Vance are reprehensible traitors to the Western World. Zelensky is the greatest Western leader and anti-fascist of our time. Europe must back Ukraine all the way. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Zelenskyy went into that nest of vipers and roasted them all. Good. They all exposed themselves, they demeaned themselves in a way that was undeniable. Perfect.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Lovely

Labour are making inequality in the UK even worse. And rather than reverse - they're now blaming vulnerable people instead. It's just another version of Reform. Join the alternative: join.greenparty.org.uk
