Humbled that the family of Shirley Howard spoke with me a week after their sister was killed by a driver while pushing a stroller in the street next to an unplowed sidewalk. There is so much more to her story than local news is putting out there, and so much more we could do to save lives. 🧵

BOOM!! We did it - this petition has just hit 100,000 signatures, meaning it will trigger a parliamentary debate!! NEXT STEPS: start contacting your MPs urging them to attend the debate (whenever it’s scheduled) & push the govt to change the law on donations! bsky.app/profile/guys...

Tree-planting at my school! This is my favourite picture of the moment and I want to quickly tell you all how this came about and why it was so great. Last year 2 kids asked the Head for some trees. She asked me, I asked Twitter. Twitter said @philsturgeon.bsky.social 1/3
