You could have fooled me 🧐 www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

This is getting close to 150K signatures now. It might not do anything, but it will serve as evidence for the future that the UK government were aware of the opposition of its own people to its complicity in the Israeli genocide on Gaza & the fact that it did nothing to stop it.

Fascinating article : www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Love @newsagents.bsky.social - not sure about their choice of advertising partner in #hsbcglobalprivatebanking

Just wish #bbc would pull the plug on the Israeli spokeswoman who spouts propaganda and talks over #bbcradio4 ‘s Anna Foster

For over ten weeks, Israeli forces have blocked food, water and medicine from entering Gaza. With over two million facing famine and the Netanyahu Government planning to seize all of Gaza, will the PM back a joint plan to recognise Palestine and end this appalling blockade?

Can we have some of these in Edinburgh please ? #edinburgh @spokes.org.uk @blackfordsaferoutes.co.uk

Your periodic reminder net zero is a scientific term referring to the balance of anthropogenic emissions and carbon sinks required to stop temperatures spiralling out of control, bringing with them drastically increased risk of food insecurity, catastrophic weather, and civilisation-level disaster.

France wants to make one-off wealth tax permanent. It is based on taxable real estate assets worldwide, rates vary from 0% to 1.5%. Brought in €2bn for 2024. Hope Rachel Reeves is watching.

This from the man who lied to us all about Iraq - untrustworthy in so many ways

Gaza is “on brink of catastrophe” as aid runs out and prices soar. Within hours of the ceasefire ending in March, Israel blocked food, fuel, and medicine from entering Gaza. Aid warehouses are now empty. This is collective punishment by any other name. 2 million Palestinians are being starved.

A huge thank you to the team at @nhslothian.bsky.social eye pavilion for fantastic treatment today 😊

With its solar roof cycle path pilot, Freiburg demonstrates not only buildings but also transport infrastructure can be used to expand photovoltaic use. Combining the worlds of sustainable mobility and energy, it improves the comfort of the cycling network while generating power for nearby offices.

Completely unacceptable!

BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!

And for those at the back who missed it, the climate in Denmark is pretty similar to Northern England (I.e. climate, average temperature and rainfall are more favourable in Southern England). All it takes is political will and a realisation that cars are required far less than many think.

This is great Be sure to give @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social a follow www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvT3...

“That’s a better return on investment than some direct health treatments, like dialysis, which costs $129,000 for one quality-adjusted life year.” Imagine if we did a really good job connecting the dots between smarter ways to build cities & how much it costs us all. www.reuters.com/article/busi...
