"Car manufacturers have spent decades pushing large expensive cars at the expense of smaller models. After 25 years of relentless growth, our streets are dominated by oversized SUVs that cities simply weren’t designed for." Anna Krajinska of @transportenvironment.org

The climate deniers are like the dog in the burning room cartoon, almost literally. I know the motivation (or suspect I do) for your top-level grifters like Farage, but surely, SURELY at some point Joe-Q-Reform-voter has to realise the game is up?

Here is some more interesting research from the Met Office where they modelled what would happen today if we has the same weather system that caused the heat wave in 1976. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger. Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city.

Unite General Secretary election, ballot papers going out 14th July. If you care about climate change kick out Sharon Graham!

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk’s politics, because he is desperate to brand himself an insurgent against the powerful elite, but as the world’s first trillionaire, he needs a definition of “elite” not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Well look at that. No coal and relatively little gas, and we have more than enough energy for the winter. Seems pretty good to me (NESO is now publicly owned btw) www.energylivenews.com/2026/06/23/w...

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

#ClimateAdaptation - I visit a lot of schools and so many of them, even those recently built, are extremely vulnerable to the #ClimateEmergency www.independent.co.uk/weather/heat...

Not sure if the mainstream media or oligarch social media is carrying this message strongly enough: persistent, frequent heatwaves are inline with climate change prediction models. It’s here, happening now www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Today we celebrate the Windrush generation and the immense contribution they have made to communities across Britain. Their story is one of courage, resilience and determination, and their legacy continues to shape our country for the better.

A fine antidote to all those writing on music and lamenting some imaginary utopian past. The future is not lost it just remains out of reach.

'The reintroduction of beavers in Paradise Fields, Ealing, has prevented flooding affecting northwest London residents’ homes, streets, and the local Tube station for the first time in years, with the area having experienced problems since the 1970s.' www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Did you see the sign today about hobbies?

"A trillionaire is not a sign of a healthy economy - it is a sign that extraordinary wealth and power are being concentrated in the hands of a tiny few while millions of people struggle to afford the basics." Britain says no to trillionaires as Musk becomes the world's first! 👉 bit.ly/4oouiMF

A health secretary that didn't understand health! Makes you wonder who else is pulling the levers of power, eh?

"valued at" isn't wealth. That applies to the voters with a house "valued at" 800k, when discussing a wealth tax, just as much as it does with Herr Musk.

Incredible - dramatic improvements in air quality in London are linked to a measurable impact on Londoners' health: 9.3% drop in heart-related emergency admissions 5.1% drop in hospital admissions of all illnesses and health conditions Cleaning up our air protects our future.

We’re planning a major DLR extension to Thamesmead, and we need your input. With new government backing, this proposed route could transform travel in an underserved area, unlocking thousands of new jobs and homes. Londoners: shape the final plans now. ⬇️

The latest donation figures are a reminder that British politics is ever more heavily reliant on a small number of super-rich donors. Capping donations would help ensure political influence is earned through public support, not purchased through private wealth.

The most powerful country in the world (supposedly), displaying its contempt for the grieving parents of a young man who is not American and did not die on their shores. But, of course, this isn't about Henry. His death is just an opportunity to push their white supremacist ideology. Utter scum.

"The US has nothing to teach the UK on policing. Deaths at the hands of police in the UK are extremely rare. In the US, around one person in 315,000 is shot dead by police each year. In the UK, the comparable figure is one in 25 million."

I see the richest, most powerful people in the world are once again trying to pretend they’re somehow on the side of the least privileged. Laughable.

Healthy communities and ecosystems rely on a healthy environment. But our environment is under attack: from climate change, biodiversity loss, habitat destruction, and war. The Green Party stands with communities everywhere taking on corporate polluters. For people and planet.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the shifting baseline concept as applied to everyday life. People in their 20’s now have no memory of highly functional systems, products (from blenders to sweaters) that were so well made you could hand them down across generations, or even helpful customer service.

England's first wholly cycle first street. Honestly, it's literally a couple of hundred yards and all it means is that a few local residents have to give priority to 1000s of cyclists using it daily. The best thing? It's sending the blowhards completely mad including in the national media!

The Southwark Green Party and Southwark Liberal Democrats have confirmed that they intend to form a joint administration to run the borough. The council's annual meeting take place tonight in Tooley Street.

Cuts to youth services, apprenticeships, and affordable public transport have left young people worse off, and now as adults they face a world of unaffordable rents, AI, climate change and a mental health crisis fuelled by austerity. More cuts is never the answer.

Out meeting the team at Lewisham’s street cleaning depot. Great to hear about all the hard work staff are putting in, and ideas for improving our fly-tipping situation

We’re seeing more and more heatwaves as predicted for years by climate change models. We urgently need to adapt now by providing much more tree cover in our towns & cities, as well as building modifications to promote cooling. Stay safe in the heat, everyone.

Yeah boi #rossgreer of the Scottish Greens is good #bbcqt

I'm absolutely delighted that Cabinet has agreed to pilot a locally-led filtered Quiet Lanes policy to improve rural active travel. It's innovative and I'm so proud of my role in it alongside others. Do share, AT policy enthusiasts (short thread) mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk/%28S%2803u25...

Taxing extreme wealth is necessary to reduce inequality and protect our democracies. But this kind of wealth is often hidden by complex structures and legal loopholes - making it more difficult for governments to tax.

In 1990, billionaire wealth was 2.5% of global GDP. Their wealth is now 14.1% of GDP. In the UK, it's now 22% of their GDP We absolutely have to get inequality under control. It's the extreme level of inequality that's causing so many of our problems. We need to tax wealth + transactions and do UBI

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

The bond market is being treated by the media as if it has a veto over any Labour move to the left. The media are, then, complicit in the whole conspiracy to make sure democracy cannot deliver what people want and need so that the wealthy might gain. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

With the really good news that @carolinerussell.bsky.social has been appointed Chair of the Transport Committee, I just wanted to share my thread on her Vision Zero event last year. It shows so much about how Caroline brings people together - from across the political spectrum, and from all .. 1/2

Matt Williams gets elected in Walker. 3 Greens in Byker, 3 Greens in Elswick. BBC Look North this morning. "The Greens won in some quite affluent parts of Newcastle." Can you take your heads out of your stereotypes please lads.
