Tonight, Labour MPs voted to scrap the two child limit – a move that puts us on course to drive the biggest reduction of child poverty in a single Parliament.

The Tories and Reform UK voted against it.

Don’t let anyone tell you voting Labour doesn’t make a difference 🌹

I'm absolutely devastated to learn that Nat Dye has passed away. He was an amazing campaigner for assisted dying. This coming Wednesday I'm going to a variety show he organised in London and I hope that even though he didn't quite make it, he was proud of that and everything else he had achieved.

Well done to @mumsforlungs.bsky.social and let's make sure we keep polluting air--so harmful to our health--up the political agenda!

Another central London street transformed with a filter and added gardens, preventing rat-running, noise, and danger. Chef’s kiss, London. Thank you, Camden Council, don't stop.

Off London's Tottenham Court Road, Bayley Street shows that cities change. Originally a signal controlled junction from a one-way street, contraflow cycling was added and then the junction filtered with a cycle track. Today the cycling is still there, but the area is now a little square.

Leaving NATO at a time like this would be absolutely nuts.
EXC: Zack Polanski tells us Britain should consider closing US military bases, leave Nato and denuclearise, as he begins to flesh out the Greens’ foreign policy.

Also spells out to @pippacrerar.bsky.social and me his red lines in any coalition talks to come.

The construction of Cycleway 13 along Clerkenwell Road has started in Camden - the plan is that this continues so that it connects up with C13 at Old Street.

[1/6] A reminder: Europe has cards to use against the US. Lots of them.

To cite some examples:

- Tighten screws on US digital giants (taxes, fines, even bans)
- Export taxes disrupting US supply chains eg pharma
- Exclude US firms from European procurement, inc defence

Latest blog is on how the full spectrum chaos of Trumpism is no excuse for deferring or rowing back on climate action. There are countless things governments and businesses can still do to cut emissions. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/45...
We're going to need some learned assertiveness
The Trump administration may be bent on undermining global climate action and engineering an oil boom, but governments and businesses still have it within their power to accelerate decarbonisation

This is great news & I encourage as many people as can do so to respond to this consultation. Current legislation around the use of mobility aids is incredibly confusing & leaves Disabled people in fear of breaking the law or of having their vital mobility aid confiscated 😱
We're delighted the Department for Transport has launched a public consultation into reviewing the law around powered mobility devices.

This has the potential to improve the independence, physical & mental health, employment & social options of Disabled individuals and their families across the UK.
Government seeks views to modernise laws on powered mobility devices
Have your say on how laws around powered mobility devices could reflect modern technology and improve safety by 31 March 2026.

Admittedly, one reason why I think that “constituency projections four years from an election” are a waste of time is…sorry, come on, no, the votes are not gonna split like that in a lot of these seats come election time, come off it.

This is very good. He even gets the language right that too many of our media outlets still fail on. People aren't randomly killed by "cars", but by people driving them. And people are men, women, children, not defined by whether they are "a pedestrian" or "a cyclist". 🙌🏻
