Not bad for a city that never sits still.

We’re delivering cleaner transport and more green spaces, with even more to come.

The more I watch this from Hannah Spencer, two things happen:
1. The more I like it and her.
2. The more it makes me want to get out and do what she says by volunteering.
... I'm surprisingly moved by 2, as I can physically feel it breaking through the armour of scepticism I've built around myself.

Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Lord Frost (🤮) and David Davies sold you lie after lie after lie.

The media wrapped it up, spun it and made it believable.

Our country was mugged off by them all.

Never forgive, never forget.

As events in America are now showing, democracies are only as strong as their weakest point. And right now, the weakest point in our own democracy is the continued rise of one Nigel Farage

The Express… and Farage… want Brexit to be even worse than this…

Even more cost. More losses. More red tape. More queues. More businesses failing. Less tax revenue. Less investment. Less protection. Fewer rights. Less security.

But more white.
Their racism ruins us.

Kemi Badenoch says she doesn’t want centrists in her party.

Instead of focusing on what people actually want, like an NHS that works, she’s choosing to imitate Farage.

If you’re sick of the name calling and just want things fixed, join the Liberal Democrats.

Do cities in the U.K. (or rather their municipal authorities/councils) have the legal powers & financial resources to bring in the policies needed?
“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Arguably more significant than defections, internal party politics and the Beckhams…

In 2024 there were around 3,600 suspected cases of measles.
