Here's a 🎶 twist on @coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦

Umm, sorry @SteveReedMP but you haven't.
Allowing incompetent water companies to keep their licences is NOT cleaning up the "Tories' #sewage crisis", it's forcing us bill payers to pay twice over.
Put all failing water companies into #PublicOwnership now!

Proud of this brilliant team that have steered the Water (Special Measures) Bill through Parliament.
This government is cleaning up the Tory sewage crisis.

How do you say “we told you so” nicely, without screaming? Without upsetting the comfortable classes who told us we were wrong, or that we were over-dramatic, or scare-mongering, or plain mad? Who put some of the best people in the world in prison FOR BEING RIGHT? A thread 🧵1/12

The UK public overwhelmingly say US oligarch Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and trying to sabotage their country. The majority see him as a joke and opportunist.
"Musk is a deeply unpopular figure in the UK, with a net favourability rating of -35, lower than Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson."

Elon Musk - a multi-billionaire with an expansionist right-wing agenda, and no legitimate interest in our country - should be condemned in the strongest possible terms, by both State and Church, for his consistent attempts to destabilise our democracy.

Think rain gardens only thrive in spring and summer? 🌧❄️
Even in cold weather, rain gardens play a vital role. The Esther Road rain gardens in @WFCouncil cover 83m² and feature over 500 hardy plants that soak up stormwater, reduce flooding, and bring year-round greenery to the community.
Designed to be resilient through all seasons, these rain gardens continue to manage water runoff and support urban biodiversity, even when temperatures drop.
Our maintenance team visit the site to clean, clear, water and ensure the SuDS remain functional and effective.

It's too soon to say I despair of this Govt, but I'm starting to.
No climate adaptation in #Starmer list of targets despite the fact that the climate emergency has started and floods/droughts are becoming more frequent. Government refusing to make climate part of football regulators role despite obvious financial impacts @GreenJennyJones

Like everyone at @Hackney_Cycling, I'm exhausted from the fight over this junction. But because there will be other junctions, and other fights, it's important to piece together what it tells us about Hackney's approach to cycling; an approach that's consistent, but troubling 🧵
👀 REVEALED: new designs show how we are transforming the dangerous Pembury Circus junction and creating a new linear park along Amhurst Road in Hackney Central.💡
Hear from Cllr @SarahWoodberryD about how this is part of our plan for a greener, safer Hackney Central ⬇️
