🐫 Forget speed bumps.
📸 Forget speed camera's.
🚫 Forget road signs.
Car drivers fear nothing more than a scratch on their paint. And overestimate the size or their car (amongst other things).
Crucial knowledge if you want to lower speeds.

Drivers are more lawbreaking than cyclists. forbes.com/sites/carltonreid…
It's not cyclists who kill and severely injure 30,000 people a year in the UK, that would be DRIVERS. Focus first on the main killer.

Allowing this dead-company-walking to be bailed out again, instead of taking it into Special Administration and then permanent public ownership, would be a disgrace and a betrayal by the Andy Burnham government
Enough is enough.
Thank you @Feargal_Sharkey for standing up for a water system that delivers for us, not profiteers

An incredible speech.
The Jewish leader of Lambeth council denounces Labour’s weaponisation of antisemitism.
Conflating the evil of antisemitism with opposing Israel’s crimes has to stop

Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion.
We really are being taken for mugs.

Let me get this right - in the last week we’ve seen cars washed away in Chile,
Istanbul, Turkey and now São Paulo, Brazil.
And no media is joining the dots @bbcnews @itvnews @skynews @thetimes @bbc5live @lbc @DailyMail This isn’t even the new normal. It’s going to get much much worse.

Streeting: "I have seen first hand.. the impact of Russias aggression in terms of the childrens toys lying in the rubble of the flats that had been destroyed, bombed out shopping centres.."
Now do Gaza, Wes. And the difference, of course, is that you've helped Israel do it.

The ICJ made this ruling over 2 years ago.
However, unfortunately it’s only an advisory opinion from the principal judicial organ of the UN, and even though it carries significant international weight, is not a binding judgment.

BREAKING

Your regular reminder that public ownership is popular. People want energy bills they can afford, clean water, public transport that’s reliable, an NHS to be proud of, care that families & communities can rely on, a Royal Mail that actually delivers letters.
Andy Burnham, are you listening?
Right response from Zack. Labour are desperate to see the Greens follow their pathways of the past descending to infighting and recriminations. Our course is too important, amid continued genocide in Palestine, climate breakdown, war in Europe while Trump woos Putin on diesel!
We TRIPLED our vote share.
Second best byelection result in Green Party history.
On a date Labour chose to deliberately clash same week as our conference.
All with a brand new PM in previously a "safe" seat.
Best response to absolute nonsense today?

Please submit your small ideas for fixing Britain to the Small-Ideas.org website. It’s a new charitable initiative I’ve set up to try and make sure life’s potholes don’t get ignored. Working with two charities and a cross party panel to turn your ideas into policy then try and make it happen. Please share.

💧Privatised water companies have failed to look after our most precious resource - the water of life.
🥀 Andy Burnham’s public 'control' of water isn't enough.
🤝 It's time to bring water back into public 𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 - for people, not profit.

The headline reads “PRIVATISED WATER HAS FAILED: PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW”. A Telegraph & Argus headline below reads “Yorkshire officially declared in drought after dry summer”. The bottom of the graphic displays “JOIN.GREENPARTY.ORG.UK” in bright green text, with small print identifying Bradford District Green Party as the promoter.
