Q3 profits:
BP = £1.7 billion
Shell = £4.6 billion
£6.3 billion profits made from the destruction of the planet in THREE MONTHS.
Enough is enough. @10DowningStreet it’s time to #MakePollutersPay for the damage they have caused.

I can confirm that we plan to stick with a £2 cap on single bus fares for the whole of 2025.

The barbarity, horror & terror in this from the aftermath of an Israeli attack on a school in Gaza, filmed by brave, incredible Palestinian journalists working for @Channel4News.
Our silence is complicity in genocide

The targeting of maternity hospitals and the blockade that limits essential medical supplies, such as anaesthetics and maternity kits, from entering Gaza have turned pregnancy into a life-threatening condition for thousands of women

My @Channel4News report on Israel’s relentless pounding of northern Gaza. It took a remarkably brave and persistent cameraman to get these pictures out to us. The world cannot say that it didn’t see. Or know. channel4.com/news/israels-re…

Israeli NGOs warn international community it will be complicit if Israel forcibly transfers the population of Northern Gaza
Human rights NGOs based in Israel today called on the international community to take action now to prevent Israel from forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have remained in the Northern Gaza Strip outside of the area, including by denying entry of essential humanitarian aid and fuel. The Israeli ceasefire coalition, the groups Gisha, B’Tselem, PHR-I and Yesh Din, said that there are alarming signs that the Israeli military is beginning to quietly implement the Generals’ Plan, also referred to as the Eiland Plan, which calls for complete forcible transfer of the civilians of the northern Gaza Strip through tightening the siege on the area and starving the population.
The NGOs reiterated the warning that states have an obligation to prevent the crimes of starvation and forcible transfer, and that if the continuation of the “wait and see” approach will enable Israel to liquidate northern Gaza, they will be complicit. All states and relevant international institutions should act now and use all tools at their disposal - legal, diplomatic and economic - to prevent this.
Trauma upon trauma upon trauma. I have no adequate words.
Great to finally see a concrete commitment to £ for #SchoolStreets in GM. As Tom Ross says, demand is clearly there.
Important that it's used *quickly* to support the volunteer-led schemes that exist to make them viable & prioritise new schools that need these changes the most
School Streets involve limiting traffic during drop off and pick up times to create a pleasant child-friendly environment when the school gate is busiest.
Watch as @DameSarahStorey and Mayor @AndyBurnhamGM see first-hand the positive impact a School Street is having on pupils and parents of Seymour Park Community Primary School, Old Trafford.

Good to see @AndyBurnhamGM in this video appreciating that “there is more we can do here”. Properly enforced #SchoolStreets yes - and also much more action on #AirPollution at source, both from #Transport & #WoodBurning. No child should be tasting pollution.
GM mayor @AndyBurnhamGM & @DameSarahStorey have visited Seymour Park Primary School to see the impact a ‘School Street’ is having on pupils and parents.
The road directly outside 30 schools are closed at drop-off and pick-up times.
The plan is to deliver 100 by 2028.

On the eve of October 7, here is Naomi Klein’s profound and troubling long essay reflection on the ways in which commemorating grief can re-traumatise and entrench fear and hatred. Very much worth taking the time to read. It’s not about not remembering. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…
Excited to work with @PLANT_MCR to turn a little piece of Manchester green on Friday in our pop up urban garden. Come see us and enjoy the space!
Yesterday GM announced an update to its Clean Air Plan, effectively pushing back the date when it thinks it can meet compliance with the UK *legal* limits on NO2 (one of the most harmful pollutants) for another year.

Thanks MCC for pointing out how important it is to keep cycle lanes free from obstructions. And thanks Sam for all your hard work.
Here's the cycle lanes I use most often. Anything we can do about these obstructions?!
As a city that's the home of cycling, with @BritishCycling 🚴🏿♀️, it's important our cycle lanes are free of obstructions.
Sam, our Service Improvement Manager from our waste team, explains how we do this. 🚚
