“From the same paper that brought us ‘52mph cyclists’”
Telegraph slammed for manipulating photos of “law-abiding people exercising” for column claiming “rogue speeding cyclists” endanger drivers… despite photographed riders averaging 14.6mph

France where their wages are 1.5 times ours rents about 1/3 and you can yravel 65 km by bus for ONE euro 🤣🤣 and energy price rises were capped at 4% when ours were increased 54% . That France. France where land value is taxed annually like coyncil tax on a house ? As it is in USA and Canada

Imagine if UK media gave as much airtime and outrage to the closures of libraries, youth clubs, community centres, playgrounds, swimming pools, fire stations - you know, society - as they do about the top 5% having to pay some more inheritance tax. #bbclaurak #trevorphillips

This #WorldCarFreeDay, let's spread the word - if you want to shrink your carbon footprint, switch a journey from car to public transport when you can!
See how much difference a #SmallSwitch can make in our blog: bettertransport.org.uk/blog/…

Govt rushing through legislation to restructure ailing water companies.
Won't let them go bankrupt and nationalise.
Cost will be borne by customers and taxpayers.
Rescued companies will be resold to private operators.
Rip-off practices will continue.

Raw sewage pouring onto the beach today in Cornwall 🤢
Yes, it had rained heavily for about an hour, but THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!
We need to #EndSewagePollution now.

Dale Vince, "I would welcome a wealth tax.. A rise in capital gains tax.. I've campaigned for both of these things because there are people in our country with more money, broader shoulders, and they pay less as a percent of income than ordinary workers do, that shouldn't be right"
Christian Fraser, "There's a suspicion that a rich people would flee the country if there's a wealth tax"
Dale Vince, "Very few rich people would leave.. And if they did, they're not the kind of people we want here"
"If they're not willing to pay their fair share to live in this country, they should leave"
Well said @DaleVince 👏

Another Saturday night out on the town for Lincoln Street Pastors, and it was great to share the shift not only with our Prayer Pastor team, but also with the @OPCCLincs Deputy Police & Crime Commissioner, Sara, who joined us for a taste of the beautiful wonderful reality

Allowing local authorities to choose how best to deliver bus services and giving them greater control of routes, fares and standards where needed, could help to sustain and protect bus services, creating a more reliable bus network for all.

In 2024 in Exeter, there are several ways you can choose to deny disabled people who can't drive the low cost, high freedom option to use active travel....

It is time we shifted away from unaffordable and outdated road schemes and focused on maintenance, rail freight, public transport and active travel improvements.

Dear @elonmusk,
Shouldn’t this have a community note attached?
60+ court cases were brought post 2020 election and all thrown out (many by Trump appointed judges)
His own AG, WH counsel and election security tsar said results fair
50 secretaries of state certified votes.
CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.
