The Tories think their war on traffic rules is a vote magnet. Here’s why they are wrong theguardian.com/environment/…

Thanks to the Welsh politicians who are supporting the 500,000 children who can't reliably detect speeds above 20mph, the 600,000 with concessionary travel passes, and the 300,000 households with no car. Thanks to Welsh drivers by delivering safer streets and mobility for all.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned - nothing compared to what’s happening now while the planet burns.

Given that scientists who study 100% renewable energy systems are unanimous that it can be done, why do we hear daily on twitter and everywhere else by those who don't study such systems that it can't be done?
Although 100s more exist, here are 89 papers by 37 groups & >210 authors finding 100% renewable grids feasible worldwide without fossils, nuclear, CCUSP, blue H2

Determined Ripon mother writes about cycling her children to Primary School on a busy, narrow, dangerous village road which @northyorksc has refused to make 20mph.
It’s just had a segregated cycle lane - but only for 2 days of roadworks.

Please share and share and share. And then share again.
The new migration bill passed by the UK Parliament violates the country’s international human rights and refugee law obligations.
High Commissioner for Human Rights @volker_turk and I share grave concerns in this respect.
Here is our joint statement👇🏻

I’ve joined @_wearepossible’s call to ban private jets by writing to my MP. Will you do the same? action.wearepossible.org/pag…
Corporate courts block climate action - they give fossil fuel companies the power to sue governments for taking action on the climate emergency. It’s time to drop them from our trade deals. #StopISDS #ClimateJustice act.globaljustice.org.uk/nod…

In an LTN how is my freedom of movement curtailed when I’m walking?
It isn’t.
Is my freedom of movement in an LTN curtailed when I’m on my bike, then?
It is not.
So my freedom of movement is only curtailed when I drive?
Not that either. I can still access every property. – at Byker, England

By staying in the secretive Energy Charter Treaty, the UK Government is choosing to protect polluters over the planet.
Sign the petition now and demand we leave the treaty before there’s no planet left to protect
What would the comparable figures be for @northyorksc?

Every Green vote makes a difference.
Tell Government to invest in cycling, not more motorways, to reach net zero. Let's rebalance our transport system so that people have safe and accessible sustainable transport options like cycling, walking, and public transport. action.cyclinguk.org/page/13…
Just back from London. Default 20mph throughout much of the City. Traffic significantly slower. It works. It’s accepted. It’s become normal. What’s the problem? @20sPlentyNYorks

I've pledged my support for Arnold Warneken to be elected Green Party MP for Selby and Ainsty in the by-election on 20th July – have you? Check it out crowdfunder.co.uk/p/green-se… crowdfunder.co.uk/p/green-se…
Can someone tell me that @GeorgeMonbiot is wrong? I hope so.
It's a new and deadly strategy for shutting down protest. Corporations have realised that any political opponent can be named on an injunction. Once you're named, you can become liable for its costs. So they can beggar you for disagreeing with them.

Good to hear @gilespcroft But it’s not a ‘blanket’ limit, it’s a default limit which is not the same thing. 20mph is now the norm for you, but where appropriate some roads are 30mph or more, and some may be 15mph or less.
