Farage has dropped out of BBC film following BBC row.

Good.

Access journalism is client journalism. The BBC should make a film about Reform whether or not Farage chooses to ‘sit down’ with Laura Kuensberg.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

I have defended the BBC again and again.

No more.

14 years for red paint if you're an activist. Zero arrests for red paint when it's used to intimidate immigrants in our communities. Prof Richard Murphy re-examines the idea of two-tier policing.

The # of SUVs in England cities has increased from 3% to 30% of cars in the last 2 decades.

“In physical terms, London’s SUVs now take up the same space as the entire borough of Kensington & Chelsea, while the entire country’s SUVs would cover all of Manchester.” www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

I’m so grateful for the surge of support in every corner.

Thank you to my colleague @carolinerussell.bsky.social for the endorsement too!

But I’m by no means complacent. Votes close at the end of the month. Remind members to vote.

Let’s make this happen.

Here is the UK's national broadcaster today using dehumanising "small boat" language to describe human beings. This language is intentional, and has direct, extremely violent consequences.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

They’ll be planting a lot more.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY

Here is what 45 minutes of timelapse activity looks like on Vredenburg in Utrecht, which can only be used by people on public transport, walking or cycling. A vision of what many main roads in Central London could look like if our politicians were as ambitious as the Dutch

On and on it goes. First, it's not even accurate. Secondly, they're mimicking and helping create Trump's primitive dominant/submissive worldview. Third, please these people must stop watching Game of Thrones.

This is important — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays.

Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Imagine owning a mega-corporation with a 2:1 men to women ratio and being so terrified of powerful women that you blame your company's shortcomings on not having enough men around
