We should really really copy Paris.
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Plant a lot more urban trees.

Just needed to double check - and yes, Kemi Badenoch really did just say that we don’t need evidence - that anecdotes and personal feelings will do just fine instead. Scary times #bbclaurak

Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris #climate agreement is an act of environmental vandalism & shows what the fossil fuel industry can buy with their $75m donation to his campaign. But it’s important to remember leaders across US are already taking stronger climate action & the economic case is clear

It’s not just Musk - we need to stop British billionaires bankrolling our politics
Keir Starmer needs to introduce new laws to cap individual donations and bar corporate political funding before it’s too late, writes former Electoral Commission David Howarth.

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

I’m really concerned about the impact of the rise in employers’ NICs on GP surgeries – I’ve heard from several who say it will be devastating for patient care. Along with other @greenparty.org.uk MPs I’ve written to the Chancellor urging her to rethink the rise.

If you discover a hibernating bumblebee while digging in your garden or allotment this winter, try to avoid disturbing her, and loosely re-cover her so she can hit the snooze button until spring. More advice from @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social at www.bumblebeeconservation.org

👉Expand HIV testing
