Place making and active mobility
How is that the joint top priority to worry about everyday is immigration? It’s not personal health, having a secure home to live in nor putting food on the table. Dare I suggest people’s concerns are predominantly led by the media (which is terrifying)

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

This is what happens if you support populists like Johnson & Farage. We just get poorer.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

Nick Clegg would also have known this.
Tobacco giants knew their products caused cancer.

Oil companies knew their products cause climate change.

Social media companies know their products facilitate abuse of minors

Seeing a pattern? It’s not a few bad actors it’s a feature of a system that rewards profit at any cost
Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Farage wants to DOGE the UK - put taxes up for worse services
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

This is also about community. The wealthiest in our neighbourhood are also the least likely to be engaged with their local community - eg least likely to send their children to local schools, least likely to volunteer, least likely to know their neighbours
@zackpolanski.bsky.social on taxing the rich: "This is about inequality. For decades now poor people have got poorer and rich people have got richer... the money [raised] is important but the real point is about tackling inequality.. we need to get those assets flowing around the economy"

I would hope working like this is illegal in the UK?
Your Thanksgiving gravy tastes better when you use union mushrooms. Let's give a huge thanks to workers like "Adan" who harvest mushrooms for Monterey Mushrooms under a UFW contract. On an average day, he picks 240-280 of the blue baskets you see in this vid. #WeFeedYou

It's that time of year when Americans set up quaint, walkable Christmas villages in their living rooms, dreaming of living in such a cozy place.

​Meanwhile, they'll show up to city council meetings to fiercely oppose any plan that would actually build that kind of car-lite community in real life.

To all mums and dads out there who park like this at a side street junction. Children walking can’t easily advocate for themselves when you park your car dangerously like this. Please empathise with children.

The really tricky bit - that @LambethCouncil strategy misses- is off street parking.
Each house with a pavement crossover effectively 'steals' the public kerbside space - shouldn't there be an annual rental charge for that? And shouldn't it be at least as much as a CPZ permit?
