Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

We need a government that cares. One that tackles real issues and makes sure every child gets the opportunities they deserve.
If the Government rolls back children’s rights and damages the SEND system, it will be yet another attack on the most vulnerable.

Musk accuses the LibDem leader of "cowardice" for opposing Musk's advocacy of pre-emptive violence (interethnic conflict, anti-migrant violence & partisan violence) to kick off a British civil war.
This shows that Musk just has no idea of the gravity of advocating political violence & civil war

Musk is inciting violence on London's streets.Tommy Robinson is financed by US tech bros. These are all very direct attempts to destabilise the British state.
Starmer needs to stand up to this. A government that doesn't defend its country's values against these blatant attacks is not doing its job.

“The proportion of people living in households receiving more in benefits than they paid in taxes decreased from 53.6% to 52.6%”
Cool. Job done 👍🏼
