🏴 @llinosmedi.bsky.social has tabled an amendment to devolve the #CrownEstate to #Wales.
That would mean more money for services in Wales.
Will Labour support us? 👀

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Anyone who has read Michael Lewis's Fifth Risk will be familiar with the reason @NOAA is a critical public service, not just for the US, but in the global battle against climate change.
Trump's #Project2025 has a stated objective of closing it down,& that will be catastrophic.

I used to think the excesses happening in the US couldn't happen here. The 2016 US election and Brexit changed my mind.
Our parliamentary systems rely on trust and would not survive a Musk-like assault. Our MSM is even more compliant and ineffective. Don't think similar couldn't happen to us.

Well, Cummings has seemingly gone full batshit crazy
Like Trump, facts escape him. The Chagos deal was put together by the Tories before July 6th election but they did it of course to leave the poison chalice to Labour
The rest is just hom backing the latest politics to try and curry favour

1 YEAR OF 20MPH
There were around 100 fewer people killed / seriously injured on 20/30mph roads.
Casualties from July-Sept was the lowest Q3 figures in Wales since records began.
Over the year the number of casualties on 20/30mph roads is 28% lower than the year before.
Good policy making.
