Is the Silvertown tunnel a bridge to the future or a step backwards?
As the £2.2bn tunnel prepares to open, opinions are divided: will it reduce congestion, or is it a relic of transport planning that worsens pollution?

Been a full time carer for last four years. But on Sunday mother died a pain-free peaceful death at home,
dog on the bed, me holding her hand. Were done. Solidarity to all carers out there. It's tough, especially with support systems in freefall. Will share thoughts when emotions settle

Ban Driven Grouse Shooting!
It destroys ecosystems, is ridden with criminality, causes flooding, concentrates land with a tiny minority of bloodthirsty maniacs, and after all that, is a shit excuse for a sport anyway.

Genuine question. Can I be arsed with a Christmas tree this year? We have high ceilings. I usually go for a 7 footer. But it's expensive if it's one that keeps it's needles. Plus decorating, watering and then removing. Is it worth it?

We are going to court NEXT WEEK!
To challenge the national roads policy that the Tories approved hours before Parliament shut down.
Labour has decided to back the policy, so we need your help. We've raised over £27,000 but we still need another £8,000.

Avoid the road to climate breakdown!
We support local communities seeking better and more sustainable travel solutions. We also help people campaign against active travel and public transport cuts and oppose damaging road schemes

After two days cooped up from Storm Bert it was great to get out for a run along the cliffs to E. Runton and a stroll on the beach, back to Sheringham. No PBs to report. Just a great way to start the week

Good. Now, let's kill off for good this ruinously expensive and environmentally destructive zombie road scheme. Then we can move on to better ways of dealing with congestion, pollution and increasing transport needs.

This matters.
So let’s talk about #honeybees in the context of ‘Saving the Bees’.
Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to, and detrimental to, genuine bee saving.
