Trump's massive bombers are arriving in Gloucestershire and will leave to kill people in iran

Image shows Sian Berry stood to the left of campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, and surrounded by a group of clean air campaigners. All of them are smiling and holding a copy of Ella's Law - the Clean Air (Human Rights Bill).

Image shows Rosamund Adoo-Kiss-Debrah sat next to Sian with a copy of Ella's Law on the table in front of them. They are both reading the Bill that is named in memory of Rosamund's daughter Ella who died aged nine due to exposure to air pollution.

Ella’s Law has been published 👏

No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this.

My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.

Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.

Old news!

That’s utterly grim to see.

What's the Mayor doing to reduce Romani, Roma and Irish Traveller inequalities? | Caroline Russell YouTube video by Caroline Russell

It’s encouraging that the Deputy Mayor is keen to meet with communities directly affected and to hear more about their recommendations. This is a positive step toward tackling these structural inequalities.
 
Watch my full exchange with the Deputy Mayor here👇

Huge gaps remain for Romani (Gypsy),Roma & Irish Travellers, only 37% are in work vs 74% of White British adults - women disproportionately affected.
 
I shared a new Traveller Movement & Women’s Budget Group report with the Deputy Mayor today, and it’s promising that he's agreed to meet with them.

Plumber wins by-election for Greens

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Greens are very clear that we support the Iranian people in their struggle against their authoritarian leadership AND we do not believe that peace and change are brought about through widespread bombing and harming people across the region.

Kemi Badenoch on Today just now.

“I want to stand by those parents who send their sons and daughters into war.”

Isn’t it the politicians that are doing the sending?

For all the people paid to give opinions on TV who keep wondering why the Greens are surging, here's your answer: have principles and stick to them.

Zack on Laura K

The Green Party has been consistent on our position.

We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.

And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

So much this.

It’s feeling so much more like the old place on here just recently - I’m even finding much more useful connection and sharing of info between campaigners that was so brilliant in the before times.

A chilly evening, under a full moon, on Clapham Common remembering Sarah Everard five years after her murder.

Absolute clarity about the urgent need for us all, and especially the police, to root out gender based harm affecting women, girls, non binary and trans people.

Rest in peace Sarah.

May she rest in peace. Still makes me weep.

Bad take.

Especially as this is one thing Labour is actually getting right. 🤷‍♀️

Rachel, Zack and Mothin

There's nothing the establishment is more scared of them a calm, kind, thoughtful gardener who happens to be a Muslim man in politics.

We'll stand together. Solidarity Mothin.

Are the Liberal Democrats on a recruitment drive today? For the Green Party?

👌 🎶

So much this. I remember in the 1970s people just driving less and sharing rides and my mum and dad even got bicycles!

As I was made to wait 2.5 minutes to cross a road this morning, let's again do the maths simple.ghost.io/lets-do-the-...

Haringey u-turning on bringing in bus lanes so returning £10m to TfL, and buses will still be blocked by tons of cars. 🤷‍♀️

What a contrast to Oxford St where we are finally seeing the radical reprioritisation of road space needed to meet a future vision for our city.

Lots of data. I’m in a meeting but:

Despite a demonisation campaign from the motoring lobby.

This comes after I tabled a motion warning that with RoadPeace gone, Londoners are being left without crucial services and calling on him to ensure survivors of crashes and bereaved families are not abandoned.

bsky.app/profile/lond...

RoadPeace, the charity supporting people affected by road crashes, is no longer operating.
I asked the Mayor how he will step in to make sure survivors and bereaved families can still get the peer to peer help they need, support that RoadPeace used to provide.

People riding e-scooters in a blue painted bike lane next to a couple of red buses.

TfL has published data today showing that since the launch of the e-scooter trial, "five million trips have been taken, totalling more than 10 million km - enough to travel around the world 250 times"

This is the mobility shift needed in cities to cut congestion and move people around.

(Not AVs!)

Extraordinary to see the Greens polling five points ahead of Labour and the Tories and closing in fast on Reform.

Clearly the Zack Polanski effect.

I thought there were already three progressive, inclusive and intersectional feminist Green Party women MPs - so this makes four?
