Cartoon worm, man accuses women of being “anti-Car “…

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.

The Scottish Government took a big step forward in supporting BDS calls from Green MSPs, but now they must do the same for Councils ⚖️

'Hike holiday homes council tax to tackle homelessness crisis' say Greens Figures last week showed a record number of households living in temporary housing including 10,180 children.
