Exact date DWP will start checking bank accounts and who will be targeted The DWP is set to start checking people's bank accounts from April next year

Instead of taxing billionaires, the UK government will start spying on people on benefits.

Macron's undemocratic Prime Ministers nominations shit show paying out.

He could've work with the majority left coalition, but he decide to keep governing on behalf of the capitalist class, against the majority of citizens will.

Is London set to put the brakes on SUVs? The number of SUVs in London has increased tenfold in 20 years, prompting calls to curb their use.

SUVs are dangerous -and unnecessary in cities. Authorities should do something about it.

"Terrorism" used to mean causing terror, causing fear. The UK is banning an organization that tries to sabotage arm sales direclty involved in perpetrating the genocide in Palestine by tagging it as "terrorist". The population isn't afraid of said organization, there are no human targets.

Rules for London's pedicabs receives overwhelming support Transport for London says it will develop rules for pedicabs following its consultation.

It's interesting to see Parliament legislating *pedicab* regulations in a time when there are so many pressing issues to address. Is it because MPs get to _actually_ see these every day by Parliament Square or maybe because it reminds them of the 'Global South'? ๐Ÿค”

A global scale genocide could be Musk's plan for finding an uninhabited planet earth solely for his offspring and cronies.

In his dystopia, for sure, other humans would be kept alive as slaves.

The US government has turned into pure evil. It is as if they're trying to provoke both a civil war and a world war, so they can deliver a global scale genocide.

Tired of Zuckerberg et al.?

While shutting down your Meta accounts is likely not a convenient option, here's a guide on how to limit their ability to monetize your personal info.

Although, the real solution to avoid them from harvesting your private info should be strong privacy legislation.

In the 1660s, this French philosopher came up with an invention that solved the problem of urban transport forever.

It had nothing to do with Robo-taxis, flying cars, or Tesla Tunnels.

Again ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ. Its about the total amount of money, not the number of people paying/receiving.

Budgetary sustainability isnโ€™t about the number of taxpayers or beneficiariesโ€”itโ€™s about balancing total tax revenue against overall expenses.

The best bike plan starts with a good car plan.

Instead of grafting cycle lanes onto their streets in a patchwork approach, Dutch planners practice โ€œontvlechtenโ€โ€”structural disentangling of the bike and car networks by reducing automobile speed, volume, and access.

Road Rage Is Getting Worse. Hereโ€™s What To Do About It
YouTube video by Global Cycling Network Road Rage Is Getting Worse. Hereโ€™s What To Do About It

Road rage is real, and it's experienced not only by drivers, but also by cyclists and pedestrians. ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿšด๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿฆฏ

But the main reason is traffic, and it comes only from one group -the deadly one.

More cycle lanes ease traffic and make more people willing to leave their cars.

I will never get (probably future generations will think like me) why we keep growing and cutting Christmas trees ๐ŸŽ„ in the cusp of a climate emergency.

We could do differently and instead of seeing a dead tree decaying in a living room we could be sponsoring a living one out there ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒฒ
