Why wouldn't you build your factory out of STRAW? 🌾

May be he is being rewarded for buying the Isle of Grain gas tanks for £1.5 billion ie betting his company on fossil fuels rather than investing in renewables or paying his shareholders a bit more?

The best way to clean up our politics, free it from actual and perceived influence by people with money - is to ban all donations. And fund our politics from public money.

Tech firms will have 48 hours to remove abusive images under new law The government is proposing that intimate image abuse should be treated more severely.

Tech firms will have 48 hours to remove abusive images under new UK law.

Errr ... May happen after consultation. Not unusual for govts to cave in to corporate lobbying/threats

Who will monitor compliance? All UK regulators required to promote growth of their sectors.

Brought to you by the people who would like to form the next uk government:

‘Pesticide cocktails’ polluting apples across Europe, study finds. Another good reason to plant an apple tree of your choice in your garden or neighbourhood. Pesticides aren’t needed - our last eating apple will be eaten today and the freezer is full of cooked apple. Bumper crop last year.

Access to the Lugg Flats over the River Lugg via a foot/cycle bridge would help and could improve appreciation of this SSSI. The Lugwardine A-road bridge is far too dangerous and has no pavement #likelugglive

I love living in an inviting multicultural colony rather than amongst only tax exiles.

I just do not understand why the Mayor of London refuses to do this. I’ve asked him many times.

TfL is a public body and public purpose should be rippled through it like a stick of rock.

Taking adverts for fossil products like cars on the TfL network only undermines his transport strategy. 🤷‍♀️

According to Wilder Humber, seagrass captures carbon up to 35 times faster than tropical rainforests!
As our seas warm due to climate change Mangroves may also be used to stabilise our coastal erosion and could be grown to reduce storm and flood damage.

Farage is like some kinda Deadbeat Dad - pints over poverty, never mind the kids, we need more beer.

Climate change: from top to bottom Human activities are changing the climate from the top of the atmosphere to the bottom of the ocean

Dale, Agree sounds fishy but If they won’t sell you the software can’t you get a software company to write a similar but better open software for us all eg automate my domestic power production plant’s battery storage to the weather forecasts and your companies needs?

Did calorie counting ever work? -digitising calorie input doesn’t work without eating less! IT can’t provide will power or changing your habits.
Yet it is disappointing that the public facing NHS IT doesn’t do what it says on the tin.
I have checked & am reporting this error to NHS Digital

Net zero isn’t “tanking the economy” it is the more extreme storms caused by climate change which are disrupting power lines, flooding transport links, damaging property and washing away our farms topsoil.

@bbc5live.bsky.social Doton climate change is tanking our economy not net zero.

I feel we need a ban on betting company adverts associated with sport like we had for cigarettes and banning the promotion of ‘free’ bets. Any plans to change the law?
Also is teaching the harm that gambling can do, how to calculate chance and odds included in the national curriculum? Betting tax⬆️?

YouTube video by Climate Majority Project The Hardest Lesson | Climate Courage Schools | Launch Event

The "Hardest Lesson" teachers have to teach right now is the climate crisis. Does the national curriculum succeed?
"The Hardest Lesson" is a brief film showing how to start the conversation & build #ClimateCourage to help them cope with it and reduce #ClimateAnxiety

Can we listen to
this public talk online please?

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/target-area/... We appear to have complete blockages at Wigmore and Clehonger but infact it is good to see the Wye and Lugg flood plains are doing their job. At least the chicken poo and sewerage will be well diluted for a few weeks :-(

As we rapidly head back towards a three party government I wonder if @alanburnham.bsky.social would become Prime Minister faster if he joined the Greens and won his local by-election?

Good to see quality social houses and a few communal trees and sedum planted on flat roofs but how about clematis and onions in pots on south facing balconies to provide summer shade - drip watered from the convenient downpipes?

When did you last see a green housing development?
When did the planners last plant a hedge between gardens, a copse of willows around the drainage pond or put climbers spilling off balconies & rooftops?
Not since the 18th century eg Bournville with a fruit tree for owners to nurture.
Law or regs?

Conditions in Gaza worsen as winds and hypothermia kill 5 https://aje.news/23euro

Too many people in #Gaza are still barely surviving.

Displaced families are exhausted, hungry, cold.

Humanitarian needs in Gaza continue to grow.

Humanitarian aid is available outside but is blocked.

UNRWA and other aid organisations are ready to scale up.

Restrictions on aid must be lifted.

Would be great to see this discussed at Davos - far more important for world peace than what Trump, Putin and other invaders have on their agendas.

@elliechowns.bsky.social have you heard anything more from the minister or the Environment Agency on your water protection zone. Can I help in any way?
