'Ella's Law' to be reintroduced by group of MPs after nine-year-old girl died from asthma attack linked to air pollution A cross-party group of MPs said they will reintroduce a bill in the name of a nine-year-old schoolgirl from South London who died from an asthma attack linked to air pollution.

It’s Clean Air Day in the UK!

To celebrate, Ella’s Law will be reintroduced by @sianberry.bsky.social on 1st July to demand the UK follows the WHO guidelines on air quality, not its own weaker targets.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Public Health England missed a post pandemic golden opportunity to educate re cross infection and reduce sick days taken off work - more importantly immune compromised people remain at risk from general attitude that it is ok to be out and about and spread infection.....

This Labour government has made a historic commitment to expanding community-owned energy, giving communities a tangible stake in our clean energy future and helping to build climate consensus at a local level.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history.

Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Proud to be a co-signatory on this amendment, which was in Labour’s manifesto - to make hate crimes against people due their sexual orientation, transgender identity, or a disability, an aggravated offence.

Fully support @racheltaylormp.bsky.social on this.

Each stick has to be placed just right in the nest. There isn't much known about the breeding of the Agami Heron, but that's going to be much easier now with this amazing new rookery discovered in northern Costa Rica.

We've watched the birds collecting material and working on their nests.
