I have no problem with this position *if* public transport to hospitals is free and staff are paid to walk/cycle. Otherwise you can do a running jump with your #motonormativity
We think both NHS staff and patients should be able to park for free in hospital car parks Please repost if you do too
The government should get on with making this possible, fast. It would finally deliver John Prescott's promised transport revolution.
Once upon a time, Leeds had trams, lots of them. They helped people get to work, come to the centre to shops and to meet each other for work and play. But then, catastrophically, for the city's long term future and prosperity in 1959....
Nationally the @LibDems are supporting the Climate and Nature bill. Dualling the A66 would massively increase carbon emissions and make achieving the targets in that bill much much harder.
Dualling the A66 between Penrith and Scotch Corner is vital for boosting the economy, reducing congestion, and saving lives. Really glad the Transport Minister has agreed to meet me and my constituency neighbour @RishiSunak to take this project forward. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

ICC Judges are screened through Minimum Voting Requirements, assessed by the Advisory Committee on Nomination, interviewed by civil society in Transparency Roundtables, and vetted by the Independent Oversight Mechanism SCOTUS Justices are hand-picked by the President. 🦘🤔
The ICC is a kangaroo court. The People's House passed a bill yesterday to call on all nations to join the US in combating antisemitism, building on legislation we passed earlier this year to sanction the ICC. The Senate must join us and pass these bills.
The shame is that the current Labour government do not appear to be as ambitious!
Revisiting John Prescott's "Transport 2010" White Paper from July 2000, the ambition is staggering by today's standards - not least the "up to" 25 light rail lines outside London and the rail freight growth targets. Sadly, it would all fall apart, but the vision was there.
As the COP29 climate meeting is reaching its end, it should not come as a surprise that yet another COP is failing. The current draft is a complete disaster. But even if our expectations are close to non-existent, we must never ever find ourselves reacting to these continuous…
At each mention of Hamas, the BBC informs us that it is "designated a terrorist organisation by the UK government". In the interests of balance, at what point will the BBC inform us at each mention of Netanyahu's name that he is "wanted on suspicion of committing crimes against…
it’s hilarious that one day a christian man was like “what if i made an understanding of gender roles entirely based on not knowing how umbrellas work”
Just been sent this. Think he won that one.
I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-) Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!
One third of children in the UK are living in poverty and we have had a day with the media obsessing about rich farmers who want to keep their millions tax free. Who is orchestrating this utterly bizarre news agenda, and why?
It is proven to: Reduce pollution Reduce deaths and injuries Reduce Drivers insurance premiums Makes places better places to live Is cheap to implement. Lets roll it out everywhere? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
What I'd like to hear from farmers and those supporting them is an alternative proposal. It seems few are willing to defend billionaires buying up farmland to avoid tax but want to protect smaller farms. What's the best way to do that? Seems more useful than a protest.
Had a glorious autumnal walk in Durham this weekend... Aykley Head, Aykley Woods, Hopper's Wood, the ancient path broken by the railway and down across the former Frankland brickworks. All with the napping wee one attached of course.
When Kemi Badenoch had the power to actually help British farmers as Trade Secretary, she instead chose to throw them under the bus when backing the Australia and New Zealand trade deals. Farmers need and deserve genuine allies.
Really @NewcastleCC - what is going on here? What happened to your climate emergency?
.@NewcastleCC are planning to spend ££997,693 to re-configure "Great Park park-and-ride site and adjacent bus turning circle to provide for the site to be used as a pick-up and drop-off facility for the planned high/middle school at Great Park." democracy.newcastle.gov.uk/mgIssueHistory…
Looking at Trump's proposed team it looks like the US will have the most incompetent government since they kicked out the British
If it can be proved that it's not genocide that would be a huge relief. It would mean that it's only a huge massacre, mass killing and widespread slaughter In which case it would be OK.
