Number of children killed/seriously injured by eating/touching Hemlock in 3 years 2019/2021: Zero. Number of children killed/seriously injured by cars in 2019/2021: 1694. Perhaps focus on the cars and not the Hemlock.

Your periodic reminder that there's a special fare from most British stations to a destination called London International CIV (station code LNE) that you can use when connecting with Eurostar - but it can only be bought in person, not online, see seat61.com/european-travel-f…
Replying to @GRyall
As always, thanks to @seatsixtyone for his excellent advice on buying CIV tickets

An investigation by @OpenDemocracy reports that David Fleming, founder of the anti-traffic filters group Not Our Future—which leafleted thousands of houses in Oxford—previously ran a Covid denial group and a Formula 1 experience against which fraud accusations have been levelled.

Living within walking distance of shops is “dystopian” says @GBNEWS presenter, arguing that 15-minute cities are somehow unBritish.

Last year, if I had to guess what would be the batshit conspiracy theory of 2023, I would have NEVER guessed it would be ‘town planning where you can walk to the shops’

The climate emergency is real and scary. This might have made the heat of the past 2 days even harder to deal with and this is completely understandable. 🧵 Settle in for some tips that might make these feelings more manageable: (1/13)

'I have had enough of being told by shadowy old businessmen and lazy, ignorant hacks – who aren't real scientists – that the science is wrong.' Andrew Marr's furious response to those dismissing the climate crisis, as the UK faces a record-breaking heatwave. @AndrewMarr9

ALL the Tories who want to be PM skived off this important briefing about the climate. They only care about getting rich, not about important things which affect us and our children. None of them fit to be PM, or in government. #ClimateCrisis a.msn.com/01/en-gb/AAZsh9Y?o…

Today’s episode of “Don’t Look Up IRL” is brought to you (again) by ⁦@GMB⁩! GMB weather presenter gives a clear outline of the 40C temps + food shortages Brits can expect on our current trajectory, ⁦@susannareid100⁩ ignores it & returns to tired ‘hypocrisy’ argument.

Seeing the interview in its entirety is sickening, but at the same time the bullying & patronising nature of it is getting plenty of coverage for what is the most crucial time for our future existence on this planet. Only one person came out of this well & that’s Miranda Whelehan
Fantastic responses to some pretty shocking "interviewing" 👏 #DontLookUp #RichardMadeley @GaryLineker #JustStopOil

Only in the absurd parallel universe that Tory climate sceptics appear to inhabit could the answer to a crisis caused by high gas prices be to *increase* our reliance on gas by drilling for more of it - which is then sold on world markets #KeepItInTheGround @BBCNewsnight

By FAR the best, proven route to sustaining public support for rollout of renewables is Community Energy! But the government torched the entire policy framework that had enabled it pre-2015, leaving all further development of wind & solar to multinational energy corporations

“Children and cars are competitors.” - Lia Karsten Only by challenging the perceived right to drive and store an automobile in front of every building, do cities create opportunities for the ‘indoor generation’ to get outside and move, meet, and play.

Salmon is the most popular fish in Europe. But it's fed w/ fishoil from wild sardinella, which is disappearing off Senegalese children's plates. @SarahCuddon @ChristinacHicks and I explore impact of fishmeal factories on W Africa coast. Listen here 👇 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct2z…
