@ByDonkeys Thank you - I’d seen this with the banner in place but not the very careful placing of it. Fantastic. Amazing that a drone captured it so well where drones are surely banned. x
We were pleased that free public transport was mentioned in an episode of the economics podcast Macrodose (@macrodosepod) as an idea gaining popularity across the world, and received a positive response from Green Party MP @carla_denyer. Listen here:
Every Green Party MP has signed the open letter in support of Free School Meals for All so that every primary school child has the essentials they need to thrive.
Will every MP in your party join them?

Sneaked out in a written answer on Thursday the freeze in housing allowance will mean many poor households will have less of their rent covered and must pay it out of already stretched incomes https://t.co/gG0R5ATjCS NB first reported here three days ago https://t.co/yN96JSNAJ5
We stand against the dangerous & impactful narrative of
Isabel Oakeshott's views on disabled people who claim benefits
"These people are,frankly,parasites"She said
The narrative is dangerous
Such language directly fuels, incites & instigates hate crime towards disabled people
Keir Starmer is missing the point of the £2 bus fare
It's about buses being SO cheap that people talk about it
Instead of increasing the cap, the government should copy countries across Europe 🇫🇷🇱🇺🇦🇹🇪🇪 and make buses cheaper or free

Ex Health Minister Alan Milburn to get lead role in Labour’s health ministry.
Previously unleashed privatisation. Adviser to private equity, and PwC.
Privatisation of NHS will accelerate. Money will buy less, 30%-40% will vanish in profits.

The UK, US & Israel were the last to end support for South Africa’s apartheid regime.
Conservatives wore 'Hang Mandela' badges, Thatcher denounced him & the ANC as terrorists & vetoed a UN resolution to impose sanctions.
History reminds us that it’s people power that prevails.
@DrJaybeee @navig3t0r Only if you haven't been paying attention to what's happening (or rely on msm). Look at who owns Associated British Ports, Thames Freeport and Southampton Port. Then look into (Dubai owned) DP World/P&O Ferries. https://t.co/IU9guut5VA
@premnsikka DP World (P&O Ferries parent co) role in freeports must be discussed. Do Londoners realise what will happen inside #LondonGateway#freeport?? Most probably not even aware of the boundaries. Freeports and SEZs: #Brexshitfiefdoms https://t.co/1LJJaHimiC
@katelamble Reading @piercepenniless great article in the current LRB I have only just realised you are no longer a BBC journalist.
Your Grenfell Inquiry podcast was a monumental and vital journalistic endeavour - once listened to, never forgotten.
What the BBC was founded for.
It’s time for Labour to remember its roots and reinstate the right to peaceful protest.
Thanks to @ChrisGPackham for the narration

Starmer's creating a £22 billion black hole today. It's called investment in carbon capture and storage. This is an unproven technology whose only purpose is to permit fossil fuel to still be burned. And he's fallen for it. Is that foolishness, stupidity or corruption in play?
Paramedics say there is a pattern: When they arrive to save wounded, Israel's airstrikes begin.
Rescuers started getting calls, ordering them to evacuate their headquarters.
Fear grows among Lebanese medical workers as Israel kills 50 in last 2 weeks.

This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 https://t.co/GCyad2C3N4
“Israel is now bombing central Beirut with white phosphorus, including the Al-Bashoura medical zone.”
“White phosphorus is a banned munition that causes fatal burns that reach down to the bone.”
“They [Israel] are criminals; they are terrorists.”
