As Storm Darragh ravages the UK, keeping us prisoners awake by rattling our doors, cutting power to 55,000 homes, and placing 3 million lives at risk, I'm struck by the fact that this 1 storm is already more disruptive than all UK climate protest over the last 30 years combined.
Comedian gatecrashes water industry do in Brighton, stuns bosses
@TroyHawke with @38degrees @pplvprofiteers left industry leaders struggling to explain why England remains one of only two countries globally to run water purely for profit. A must-watch 👇

@maryorelse@Heidi_ldn@peterwalker99 I'm 55, disabled with long COVID and my e-bike is an excellent mobility aid. It flattens the hills, can effortlessly carry a lot of shopping, and I don't have the stress of finding somewhere to park a car.
Drax is the dirtiest energy company in the UK, but they're lobbying for even more subsidies.
@Ed_Miliband stop this tree burning scam and fund a worker-led transition instead.

My sister Sarah Cunningham has been missing since 0230am in Camden. Last seen leaving apartment building on Jamestown Road. She was wearing a black outfit. If you have any information please let me or the police know. she has been officially reported as missing.
@sharrond62 I've always lived in 15 min communities. They could be better though: better public transport, and better space for walking and cycling. This would provide a REAL choice of transport.
Below, people are mad about the price of a private taxi for their Chipotle. You’ll see similar responses whenever subsidies are removed
Examples:
- Free parking (it’s not free)
- Homeowner tax deduction (huge giveaway to the wealthy)
- Insurance charging market rates eg CA/FL
@LouHaigh Maybe all cars should have speed limiters on them, like my e-bike does. There will be fewer crashes: insurance costs will come down. As an added bonus, fewer people will be killed and injured on Britain's roads. It will save the state a fortune.
The market has failed to manage our water system, only democracy can turn it around.
