A gentle reminder that Reform UK is not a democratic political party. It is a private company owned 53% by Nigel Farage & 33% by Richard Tice. It has no real members; it has no democratic policy-making processes. It is an unaccountable entity & play thing of two rich men. Via @FT

He kept the tube running while Susan Hall’s colleagues Boris Johnson and Shaun Bailey partied.
He froze fares, he fed children, he cleared up the mess Johnson left, he stood up to the government, he brought fresh air to outer London and he didn’t give in to the racists.

Unaccompanied children arriving in the UK are at high risk of PTSD, depression and anxiety, but often fall through the gaps of mental health provision.

Today's findings on My View Children's Therapy show significant #MentalHealth and wellbeing benefits for these children, including improvements in mood, hopes for the future, sleeping and eating habits, and ability to manage their emotions.

So I have been having a little look at the people who run some of the Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups.

It seems that many of them a run by Tory politicians.... who live in England....and support 20mph where they live....

Let's go on a journey (at a very safe speed).

No polite way of putting it.... these people are proper batshit crazy - beggars belief that they are informing Tory transport policy.

Third addition: 2024 is the biggest election year ever with 60 countries and more than 50% of the world’s population choosing their governments.

This will undoubtedly have effects on geopolitical stability not just through changing international relationships, but through a new batch of inexperienced leaders (plus the US election which is impactful worldwide).
