I know the North isn’t a priority for this govt but seriously…??? 🤷‍♀️

We want to help people in our region to make the right choices for the right journey. 🚌🚲

That’s why we’re making it easier to walk, cycle or use public transport – working towards a better-connected West Yorkshire.

Rishi Sunuk's U-turn on climate policies: I have never seen a more cynical and manipulative use of the phrase 'long-term'.

The Tories have now been in power for as long as New Labour.

How does their record over the last 13 years compare?

[Paul Simkins @paulsimkins]

@FirstWestYorks Just headed to station in ilkley based on the live app for bus to leeds at 2155. No show. Next bus = no show. A bus drives straight past me: Not in Service. Now waiting for last bus at 2315. Will it show up? Who knows? Stranded if not. Not good enough. Sort it out

Glad I’ve worked with peeps who give space + joy to open space of figuring out + then can flip it into more transactional formats like this, I have no idea how the imagination, dreaming, deliberation can happen for some work with this as a starting point of how everyone shows up.

This paper is about the role of the commercial sector in global health & health equity. The most basic public health question is not whether the world has the resources or will to act but whether humanity can survive if society fails to make this effort

We've launched our report - State of the CLT Sector 2023 - with @michaelgove and @danny__kruger. We need industry to partner with communities, and govt to deliver reforms to planning & housing finance, to make community ownership and agency commonplace.

If we are to transform the way we manage the water cycle as a common good, we must embrace a mission-oriented approach. On day 3 of the #UN2023WaterConference, read what @MazzucatoM & @jrockstrom wrote in the @guardian about the challenge. #WaterAction
