Rupert Murdoch's media empire has poisoned global democracy and spread disinformation on a mass scale.

It's time to break up monopolies and build a truly free media — one that exposes the truth, challenges the powerful and amplifies local voices building a better world.

@johnredwood Off you go then. You are part of the same govt in power for the last 13 years. Stop drivelling on twitter and get cracking!

[ralph @ralph2616]

@johnredwood Did they listen when they started down the SUV route. No! They marketed them at us, used vast resources to convince us that we need heavier more polluting vehicles.

They need and expect to be led by government on phasing out #ICE cars. Oh, wait.......

We're on a mission to let every young person in the UK experience an outdoor residential. That’s why we’re backing the Outdoor Education Bills in England, Scotland, and Wales.

"When did they [the government] announce that we were all going to have seven bins and that they were going to tax meat?"

@krishgm asks former Environment Secretary George Eustice if Rishi Sunak is claiming to cancel policies that have never existed.

[Simon Oldridge @SiOldridge]

As a keen mathematician, you’d think @RishiSunak would understand that it’s the path we take to Net Zero that matters: #AreaUnderCurve
Delaying key milestones really matters - even if we stick with 2050.

Good to run the session for the Scouts on Friday. Saw improvement during the session which shows the boys were listening and learning.

@annahamiltonart No. Surely people are now super organised for next year.

[Ribble Trust CEO @JackSpees]

A great #Farm facilitation group walk and meeting last night. Looking at flood plain re-connection we’re currently delivering in a SSSI. #Flood Risk and water quality benefits, lowland peat restoration (in an upland setting) plus improved habitat for Red shank.

I just don't get the #conspiracytheory around 15, 5 or even 1 minute cities.

Far from 'central' powers taking control, to me, it is giving citizens more freedom, freedom from cars and the ever increasing manic pace of life.

Stockholm’s 🇸🇪 1-Minute-City is about so much more than traffic calming.

It’s about nurturing social cohesion by putting human interactions back at the centre of communities and developing the full potential of streets👇👇

The most thoughtful and intelligent explanation I have ever heard on the merits of wealth creation.

[oodavid - that bench guy @oodavid]

Chillingham Road Primary school had a problem with pavement parking (and driving). Last year I installed 2 benches. They were well received. So I fundraised for more benches and planters. Now it's a safe space for everyone to use.

It’s 2023 and the roof is about to collapse onto schoolchildren.

[The Purple Pimpernel @Eyeswideopen69]

Note for the miserable Tory hypocrites gleefully celebrating the Birmingham bankruptcy:

Labour-run Birmingham City council:
Population: 1,144,900 people
£87 million gap in spending

Tory-run Thurrock City Council:
Population: 176,000 people
£469 million spending gap

Nuff said?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Big 4 bank profits were up 700% in first half of this year compared to 2020, so I’ve just asked the Chancellor to introduce a windfall tax on banks’ excess profits, to fund support for households struggling with energy & housing costs

@Hebrideanrefurb @DrCaveatLector I keep trying to say 2 collies are better than one to my family. I get looked at like I've lost some marbles.
