The Clowncil allowed itself to be influenced by oilies rather than transport experts.
What could possibly have gone wrong?

🇭🇺 The redemocratisation in Hungary has begun - and the EU must draw lessons from the Orbán-era.
➡️ 5 points 🇪🇺
1. No more blackmailing
2. Arm democracy in Council
3. No democracy, no EU money
4. Break the law, face the ECJ
5. Charter must bind – Commission must act
In December the UK government signed a deal with Donald Trump to hike NHS drug prices - putting the NHS and thousands of lives at risk in order to inflate pharma profits.
MPs can now object to these changes - write to yours today and urge them to act!

It's never too late.

So as well as vile fascist saluting looney & Palantir ‘partner’ Musk, the grandson of notorious black shirt Fascist & Oliver Cromwell extremist far right Oswald Mosley is non other than Palantir UK’s CEO Louis (Mussolini) Mosley - it must be ‘Spring time for Palantir & fascists everywhere’ 😞👎
This is the company Labour has allowed into the NHS! Given all that Starmer is doing to cut civil liberties in the UK and his support for Israel’s treatment of its neighbours you have to wonder if he shares some of these people’s views….
The guy who first put his head above the parapet.
Spot-on by Patrick Harvie. Both governments lack the will to properly tackle climate change.
There is no lifeboat. We only have one planet that we can live on.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
A repair voucher scheme would keep money in our pockets and goods out of landfill.
Similar schemes have already proven successful across Europe. It's time to deliver that same success in Scotland.
Let's demand better.
Scottish Greens are committed to protecting and restoring our green spaces.
Let's demand better.
Vote Scottish Greens on May 7th.
A great pity that we don't have intelligent people like Transform Scotland organising transport in this country.
Instead we have a renamed but unreformed National Roads Directorate continuing to go the wrong way.
Parking is a huge problem and not because it's inadequate and costs too much: 'Abundant parking does not solve a transport problem; it creates one. Every space generates demand, spreads destinations further apart, and makes the alternatives - walking, cycling, and public transport - less viable".
It's not fair, is why! This is a game between two sides, an endless Test Match where you take turns batting or bowling and nobody gets frightened
Now these chaps in green shirts are running onto the pitch and saying "What if we scored a bunch of runs, what if we just tried for once?"
Hooligans!
And still the desperate cry of the Starmeroids…
But, but, but the Tories did this too!
Yeah, we know, that’s what makes it so much worse.
And it’s clear now that Starmer was trying his damndest to force this appointment through, even though Mandelson was thoroughly unsuitable, and he knew it.
When Keir Starmer met the former head of Al Qaeda, now president, in Syria, he "discussed opportunities for British businesses across several sectors".

97 public libraries in Scotland have permanently closed since 2008.
Libraries are an essential community service, providing far more than just books. We'll ensure councils have the financial backing they need so that no community is left without access to one.
Transparency in politics matters.
A £36,000 private healthcare-related donation was accepted by Peter Kyle from Faculty AI. As the debate over the NHS continues, these ties must remain under the spotlight.

No less than 21 months after the ICJ's call on states including the UK to help end Israel's unlawful occupation of the West Bank, the UK government still claims "we are carefully considering the Court’s advisory opinion".

Reform UK pledges review of asylum claims for the last 5 years if it wins the next general election.
400,000, including those legally settled could be deported.
Will people be plucked in streets, sent to concentration camps?
Farage inflicted Brexit, now importing Trump racism and terror.
Pubic trust in politics has collapsed... because people aren't stupid. We can see the system doesn't work for us.
It serves a tiny super-rich elite. Rebuilding that trust starts with taxing the super-rich fairly & kicking big money out of politics: taxjustice.uk/blog/how-to-...

FTSE 100 CEO average pay up 18% to £5.89m, less weight attached to environmental, social, governance targets.
Did your pay rise by 18%?
Workers produce wealth but get crumbs.
Need worker elected directors, worker vote on exec pay to secure equitable distribution.

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege.
What is it doing in the UK? Will any regulator even investigate?
Exec pay linked to profits. Every incentive to rig the market, fleece customers.
Far too many politicians assume that everyone drives everywhere.
They convince themselves that helping motorists helps the poor but, as the 66% figure shows, that is wide of the mark.
Car ownership isn’t universal in Scotland.
• 1 in 4 people have no access to a car
• 66% in low-income households
Yet parking policy often assumes universal car ownership.
Our new report explores what that means for fairness in our streets.
Parking shapes our streets more than most people realise.
Today we’ve launched Ahead of the Kerb: a new report on the hidden costs of parking, and how we can use parking policy better to create people-first cities

polanski is just holding starmer to the same standards starmer held sunak to. i can't understand why labour thought they'd get a different set of rules.
