Latest blog is on how the full spectrum chaos of Trumpism is no excuse for deferring or rowing back on climate action. There are countless things governments and businesses can still do to cut emissions. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/45...
We're going to need some learned assertiveness
The Trump administration may be bent on undermining global climate action and engineering an oil boom, but governments and businesses still have it within their power to accelerate decarbonisation

This is great news & I encourage as many people as can do so to respond to this consultation. Current legislation around the use of mobility aids is incredibly confusing & leaves Disabled people in fear of breaking the law or of having their vital mobility aid confiscated 😱
We're delighted the Department for Transport has launched a public consultation into reviewing the law around powered mobility devices.
This has the potential to improve the independence, physical & mental health, employment & social options of Disabled individuals and their families across the UK.

Have your say on how laws around powered mobility devices could reflect modern technology and improve safety by 31 March 2026.

This is very good. He even gets the language right that too many of our media outlets still fail on. People aren't randomly killed by "cars", but by people driving them. And people are men, women, children, not defined by whether they are "a pedestrian" or "a cyclist". 🙌🏻
