Lovely sunny (but chilly) morning for bulb planting with some very excited and keen mini gardeners.
The kids had great fun planting lots of bulbs which will add lots of colour to the Palace Road rain gardens next spring. Thanks to Abacus nursery and Father Nature for letting us join in! 🌷🌼🪻🐝🐝🐞🌳

Had we stayed in the EU, the government could have reduced the tax burden by £64bn today rather than increasing it by £26bn. The right wing press/journalists championed a policy to make Britons poorer. Such patriots.

Distinguishing between adults' wants and children's needs would be a good step forward in Wandsworth (and other) Council policymaking on the design and management of our streets.
The desires of non-local adults driving are put firmly above the safety of local primary school children walking to school
Even in London where councils have all the powers they need to eliminate pavement parking (and have done since 1978), many councils actively enable pavement driving - this is our walk to school #wandsworth @solveschoolrun.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social @wandsworthls.bsky.social

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.
This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

How is that the joint top priority to worry about everyday is immigration? It’s not personal health, having a secure home to live in nor putting food on the table. Dare I suggest people’s concerns are predominantly led by the media (which is terrifying)

This is what happens if you support populists like Johnson & Farage. We just get poorer.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Nick Clegg would also have known this.
Tobacco giants knew their products caused cancer.
Oil companies knew their products cause climate change.
Social media companies know their products facilitate abuse of minors
Seeing a pattern? It’s not a few bad actors it’s a feature of a system that rewards profit at any cost

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Farage wants to DOGE the UK - put taxes up for worse services
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

This is also about community. The wealthiest in our neighbourhood are also the least likely to be engaged with their local community - eg least likely to send their children to local schools, least likely to volunteer, least likely to know their neighbours
@zackpolanski.bsky.social on taxing the rich: "This is about inequality. For decades now poor people have got poorer and rich people have got richer... the money [raised] is important but the real point is about tackling inequality.. we need to get those assets flowing around the economy"
