When cities are built with women in mind, they become more liveable for everyone.
A fairer planning approach that promotes a universal right to access the city, and considers every aspect of human life, from infancy to elderly; not just those in the so-called productive stage.

Haven’t been the biggest of Monbiot fanboys down the years but I’m increasingly feeling he has his finger absolutely on the pulse.
By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.

Some of the most interesting revelations from the Epstein files are the emails from financiers celebrating Brexit for weakening the UK.
These same financiers are behind Reform UK and Trump. They all *want* a society unencumbered by consumer and environmental protection.

You know, you get to understand why people are so fed up with the petty personal nature of politics when you see this Starmer, Burnham shit.
Don’t complain when people vote en-masse for something totally different and untried in future.
No matter that alternative is undoubtedly worse.

Critically, we also need the public to support actions that enable older people to live great lives without having to drive for when they fail the eye tests. So the public need to get onboard with no pavement parking, pedestrian priority, denser housing, fewer out-of-town shopping centres, etc etc
90% of Britons support government proposals to require drivers over the age of 70 to have their vision checked every three years - including 89% of the over-65s

Greenland is so important to US security that the number of personnel at their military base at Piffufik in northern Greenland has declined from 10,000 in the 80s to 200 now.
Many of them are catering staff and cleaners.
The US had 17 bases there in those years, now one.
