I push my manual wheelchair up slopes with ease, I regularly swim 2.5km 💪. Its only hope would be turning round and seeing if it can go faster than me (and I'm not sure their design top speed will enable that).

If I come across one on a narrow path like that when I’m using my ♿️, one of us will end up in the road. And it won’t be me.

It's because the Conservatives are more bothered about stopping the #EastWestRail route (originally proposed by Tories) going through the farmland of north Bedfordshire that they refuse to investigate how to effectively stop people's homes being demolished.

3/3

My successful motion also commits #Bedford Borough council "To investigate options for the #railway and construction that will similarly obviate the need to demolish homes in the Poets estate". The Tories, on the other hand, voted AGAINST helping residents threatened with demolition by #EWR!

Motion makes clear to maximise the chances of making a case that will be listened to by a Government committed to building #EastWestRail, that any response to planning consultation about EWR on behalf of Bedford council shouldn't oppose the route, but should oppose all demolition of homes. 2/2

@emilykerr36.bsky.social @saskiaheijltjes.bsky.social Thanks so much for standing up for what is right. 🏳️‍⚧️ 💚

This is, also, the second poll with Greens on our highest ever poll rating, both coming within the last 8 polls - that period has also included (most recently before this one) a 16%, the only time Greens in this country have polled that number, and two on 15%, the previous record Green poll rating.

I've regularly come across "bike" being used to mean "motorbike" (eg "I like to go out on my bike", "watch out for bikes").
"Cycle", by contrast, never gets confused for "motorbike".

Would've been good 2 talk more/2 more ppl abt how those of us who use mobility aids need space to store & charge our mobility aids in our homes (& not face rules that ban us), but even with limited opportunities to do that, it was a really worthwhile day. #MyCycleMyMobilityAid #MyWheelsMyMobilityAid

It's not precise phrasing that was the problem. It's the racism that meant that she had thoughts along those lines she wanted to express.
In a way I'm glad though: it's a rare occasion when the mask comes down from RefUK to show what they're really like. *Remember, she was very carefully selected.*

If ur willing 2 get out & help the Green Party by delivering leaflets, please let me know - reply or send DM. If you're local, brilliant. If not, I'll try to put you in touch with local Greens where u r. Deliverin leaflets will be crucial way we convert surge in membership into more Greens elected.

Consultation at online1.snapsurveys.com/u1u1to. Pls answer "strongly disagree" to questions 5 & 7. (q5 "We are proposing...ABC&D...", q7 "Do you agree that every household...". Trying 2 make ppl in great poverty pay means pointless work 4 debt collectors, adds 2 misery & won’t raise £ for council).
