I’m proud that the ULEZ scrappage scheme, the biggest in the UK, has supported so many Londoners to switch to cleaner, greener forms of transport.
It has made a huge difference to our air quality.

Despite so much UK electricity now coming from cheap renewables, household bills remain sky-high thanks to electricity prices being tied to volatile gas markets.

Kudos to Ed Miliband for making this happen 👏
Yes, it's long overdue, but the real culprit here was George Osborne who slashed the 2016 zero carbon homes target, followed by years of dithering by the Tories amid a flurry of donations from housebuilders.

The implicated OCD genes have been identified for the first time (and, unsurprisingly, they're similar to those seen in Tourette's, anxiety, and anorexia). Researchers can use the info to better target treatments.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.
