Here's a 🎶 twist on @coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraini #Dontabandonthem

💥Just launched! Thames Water is collapsing. Tell the government to take it into public ownership PERMANENTLY and protect the public interest. Sign our petition 👇 weownit.org.uk/act-now/bring-…

Umm, sorry @SteveReedMP but you haven't. Allowing incompetent water companies to keep their licences is NOT cleaning up the "Tories' #sewage crisis", it's forcing us bill payers to pay twice over. Put all failing water companies into #PublicOwnership now! @We_OwnIt @premnsikka

How do you say “we told you so” nicely, without screaming? Without upsetting the comfortable classes who told us we were wrong, or that we were over-dramatic, or scare-mongering, or plain mad? Who put some of the best people in the world in prison FOR BEING RIGHT? A thread 🧵1/12

Think rain gardens only thrive in spring and summer? 🌧❄️ Even in cold weather, rain gardens play a vital role. The Esther Road rain gardens in @WFCouncil cover 83m² and feature over 500 hardy plants that soak up stormwater, reduce flooding, and bring year-round greenery to the community. Designed to be resilient through all seasons, these rain gardens continue to manage water runoff and support urban biodiversity, even when temperatures drop. Our maintenance team visit the site to clean, clear, water and ensure the SuDS remain functional and effective. @labourstone #RainGardens #SuDS #SustainableDesign #WalthamForest #GreenInfrastructure #FloodPrevention #CommunityGreening
