The worst way to subside transport decarbonisation is to subsidise cars. Even if they're EVs. Subsidise public transport. Offer concessionary fares for the people on low incomes, older people and younger people who are less likely to own a car. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@thomasforth @justspace7 Right To Buy. Total lack of housing strategy generally. No industrial strategy. No devolution. Apart from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Failure to put local gov on sustainable financial footing... Privatisation of water & trains etc The list is pretty endless .. 😵‍💫

This has got me thinking about what else I'd put in my top three policy failures of the last five decades list. * Bus deregulation. * Abolition of metropolitan county and Greater London councils. But what else? Having been undone by the same party that implemented them is a clue.
Jonathan Eley@JonathanEley

@thomasforth The first line of the actual piece is even better: "One of the biggest policy failures of the past 50 years is the deregulation of England’s buses outside London, imposed by the Transport Act 1985" He's right. It was an environmental, social and financial disaster

Build council homes and control private rents. That is how we would fix the housing crisis. Join us at yourparty.uk.

Our Letter to London. We need to: fund social housing, regulate/control rents in the Private Rented Sector, use derelict/empty properties, end unsafe living conditions, & ultimately treat housing as a roof over heads, not an investment. cprelondon.org.uk/news/a-letter-…

What is a legal e-bike? 🚲 ⬇️ If it doesn't meet these criteria, it's a Motorised Pedal bike (Moped) i.e. a motorbike 🛵... and needs a licence plate, driving licence to drive, etc.

To put this into context, since 2016, 30 people have been killed in collisions involving cyclists. In that time over 17,000 have been killed in collisions involving drivers. I don't have a problem with the new law, but let's not think this will reduce deaths on our roads.

Just watched a TikTok video about the Elephant and Castle station redevelopment. 485 new homes will be build above. 172 will be ‘affordable’ and only 3 will be social housing. 3! Need to look into it but that’s wild if true.

The term ‘affordable homes’ does a lot of heavy lifting. 17,400 - ‘the number of affordable homes funded through Section 106 agreements with detailed planning consent that had no buyer in October 2024…’ Out of 27k - 44% of affordable homes delivered in 2023-24 From @NAOorguk.

Impressive work @EllyBakerAM @CarolineRussell 👏👏👏 The failure to regulate unnecessary and dangerous SUVs at a national and international level is leaving city leaders with little choice but to take a stand and do all they can to end #carspreading on our streets. @cities_clean

With 1.3 million people on housing waiting lists we desperately need to build more social housing - but instead this government is giving carte blanche to developers to bulldoze communities and nature for expensive housing. Another betrayal from this Labour govt.
The Green Party@TheGreenParty

Will the government sell us out to big developers? Or will they restore Britain's social housing so that we all have a place to call home?

I urge the Government to back my Planning & Infrastructure Bill amendments. We were promised a win-win for nature and growth - we got a developer’s charter that will destroy nature. Let’s change course and deliver for workers and wildlife. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
