Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.

Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.

Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.

Would be great to also include some housing on the upper floors, Oxford desperately needs central housing options such as some studios, rather than more offices. Some studios could make quite a difference and would be certain to be desired.

Indeed! Pont de Tolbiac just got wider bike lanes for instance - I love seeing these changes :) I hope it continues after the รฉlections. Especially given more than half of the promised infrastructure is still due!

Indeed. Today's world needs the Green Deal more urgently than ever! Let's get going on electrification across the EU and reduce our total energy requirements that way while also ending fossil fuel energy import dependency! #beyondgrowth #sufficiency #notowar

Global economy must stop pandering to โ€˜frivolous desires of ultra-richโ€™, says UN expert Olivier De Schutter says new economic agenda needed to tackle crises of rising inequality and ecological collapse

Even the UN is now acknowledging beyond growth and even post-growth. We are moving.

Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

Really happy about the recent improvements to make junctions safer in Paris - hoping this continues and gets rolled out across more intersections to prevent road deaths. A lot more needed so let's keep going! @emmanuelspv.bsky.social @parisenselle.fr @davidbelliard.bsky.social

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.

This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.

And we're making hope normal again - together.

Warum meldet nir die franzรถsische Zeitung Le Monde, dass die Luftqualitรคt von Berlin sich feinstaubmรครŸig in Richtung der von Peking entwickelt (wir erinnern uns: die CDUSPD-Regierung hat etliche 30km/h-Zonen in der Stadt beseitigt)? Warum sind die Berliner Zeitungen davon nicht voll?

๐ŸŽ‰ MASSIVE congratulations to Hannah Spencer on being elected to represent Gorton & Denton in the House of Commons for @greenparty.org.uk.

This is an unprecedented result, enlarging further the biggest representation of Greens in UK history.

Hope is stronger than hate.

Fantastic news that Gorton and Denton now has Hannah Spencer MP who says

"Privatisation has failed"

"We can [reduce bills] by nationalising the water companies and the energy companies"

"I will not stop shouting about an NHS that could be as brilliant as it once was"

Now watch the billionaire media throw all the dirt it can at the Greens, who could thwart its dream of a Farage government.

Good morning.

If you've just woken up, the politics of hope just crushed the politics of fear and hatred (Labour-Reform).

It wasn't even close.

40.6% for the Greens. Reform second on 28.7%, Labour third on 25.4%.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

JETZT bestรคtigt: Dramatischer Kurswechsel in der deutschen Wรคrmepolitik.

Fossile Heizungen bekommen ein Comeback durch die Hintertรผr. Wรคhrend die Wรคrmewende endlich skaliert, sendet die Politik ein Signal der Verunsicherung.

So vertagt man strukturelle Probleme โ€“ bis zur nรคchsten Energiekrise.

This is so ridiculous - why are so many train companies (also looking at you SNCF!) limiting luggage on trains - being able to take what you can carry is one of the main pros of trains for many travellers and just should be standard, especially on international trains!
