Streets for Kids | Solve the School Run London's streets are dangerous and toxic for our children. Join us this election period in asking your council for Streets for Kids.

With local elections looming we're busy asking candidates to put our #StreetsForKids asks into their manifestos:

• An effective School Street for every school
• Access to a cargo bike for every family
• A child-friendly kerbside

👍️ It's looking good!

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Belgium MP Paul Magnette: “Not one of our soldiers, not one of our weapons, should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say no to Trump, like Spain did”

Spain’s PM “They say Spain is alone.”

“But they’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine and then many followed.”

“We are not alone. We are the first of many.”

Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

"The woman’s central allegation, according to FBI summaries of her interviews with investigators, known as FBI 302s, is that Trump hit her after she bit his penis when he attempted to force her to perform oral sex."

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.

Hey guess what.

True story.

The U.S. and Britain already overthrew the Iran government in 1953.

We placed a dictator in charge.

Who then terrorised the Iranian people for a quarter of a century.

The U.S. and Britain got 40% of their oil fields.

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

"Some of my team-mates started to worry that someone was watching them, even through the window. They had trouble sleeping, some girls were vomiting,"

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
