Brexit red-tape has created nearly 2 BILLION extra pieces of paperwork for British businesses.

That's enough to wrap around the world 15 times. 🀯

We need affordable housing that provides children with safe, communal doorstep space to play, safe streets to get around and a sense of community. If they really want to β€œraise the healthiest generation”, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social need to engage with this report. www.tcpa.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Home truths: the only thing Labour is building is a bigger, more dysfunctional housing market | George Monbiot Private developers offer politicians a simple solution for bulldozing through this crisis – build more. But it won’t work, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

There is much to criticise about a β€œbuild, baby, build” approach, and @georgemonbiot.bsky.social does! But, as always, *children* will be the main losers of more thoughtless, profit-led house-building, both now and into the future. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

Sending solidarity and birthday wishes to Gaie Delap, a peaceful climate protester who is spending her 78th birthday behind bars – all because the private company responsible for fitting electronic tags couldn't find one the right size for her. Will keep pushing for her release.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

Planet could 'cease to function' without action to address soil decay The world's growing population is putting pressure on its arable land, and scientists warn 90 per cent of all soil could be degraded by 2050 unless urgent action is taken.

Now THIS is quite concerning, to say the least. #environment

40 per cent of the world's soil is already degraded, but the problem could get much worse.

Soil degradation threatens food supply and scientists are calling for action

A desperate loss to our rural and urban communities - exacerbated by the latest UK Budget only because the government are ramping up tax on employment rather than on income.. It’s a pub and hospitality killer: β€˜We’ve lost 20,000 pubs in the last 40 years’
