The net worth of the British royal family is estimated at £22billion, according to Forbes.
King Charles’ own wealth of over £2billion is independent of this.
The Crown Estate is valued at about £16billion.
Why don’t we give this cash to the NHS instead?
Put that on a bus!

She stripped away their control. Now, they want her silenced.

If you want to know why scientists are so worried about the threat of #AMOC collapse, I try to explain it here: newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Scrapping the £2 bus fare cap is a disgraceful decision that will harm the poorest in society, and discourage public transport at a time when it is needed more than ever.
Why is the government punishing people for trying to get to work?

We recommend the UK’s NDC commits to reduce territorial greenhouse gas emissions by 81% from 1990 to 2035. It is informed by the latest science, technological developments, and the UK’s national circumstances. It is ambitious and deliverable.

This is a real testament to the vision of Lee Waters in getting this implemented. Nearly everyone benefits
Counties in England that are resisting calls for 20mph speed limits in villages, such as @EastSussexCC, should think again
25 Oct 2024
The 25% drop in year on year road casualties on 20/30 mph roads in Wales since implementing an urban/village 20mph default is more than twice the largest annual change seen since 1945, apart from the COVID year.

Big Oil is using carbon capture to avoid cutting North Sea gas output.
BP has even admitted it👇😲
It’ll be disastrous for our climate if the Gov green-lights the Tories’ £22B #CCS plans—ignoring increasingly urgent warnings from scientists.
16 Oct 2024
Carbon capture plans are a smokescreen to enable Big Oil to keep pumping North Sea gas. Don't believe me?
A @bp_plc internal email says that this technology will "enable the full use of fossil fuels across the energy transition and beyond." euronews.com/green/2022/09/2… #CCS

Last govt most certainly would have got right on and built it. Rishi Sunak, 2020 Budget speech: ’There's one more road I want to mention, one of our most important regional arteries. To the many who have campaigned for this moment – I say:
The A303 - we're going to get it done.'

Campaigners were in fact successful in stopping the road plan @BBCWiltshire. Without our decade-long campaign, Rachel Reeves could not have cancelled #Stonehenge scheme since the Stonehenge WHS would have long been a construction site.

The UK could turn as cold as Scandinavia. Why aren’t we preparing?
Nothing is certain in the casino of climate physics, but if a vital ocean current collapses temperatures will plummet over the decades that follow — and Britain is ‘ground zero’.

Louise Haigh's roads review should force @NationalHways to focus on road maintenance and climate adaptation, making existing infrastructure more resilient.
Instead they blow the roads budget on vanity projects like the £9bn Lower Thames Crossing

We need to switch funding away from new roads and into public transport and active travel.
If you agree, please write to Louise Haigh today. Our template letter is easy to edit and send actionnetwork.org/letters/he…

Local bus services are not just a mode of transport but a cornerstone of local economies.

Hugh Laurie sharing great rugby moments late at night for no discernible reason is the first good thing to happen on Twitter in about two years.

If you don’t speak Rugby, this will be baffling. If you do, you will recognise it as one of the greatest passages of play in the history of the game. Japan, offered repeated chances to tie with South Africa, risk it all in the final minutes. WC 2015 youtube.com/watch?v=RgxoGMmC…

Great that 61 bus between 2 communities (#Tring & #Pitstone/#Ivinghoe), combined pop 16k, now calls at Tring Station from Sept 2nd, may be permanent. Thin publicity so far. Station car park often bursting, £7-10. Lets promote a big #publictransport win @BucksCouncil @hertscc

What an incredible year it has been, with communities being transformed by 20mph in a way no one ever thought was possible. In Wales we are truly experiencing a ‘Brave New World’ and proud to be at the cutting edge of a road safety revolution that is sweeping the civilised world.

In Wales after a national default 20mph urban/village limit was implemented a year ago:
☼Speeds are down by 4-6mph
☼Casualties are down 29%
☼Insurance claims down 20%
☼Insurance companies are setting lower premiums - £50 less for average driver
☼Only 10,500 requests made for change of a road back to 30mph. That's only 0.525% of the 2 million Welsh driving license holders.
Well done Wales - Making Welsh places better places to be.
