We must do more to make walking a mile & cycling longer 'short trips' the 1st choice. Provide safe, pleasant space ( cycle secure parking). Huge co-benefits - safer roads, independent children's mobility, improved health, less air pollution & co2e emissions. @IanPhilipsITS

I question @CrossCountryUK logic of having a 4 car service on a day when the York Races are on. This is the 12.08 from Leeds to Edinburgh.

This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 theguardian.com/environment/…

Labour to commit almost £22bn to fund carbon capture and storage projects

Investment will fund two CCS clusters – but environmental campaigners have criticised plans

These narratives are so exhausting & exist to both justify inequalities whilst positioning the working-class as stupid, uncultured & undeserving. So let’s take this example of ‘the seaside is free’ as an option for a family day out for a single mother of 3 kids from London.

LNER trains to London from Scotland. So much privilege on display by young adults trying to wangle it when they don't have a valid ticket for the train. At the same time, our trains are way too expensive & the ticketing rules are Byzantine for infrequent travellers.
