Its Election time again 😟 and we have a message for all council candidates re sorting out Scotland's streets so they are fit for walking see: livingstreets.org.uk/media/7039/man… please help us get the message out so Local Authorities take walking seriously.

If you do just two things today … watch and read this speech by Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський … and support him in his efforts to get it seen far and wide in 🇷🇺 where it will not be shown on official media. He is asking for all our help to let them know the truth of what is happening in 🇺🇦

Downing street lit up in Ukrainian colours whilst suspending visa's for Ukrainian nationals. If you want a real example of "virtue signaling" that is it!

Seeing UK Prime Minister showing “support” for Ukraine with a facade of lights in Ukrainian flag colours - while the government simultaneously suspends visa applications for Ukrainians fleeing the war - is truly sickening. The sheer, brazen, absolute hypocrisy.

Danish government: We'll take 20,000 Ukrainian refugees Polish government: You don't need a passport. Come here for safety & you can even bring your pets UK government: We lit up some buildings blue & yellow

All Ukrainians have 3 month visa free entry to ALL Schengen area in Europe The UK is this evening 👇 turning back Ukrainians trying to take the Eurostar in Paris to be with actual family members in the UK What has Britain become since it voted for this awful government ?

Dr Linda Dykes has moved to Bluesky Jess Phillips The NHS has NOT "failed". It has been sabotaged by sustained underfunding because Tories are ideologically opposed to state provision of health care.

There is poverty in this country now on a scale I honestly thought would never exist again in the UK. Things got fixed when we had a Labour government for over a decade. They won’t get fixed by a government that won’t even recognise the scale of the problem 2/4

Safer to Sciennes physical activity as part of daily life, habits established in childhood like active travel. The transformative health benefits of exercise that need The City of Edinburgh Council to work with groups like @best_edinburgh as a priority. Values based decision making instead of fear.
