Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Mental illness is on the rise in the UK as a direct consequence of austerity, entrenched inequality, crumbling public services, and now a cost of living crisis. Cutting benefits would make people’s health worse, when what they need is to be taken seriously and supported. Me on @lbc.co.uk:

Yesterday we wrote to Glasgow MPs, highlighting our deep concern about decisions made by the UK government and the devastating impact they're having on Glasgow's health and social care services. Without additional funding, there will be approx. 140 job losses this year alone.
