My generation had no voice on Brexit – but Burnham gives the young fresh hope on Europe | Ceira Sergeant
Brexit didn’t create all the problems young people now face, but renewing close ties with Europe will give us so many opportunities, says student and activist Ceira Sergeant

Well said! The world is increasingly more dangerous- a closer relationship with the EU helps to keep Britain safe.
We're asking the government to set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform. It should be an independent review to build consensus for changing the electoral system for the Westminster Parliament. Add your name today: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”
How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets
Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

Awful of the BBC. How can they distribute a video that clearly shows that the official US government narrative is a lie without also stating that it's a lie? There aren't two sides to every story. Two news angles, yes: - Reality of what happened. - Official lying cover-up. But not two sides.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe BBC coverage is absolutely terrible. It leads on "sharply contested narratives" It has a dramatic skew to the US government It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
