@ChrisJHutch74 @bikesnobnyc @MikeyCycling Yes, or at least reduces the rate of getting fat. Probably need to add some more mileage to get to the right level of balance with the calorie intake 🤣

RT @flangeworthy: UK companies are trashing the environment and wrecking the lives of people overseas through their global supply chains - and UK law lets them do it. We need a new #BizHumanRights law to make them accountable.

@bikesnobnyc @MikeyCycling I cycle about 1000 miles a year. I have three bikes, all of them second hand, costing me between £20 and £90 or so. I buy a few accessories/improvements after purchase, plus lights or high viz stuff occasionally. Otherwise I need nothing fancy to wear. Mileage is virtually free.

RT @AdrianRamsay: Hugely disappointing #QueensSpeech
The govt is failing to get to grips with the cost of living crisis & climate emergency. Greens have a plan to tackle both through a multi-billion pound programme of home insulation to cut energy bills & carbon emissions

Well that's all very well but what about the rest of the ways in which workers are exploited and loopholes remain? @TheGreenParty would strengthen union rights, raise the minimum wage to a real living wage and provide a UBI so that you're free to leave an abusive employer.

RT @AmnestyUK: 5/5 We must not let politicians take away our rights. Weakening the Human Rights Act would hurt us all, but it’s the most vulnerable who would suffer most.
It's time to speak up for our freedoms.

RT @MissFairhurst: @JolyonMaugham @DominicRaab Government know they're already breaking the rules which is why they want to do away with them.
Our Home Secretary should already be doing time for human rights abuses. She was on radio news, this morning, vilifying asylum seekers by wrongly labelling their actions as illegal.

The way to stop disruptive climate protests is to do what the protesters are suggesting. Less disruptive and better for everyone. You can't silence people by force but you can listen to them, so they don't have to be so loud.

@ggverte @Conservatives Indeed. It's the slash & burn for profit party. It's the defraud the poor and feed the rich party. It's the return favours party. It's the party paid by Putin to put a spanner into the works of Europe. No one should be under any illusion. They are working for the enemy.

No rights for workers then.
What happened to the outrage about fire and rehire? Oh no, they were crocodile tears.
Tories just prefer exploitation and profit for shareholders. #VoteGreen

@ggverte Legislation that will undo years of good environmental legislation from the EU. Legislation to facilitate police brutality against environmental protesters. Legislation designed to promote economic growth at the expense of the natural world and our children's future. Shame!

@ggverte It's a complete insult to her majesty when she must read out things with which she profoundly disagrees. Used to tell us so with a brooch or hat etc. Now #PrinceCharles will read out legislation to destroy our natural habitats and spew sewage in the sea for profit. Shame!
