Life in the UK has got so much worse in the decade since Brexit, in every way I can think of. Surely people must realise it can't be a coincidence. I saw this with a link to a letter to write to your MP. I hope all MPs get flooded with them. bsky.app/profile/mike...

Nothing so heartwarming as seeing children with the freedom to ride London’s streets on a sunny Sunday. Showing so very clearly the price we pay for the everyday traffic-clogged state of our roads. 🤸🏽 🌱 🚲

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. 

We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.
