Love @RBReich's remedies 9 and 10. No capitulation. Join together and challenge the bully. Could Robert Reich be @Keir_Starmer's special advisor, @lordmandelson?

If the Gov is determined to expand airports, adding 100,000s more flights to the skies and millions of tonnes of CO2 each year, then it needs to end aviation fuel's tax-free status. Taxing kerosene could raise billions to invest in sustainable public transport.

It’s rare that a major road scheme is cancelled. It's a chance to plan integration at rail heads. The ex-Stonehenge road could fund a sustainable travel revolution in the South West. @AndrewWickhamGo @Stagecoach_West @NetworkRailWssx @PensTransport

This is excellent news; a great appointment
@ruthdavis27 has a brilliant track record, and will bring passion and determination on #nature to UK foreign policy
But it's critical that this is matched by far greater efforts to restore nature at home!

Hello @EduardHabsburg. I heard you talking about your family ancestry on @TheRestHistory which prompted a question you might help me with: my neighbours near Carcavelos, Portugal (c1950s) were exiled from Hungary & styled "Archduke of Austria". Are they related to you?
Car-Free Family Travel Manifesto. Just the ticket for the South West.
@ecochris_todd @ashtreex @JohnAdamsEbble
10 ways to make car-free living mainstream for families.
Helen Chandler and Thomas Ableman ask for:
Free family railcards.
Pre-boarding trains for families at rail termini.
Free cargo-bike hire from councils so families can do the weekly shop without a car

Political advisers should act with transparency and impartiality. Boris' appointee Lord Walney should be investigated for potential conflicts of interest in advising 1government on protest. Ask @YvetteCooperMP to remove him. goodlawproject.org/petition/… via @goodlawproject

Very sad to learn of Tim Darvill's passing. Through his love of Stonehenge, we recall his inspirational and moving Human Henge project, an experimental approach to mental well-being.

It is with genuine sadness that we share the news that our Chairman, Tim Darvill, has passed away from cancer at the age of 66. Tim was a founding trustee of Cotswold Archaeology in 1989 and served as Chairman for 35 years, guiding us from our early days in Cirencester to becoming one of the UK’s leading archaeological organisations.
Tim was one of the foremost archaeologists of his generation, renowned for his work on Stonehenge, cultural heritage, and advancing commercial archaeology. His leadership, vision, and unwavering passion for "doing good archaeology" made him a brilliant mentor to many, and laid the foundation for all that we have achieved and all that we aspire to be at CA.
He will be profoundly missed by all of us, and our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the countless people he has inspired.
For more on Tim’s remarkable life and contributions, please read this statement from Tim's friend and colleague, and our CEO, Neil Holbrook: cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk/ti…
#CCS
This research on 180 year old trees is of great importance as it substantiates the major role for mature temperate forests in climate change mitigation.
As a method of proven CCS, it calls for urgent increased protection for mature trees.

"Learning about the effects of increased CO2 will also help us plant woodland most likely to survive and thrive in the future."
Here's more info which I think you'll find interesting; it explains my post a bit more as some people are not reading the 2nd part of the post, or the important link explaining it's about new research re *mature* trees, not carbon sequestration in general.

Excellent constituency MP, Michael Ancram threw his weight behind rural transport and supported the developing Wigglybus in the 1990s @wiltscouncil @BBCWiltshire He later introduced me to Labour's local tp minister Rosie Winterton to press for sustainable funding. A loss. RIP
RIP Michael Ancram.
He served with distinction as the MP for Devizes. A survivor of the Brighton bombing he pioneered the peace process in Northern Ireland. A one nation Tory and a gentleman, he will be missed.
My thoughts are with his family and friends. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp39…
Calling people within reach of Marlborough, Devizes and Pewsey Vale - wonderful memorial lectures in memory of an amazing person.
