🫰 New Government data reveals there are currently more than 330 competitive funding streams for local authorities, with a third worth less than £1 million.
📈 While £1 in every £4 of grant funding has been allocated by competition over the last four years.

💸 Meanwhile, between £27m and £67m has been spent by local authorities preparing competitive bids since 2019.
⛔ That's money that can't be spent on delivery.

🌱 This issue is particularly acute when it comes to supporting #LocalNetZero — where collaboration (not competition) is more important than ever.
📄 It's why @CSkidmoreUK's #MissionZero #NetZeroStrategy review supported UK100's call to simplify of #LocalNetZero funding.

👎🏾Today’s #GreenDay strategies repeatedly stress how crucial Local Authorities are in the transition - but then fail to provide any actions to support us TODAY.
It’s frustrating to keep being told we’re key, yet not being given the tools we really need.
💬My words in @room_151:

💬My words in @room_151:
Of particular frustration is the out of hand dismissal of introducing a statutory duty, or associated powers, for Local Authorities.
Our @CityWestminster response on this was quoted in @CSkidmoreUK’s Net Zero Review - and @UK100_ and many others have long asked for it

Why is this important?
Lack of a duty means climate action plays second fiddle to other statutory duties.
In Westminster this means eg. local heritage > climate. In other resource-strapped councils, this means, despite commitments, climate is often not THE priority.

🧵GREEN FINANCE STRATEGY
Despite the obvious low ambition on green public spending & the UK's (lack of) response to US & EU in today's various strategies, hidden among the 1,000+ pages are also positives - namely on the green finance regulation side.

Firstly: positive updates on UK Green Taxonomy. Since the December delay, the need for clarity for the market was crucial.

Hey, Bay Area (and everyone outside our bubble): it's September 1. #sanfrancisco #oakland #berkeley #rock
Live music everywhere is in peril. Here, the clubs that brought the world Green Day, The Coup, Frightwig & Fantastic Negrito may not make it. Folks have organized and are trying to help. I know nothing about the org except #RedAlertRESTART #ExtendPUA

Now the personal: If only we could get our household ANY due benefits, we'd be in business: @ThePeterCase has been a pro touring musician since the '70s, has not worked since Feb and there's no sign of going back. This isn't our story but it might be yours
🍩 No es por nada, pero les traemos el mejor hilo del mundo. ¿Por qué? No hay por qué (?). O mejor dicho, si, porque junta a #LosSimpson y el #Rock. ¿Hace falta decir algo más? Miiiiiilhoooooouseeeeee! 🍩
It happened on 21st May, 2020 when those with Korean suddenly made mass complaints to a hoodie on Sega shop, saying that the design of the hoodie which looks like #JapaneseRisingSunFlag, offended them. This thread is my view for their bizarre complaints to anyone who's innocent🐰
I want you to think with this thread whether they really have right to ruin other's property that's made with lots of time and money just because it looks like something they don't like despite they can prove no apparent link to the thing they don't like🐰
1/9 Facts
Both #TaiseiYokusanKai flag and #JapaneseRisingSun flag that were used during WW2 have already been abolished by Japanese themselves just after WW2 ended. If you have no problem with Germany now, there's nothing that Japan needs to ban in Japan, too🐰
