It's time for water to be brought back into public ownership.

Firefighters need clean, high-pressure water to tackle fires safely - but private water companies have failed to deliver.

As a matter of existential urgency, the UK desperately needs a national broadcaster willing to report basic facts about the Reform Party.

The Telegraph’s editorial stance consistently rallies against any measures to reduce car dependency.

Their readers have now voted for their favourite European cities. The top 3: Seville, Copenhagen and Venice are well-known for not being filled with cars…

As promised, my written evidence is now on the @cityinfinity.bsky.social website blog. It has also been acknowledged by Parliamentary support.

I hope you understand why I have unusually disabled replies.

Cycling linked to lower dementia risk and better brain health, researchers find The study, which assessed almost 500,000 participants over a 13-year period, found that cycling was associated with a lower risk of all-cause dementia compared to driving

According to the study’s categorisation, travel that incorporated cycling was associated with a lower adjusted risk of young-onset dementia, late on-set dementia, and Alzheimer’s, compared to non-active transport.

Ever-rising height of car bonnets a ‘clear threat’ to children, report says High-fronted vehicles are more likely to kill and are on the rise in Europe with the UK an extreme example

If you choose to drive a high-bonnet SUV like a Land Rover or Range Rover then you are putting kids' lives at greater risk. There's not really any way around that.

Graphic showing hood heights and blind spot on two SUVs and a sedan. The higher the hood, the bigger the blind spot: More high-fronted SUVs would mean more children drivers don't see, says T&E.

Graphics on new bonnet/hood height report from @transenvuk.bsky.social are stark. But EuroNCAP says their testing shows that other metrics also important.

18 people killed by gunman in Dunblane - private gun ownership effectively banned in UK.

7 people killed by dogs - dangerous breeds banned.

240 people killed by knifemen - zombie knives banned.

29,000 people killed or maimed by car drivers - shrug of shoulders, tragic accidents aren’t they?

To those talking about 'Brexit surrender' - talk to this dipshit. He's the one who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, selling out farming & fishing, erecting huge barriers to trade and making everyone worse off. Just because he fancied a bash at being PM. Twat.

phone screen with a text message saying "would you mind putting your phone down im walking in front of your car"

Considering how often motorists are on their phones, texting might be the best option to get their attention

I suspect that you could seize the e-motorbikes or fine the rider based on existing laws (too powerful motor, no chain, riding on the pavement, no lights). Perhaps then we could focus on legalising e-scooters, fixing pavement parking and building safe active travel infrastructure.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better.

RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.
