🚗 💨 Pollution alert!

Walk, cycle, catch the bus, tube or overground and avoid driving if you possibly can!

This will help people with asthma or other lung and heart conditions to get on with their days safely.

Walking and cycling in Bristol save NHS more than £15m a year Bristol's transport supremo says there is a "clear mandate" to continue with active travel initiatives across the city

“Key findings from Bristol’s 2025 Walking and Cycling Index include:

- 66% of those surveyed thought fewer cars parked on the pavement would help them to walk or wheel more”

Fantastic

Child’s drawing of Keir Starmer. He looks like a square headed robot in a blue suit, with massive feet.

My son’s class were drawing Keir Starmer yesterday and the photos on Dojo are HILARIOUS. I kid you not - they ALL drew him with a square head. Wish I could share the others, but here’s my son’s depiction of our robot overlord.

Here's a video from the leaders of the Core Cities about anti-racism.

It's good to watch if only to find out who the leaders of the Core Cities are and what they look and sound like!

An embrace from the film Sentimental Value

8. Sentimental Value - 8/10
The scene where she looks through the documents adds one mark to this - profoundly troubling and real. The performances are all exemplary and empathetic, but something about the screenplay held it back from classic territory for me.

The main character in Is This Thing On? holding a microphone on stage doing stand-up comedy

7. Is This Thing On? - 7/10
I liked this and it rang true but I think it's a classic US comedy-drama where you'd prefer it if they just reined it in a bit. The supporting characters were either annoying or had about two lines a piece.

Still of a scene from Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (where they are writing on the windows).

6. Little Amélie or the Character of Rain - 7/10
Good animation and decent story, but I am not a big fan of the non-realist beginning stuff, it made me roll my eyes.

Now now. They have been ok to watch from this neutrals perspective. (Read: I had Calvert-Lewin in my FPL team when he had his richest vein of form...!)

This is really good stuff. It's a shame that it's coming from a discredited government on so many othrt issues and, of course, you cannot truly call a Bill "Representation of the People" if you aren't legislating for the one single thing that would improve that most: proportional representation.

Thanks for your firsthand account.

Yes. I was at the game tonight. It obviously wasn't all the fans or anything like that. But it was loud, there were several thousand and they knew why they were doing it.

Embarrassing. And determined that these people won't own football or my football club.

“The Prime Minister has jumped into yet another Middle East illegal war failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya, and Syria.”

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

So if I’ve understood correctly, we’re going to carry on supporting illegal wars whilst also blaming people who flee the ensuing chaos and destruction

Speaking to the Guardian on the day before the byelection result, Mahmood urged her colleagues to acknowledge that the UK public had “legitimate grievances” about the unfairness of allowing people to arrive in small boats and the strain on public services from excessive immigration.

Compare and contrast Starmer calling Green's "extremists", "divisive" and "sectarian" with Mahmood repeating false Reform claims about "legitimate concerns" and "strain on public services". It isn't a choice between Reform and Labour when end result is the same.

Leeds v Man City: Boos heard during Ramadan pause at Elland Road Boos are heard during a brief break in play to allow players observing Ramadan to break their fast during Saturday's match between Leeds United and Manchester City.

Dispiriting. Still a long way to go.

So nothing to do with promotion and relegation then?

'The mayor must be more ambitious and back control of our region's bus network' Green councillor Toby Wells says metro mayor Helen Godwin needs to deliver "desperately needed change"

✅ As my colleague @tobywells.bsky.social points out, "franchising is such a good idea that it was universally supported by all parties" in the mayoral elections.

❌ But now she is in power, Labour's mayor is dragging her feet.

🚌 We need better buses, not more Labour delays and broken promises.

Controversial way the Greens are tackling Bristol's housing crisis Council leader calls for more Government

It's not that controversial when you read it and understand it...

I genuinely don't understand why promotion and relegation has led to clubs going bankrupt. Is it because there's no equivalent of parachute payments or is it something else?

Positioning himself for leader bit doubt he will ever be it. The Labour party isn't for leftwingers.

Prem: Relegation scrapped as league switches to franchise-style model Traditional promotion and relegation to and from the Prem will be scrapped from the 2026-27 season as landmark changes to the English game are voted through.

Ugh. English rugby union to become like US sports. Promotion and relegation give lesser sides agony and glory. That's what sport is about.

Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard on the Gorton and Denton campaign.
Reform tried to smear our candidate, Laboured tried to smear our policies, but in the end the people saw through it.

Thank you! It turns out my zip has been fixed by my lovely significant other, and we have figured out the kettle. But more things will break, so we'll use this link!

I mean, I could provide a list, but it would obviously not be as long as the one she could provide on me, so I'll keep quiet.

This clip is gonna be getting a lot of use the next few months
