I would definitely buy that water bottle. Maybe you could do a range of coasters with ‘I think that’s really helpful’ and so on

This is bittersweet for me, b/c I initiated the process with TfL that has led to this outcome all the way back in 2017 when TfL supported our initial Riding Sunbeams feasibility study to explore the potential for solar traction.
But we fell out of their subsequent tender process at the first hurdle

A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying £5 daily congestion charge

In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."

A diagram showing how a 2 minute delay to an active travel trip reduces the accessible area from a 15-minute trip by 25%

As I was made to wait 2.5 minutes to cross a road this morning, let's again do the maths simple.ghost.io/lets-do-the-...

Haringey u-turning on bringing in bus lanes so returning £10m to TfL, and buses will still be blocked by tons of cars. 🤷‍♀️

What a contrast to Oxford St where we are finally seeing the radical reprioritisation of road space needed to meet a future vision for our city.

Don’t even

They’re gonna have to give that £10m back to TfL now, the absolute dimwits

"In Paris, France, water is 100% municipally owned and the customer satisfaction rate of the publicly owned Eau de Paris ranges from 90-96%."

I have never really understood the phrase ‘chickens coming home to roost’, but I still know it when I see it

I know it’s only Tuesday and there’s a new World War on, but this is still the stupidest thing I’ve read all week

"The feedback from residents was overwhelming and they made it clear these proposals would not reduce congestion in the area which was a key issue for the community."

THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 3 March

This viral video claims to show the aftermath of a reported drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight.

But the video was posted last week to TikTok, and shows an unrelated car accident in Riyadh.

Ellie Chowns asks the PM if he'll publish the legal advice the govt received on the initial US/Israel attack on Iran.

Keir Starmer says no, he won't.

Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts. City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”

The UK Government Blocked this Climate Intelligence Report — Here’s What It Said Supressed since last year and only now revealed thanks to an FoI request — this MI5 climate change report makes for chilling reading

So, it turns out that the UK national security report on nature -only published last month thanks to an FOI request - omitted the most serious forecasts. I've updated my earlier piece here with the @itvnews.bsky.social revelations:

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons"

When's the vote, Keir?

Not that difficult is it

we have reached the “Nazi medical experiments” stage of our concentration camp effort

Good morning to nearly everyone

Tbf no 10 never spoke about any of this so you wouldn’t necessarily know unless you listened to Miliband

It’s literally the one frontier they’ve managed to deliver sensible, constructive policy changes on afaics

It’s because the taxi passengers can still kill cyclists by dooring them at will, so it all works out fairly

Its genuinely mad that we are, arguably, the most successful multicultural state on earth and instead of celebrating that we...

...keep trying to copy nations who have very evidently done worse at it than us

The acts of defiance can be big or small. Painting over a bigoted piece of graffiti. Running a youth club for refugees in an area that mostly loathes them. Wearing a rainbow flag in an anti-queer neighbourhood.
These acts all accumulate towards something better, I have seen that in action.

Gorton and Denton will force Labour to rethink – it is no... The byelection humiliation is the harbinger of a cataclysmic night for Sir Keir Starmer in the May elections

'The best-laid schemes and all that. At the outset of the contest for Gorton and Denton, one cabinet member offered me this description of Labour’s strategy for hanging on to the seat: “This is about killing the Greens and then slugging it out with Reform.”''

Ouch! c/o @andrewrawnsley.bsky.social

Labour minister quits over probe into journalists Starmer’s ethics adviser flags ‘potential reputational damage’ from Josh Simons’ activities before being elected as an MP

"Reputational Damage" as Labour Together supports 100 Lab MPs with undeclared cash. Labour Together still exists and these days claims to be a Think Tank, Ha!
