Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.
My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

The Rees Moggs will still do History degrees. The Johnsons will still do Classics.
Sadly, the Wilsons from South Bank in Middlesbrough won't get the intellectual stimulation of studying a subject of interest for a degree.

Sometimes I think the biggest challenge for progressives in the UK is not how to get Zack/Keir/Ed elected but how to get Andy Street and those like him elected again.

This๐๐! Despite being in most other ways the best borough in London, even I must admit that Lewisham is a bit notorious for dog shit. Time for government and @lewisham.gov.uk to take action!

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time โ almost 200 years earlier than predicted โ following the Mayorโs "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

Cities need smart strategies to manage vehicle size. NOT bigger parking space requirements.

What is a reactionary centrist, and does the UK have them?
A term favoured by US progressives can help us understand Britainโs drift to the right
Buckle is just correct about reactionary centrists in the UK, they are a genuine threat to our democracy and will have us down the same path as the USA. Seeing how much of the authoritarian drive in the US has been due to elite acquiescence has shaken me.

Went to Isaac Newton's house at Easter and the curation strongly hints at this if never wanting (probably wisely) to put a label on a historical figure.

Income from working shouldn't be the highest taxed form of income. Sensibel people across all parties can agree on that. Well done @resfoundation.bsky.social for suggesting some small steps to address that issue, I hope HMT is listening.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?
Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just donโt want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Amid all the stuff about โdangerous Londonโ and โbroken Britainโ, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

Looking forward to the Telegraph campaign to end the use of "car killing" bricks and mortar and make all buildings out of straw so drivers can once again be free to drive into them without consequence.

an absolute pleasure to wander around Bradford with @cyclopsdave.bsky.social, Ranty and others to see the transformation of this urban centre. Absolutely incredible change from just a few years ago. Beautiful as the pictures are, my takeaway was the quiet. All you could hear was birds and children.

The government is absolutely right to have a greater focus on preventing people getting ill as part of the NHS reforms - including more active travel๐ฒ๐ถโฟ
Walking, cycling or wheeling every day can reduce all cause mortality by 20% - improving lives & saving the NHS billions.

For the sake of argument, let's say all the electricity for heatpumps comes from gas imported from Norway but because they're more efficient every new heatpump cuts the imported gas to heat a home by ***waves hands*** 25%. What happens to GDP as we install more and more heatpumps? It grows right?

Given the impact trade balance has on GDP, I've always wondered what if any effect steadily reducing the % of energy which is imported versus produced (renewably) domestically would be.

Lessons for policymakers on interpreting ethnic differences of opinion
New poll shows varying views among ethnic groups, but that is not the whole story
@stephenkb.bsky.social, you're probably well ahead on this one but the below looks very much like a classic Simpson's Paradox. Urban/rural splits can also lead to negative ethnic minority pay gaps.
