🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The police have banned anti-monarchy protests in Windsor. This is an attack on British democracy and the right to free speech. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

As a #SurreyCricket member sad to see #OvalInvincibles closed to be replaced by #MILondon whatever that is.

What we saw last week was one of the most dishonest Budgets I have ever seen.

Instead of fixing our trade with Europe and growing our economy, Labour chose more stealth taxes that will only make the cost of living crisis worse.

Zipcar, world’s biggest car-sharing company, to close UK operation Move by firm, owned by US group Avis Budget, will remove access to shared fleet across London at end of year

Zipcar's UK closure is devastating loss to shared economy, and to those of us who used it to avoid ever owning a car.

UK's low VED (annual car tax), hidden subsidies for residential parking and TfL's ambivalence to car sharing all take share of blame.

Today I pushed the Government to mandate public rights of way for walking, wheeling and cycling alongside new railway lines and to transform more disused lines into public rights of way, helping to create more active travel routes.

Good to meet with @UnlockDemocracy this week supporting their campaign for automatic electoral registration.

Today I pushed the Government to improve the longer distance south western rail services, including providing catering and seat reservation services on board. Passengers have put up with a poor service for too long.

There is a direct line between Donald Trump trying to destroy the BBC and him excusing the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Trump hates the independent free press – whether in the US, Saudi Arabia or the UK. We will always defend it.

Road collisions should not be viewed as inevitable. Today I pushed the Government to use the internationally recognised Safe System principles, grounded in harm reduction, as it develops a new road safety strategy.

Britain has the second-highest tidal range on the planet, behind Canada.

And yet we make use of nearly none of it.

If we seriously invest in tidal power, then we can create jobs, generate clean and cheap energy, and slash bills.

South Korea has passed a law such that car parks with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar canopies and carports.

Should our politicians follow suit rather than cover East Anglia's agricultural land?

Renters stuck in cold, draughty homes as landlords not inspected by councils A total of 200 councils did not investigate a single landlord for compliance with energy efficiency standards in the space of one year

Research by campaigning organisation Climate Emergency UK has found that only 37 per cent of councils carried out enforcement action against a private landlord to ensure their property met minimum energy efficiency standards in 2023/24.

Zarah Sultana’s NATO stance doesn’t add up Zarah Sultana’s call for Britain to quit NATO while Ukraine fights for survival isn’t radical or brave, it’s incoherent and shows a complete failure to grasp how deterrence and reality work.

"For the government it’s quite mad to keep using X. It’s active participation in its own destruction and against its own interests. I cannot fathom the logic of doing it. It would be like a Reform government communicating entirely through the Guardian comments section." 👏 @samfr.bsky.social

Good to see the BBC covering some of this: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An Ed Davey quote which reads: I know Labour MPs are relieved that they are finally allowed to say the Conservatives’ Brexit deal is a disaster. But that can’t just be a political ruse to attack Nigel Farage – however much he deserves it. Or even worse – given we still have the highest inflation in the G7 – it mustn’t be a smokescreen to raise taxes on ordinary people. It must be a call to action. 
We must negotiate a new UK-EU customs union.

If Labour agree that the Tories' botched Brexit deal is hurting our country, they should stop complaining and start fixing it.

Starting with a new UK-EU customs union.

Key for this success is perhaps air to air heat pumps. Should that be the focus in thE UK replacing wet radiators with warm air?

Wow. The new Great British Railways clock is ugly. Couldn't we use the Swiss railway timeless clock design.

In one crisp para — & the 2 charts he highlights — @chrisgiles.ft.com bursts a huge number of “welfare” myths www.ft.com/content/ee67...

Thousands of miles of disused railways, canal towpaths, and green spaces lie blocked off or forgotten across the UK.
