UNLAWFUL ARREST

This woman was arrested for holding a sign with “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group.

If I'm reading the data correctly it suggests 5% of reform voters think yes they are racist (and proud presumably).

And 20% of that group seem to think the party and policies are not racist enough.

Is that fair @yougov.co.uk (not checked the sample size, maybe just a couple of cranks)

I'm pleased to have been appointed @libdems.org.uk Transport Spokesperson.

Transport should be an enabler of a thriving economy, social mobility, and preventing climate change, and I will campaign for affordable and reliable public transport, walking and cycling, and roads that work for all.

🚲 Big win for Abingdon! £1.5m secured to fix the missing NCN5 link + boost walking & cycling

Plans include a new two-way contraflow on East St Helen St, Dutch entrance kerbs, continuous footways + better crossings

Thanks Nathan, really looking forward to this, and will make a big difference for the Europa bike bus too 🎉

Read the report - Passengers not profit: a vision for the Railways Bill The government's upcoming Railways Bill should include these reforms if it is serious about delivering for passengers.

The government is bringing rail into public ownership after 30 years of failed privatisation

To make this succeed they must

🚄set up Great British Trains
🚄stop wasteful competition
🚄create a national railcard
🚄give passengers a real say
🚄INVEST like Switzerland does

Interesting, it's definitely got a massive choice at the moment, and always a fan of Big Dave's quiz, but the Sussex Best has been vinegar the last few times I've tried it. Keep having to go to backup lagers for safety.

We need to change everything.

Not this weekend, but Oxford Wood Recycling have a course coming up in a few weeks about making a picture frame. The last one was very good, and they're a nice organisation to support.

I recently spoke in Parliament about the impact of pavement parking—a concern I hear often from constituents with disabilities, sight loss or mobility aids.
It makes everyday journeys harder and more dangerous. Councils need proper powers to act.
Everyone deserves safe, accessible streets

Hopefully @laylamoran.bsky.social will take a look at my email 🙂🚂🚂🚂

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold.

“We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

This decision is so ridiculous the Witney Gazette will find it hard to parody...

Totally, now I just need to find a bit more space on my frame for another gizmo... 🤖🚲🤖

Cross-party MPs publish ‘ready to go’ blueprint for electoral reform commission - Politics.co.uk A group of cross-party MPs have set out a “ready to go” blueprint for an independent review of the UK’s first past the post (FPTP) electoral system.

As part of the APPG on Fair Votes, I am pleased to see our cross party proposal for an independent review of the UK’s out-dated first-past-the-post electoral system published.

I challenged the Foreign Secretary to sanction Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sadly he declined to answer

Given the massive costs of infra, I often wonder if there's an argument to create a cheap right of way with a cleared dirt/gravel path for rural routes just so there is something on a reasonable timescale. Is that silly? Perhaps costs are more in the mobilisation and admin, and surface is moot?

That's grim, @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social please join Layla Moran and sign the EDM 🙂 bsky.app/profile/oxfo...

Just seen the OM headline in question 😡 the Clarion can't put them out of business soon enough.

I thought your post was well written FWIW. I'm sure it'll blow over soon and the trolls will move on.

I have signed, anything to avoid another Westgate scenario is sensible (quarter of the Westgate in this case).

Streeting’s bid to get Britain off the couch and save NHS £10bn Health Secretary’s Get Britain Moving campaign could be undermined by difficulty to walk in some areas

It's disappointing that the government's plan to get people moving is focused around "Go for a jog" rather than, as the evidence suggests, building environments that encourage everyday incidental exercise: the ability to walk to amenities

🚨 NEW: Cross-party MPs publish ‘ready to go’ blueprint for electoral reform commission

— FPTP “threatens to undermine the resilience and stability of our democratic system”, @appgfairelections.bsky.social MPs say
— The group is calling on ministers to greenlight its plan

Exclusive story 👇

This bsky.app/profile/posh... seems to be able to add labels to people, I'm not sure how they work but perhaps a private version of something similar could do the job

I noticed @laylamoran.bsky.social has signed but @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social has not yet.

Is there a deadline on this EDM? I'm not sure how they work...

I think I saw Ian cycling back today, good to see he's still on his bike despite the change in commute 😀 (with @greenpartyemma.bsky.social not far behind, lots of cycling celebrities on my ride today)
