"The best type of e-bike for replacing car trips is the cargo bike. Sturdy, capable, and often able to haul lots of cargo or even multiple humans, electric cargo bikes are rewiring cities to adapt their infrastructure for more human-centric transportation."

Tommy Robinson is a journalist in much the same way that a hamster is a bicycle.

Even by the standards of the Are Country lot, this is.. well, look at it.

Easy to say when you're loaded and not being taxed anywhere near enough. #BrexitShambles www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

#Edinburgh isn’t actually that great to cycle in - many people cycle despite, not because of, the infrastructure and facilities. So much pent-up demand across the city.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

USA in the last 7 days: a quick summary.

As the first person is returned to France under the Labour government's returns deal, we already have seen infinitely more people returned under this deal than we ever saw forcibley sent to Rwanda under the Tories deal. And even better, someone is now able to apply for the right to come to the UK.

Let’s remind ourselves just how much councils subsidise motorists …

I was at the Dentist today. Dentist is from Greece and the Dental Nurse is from Nigeria. Lovely caring people supporting our NHS Dental services. #immigration is a huge positive to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and we need to shout this loudly to combat the extreme right wing propoganda seen across the UK.

200 years ago today, the first steam locomotive to be deployed onto a public railway anywhere in the world was first placed on the rails along which (11 days later) it would commence running. We can debate whether the S&D was the first or last of its kind, but it's an anniversary worth noting.

To tax the rich or not to tax the rich? Is it worth it @premnsikka.bsky.social ? on.ft.com/46jEEF2 The problem with taxing the rich

Amazing number of people on bikes in London now. This isn’t the Embankment cycleway it’s the unprotected crossing of Clerkenwell Road.

Labour Party spokesperson on Danny Kruger MP’s defection to Reform UK: "Every Conservative who defects to Reform ties Nigel Farage more closely to their record of failure. Nigel Farage can recruit as many failed Tories as he likes – it won’t change the fact that he has no plan for Britain."

The Prime Minister is hoping that a state visit from a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein will dial down the furore surrounding the Prime Minister’s decision to promote a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s probably the best chance he’s got.

The new dry garden on the Albert roundabout in Colchester is looking fantastic in its first summer/autumn. It was designed by Beth Chatto gardens and should survive summer droughts.

Neat letter in The Times on #wokethinking.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Gawd @channel4tv.bsky.social. That whiny American woman’s voice on the “C4 documentaries sponsored by the Ford Ranger Plug-in hybrid” is really getting on my nerves. Can’t Ford get a British voice? Even a Geordie would be better!

Wait, we were told that the tariffs were bringing in trillions of zillions of dollars. Could that, possibly, have been a lie?

In the UK, there are about 22 firearm homicides per year. In the USA there's an average of 50 every single day.

The IEA is now predicting oil demand will be lower next year than this year. "Meanwhile, global demand is forecast to grow by 737,000 barrels a day this year... Next year, demand growth is projected at 698,000 barrels a day" Subtle but also a very big deal. Structural change in oil markets.

If car commercials were honest, they'd look like this.

Our Chair, coordinator of the Irish campaign to boycott Eurovision @zazafl.bsky.social was on Lunchtime Live today (from 4.29) on the welcome news that RTÉ will not take part in Eurovision if apartheid Israel is in the contest.

If you never see people biking in your city, it's not because people don't want to, it's because they don't feel safe doing so. Build the protected, connected infrastructure and watch your city streets come alive with all ages and abilities.

Notice to all politicians: this is why LTNs are essential.

Charlie Kirk lived by the Second Amendment and died by the Second amendment. "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

Charlie Kirk has been shot. #charliekirk

If prayer was going to help #charliekirk, then surely Jesus would have deflected the bullet.

Next year (2026) will be #Constable250 – 250 years since the artists #JohnConstable was born. This is Flatford Mill on the Essex-Suffolk border where the Constable family lived.

Peaceful protest is not terrorism. It is a fundamental part of civic life, a way for ordinary people to hold power to account when other avenues are closed. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Not a single river in England is in good overall health. And it is not just sewage that is the problem. Road runoff is a huge issue and needs to be prioritised by National Highways. Write to your MP today and urge them to take action on this important issue actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

@carltonreid.com There may be a story in this for you.

The basis on which Farage tells RTE that there will be no problem changing GFA to remove ECHR reference is, unsurprisingly, spurious. Human Rights safeguards were a feature of the 1990s negotiations from the outset, they weren't a last minute thought: share.google/sh5iziocla5L...

The Chancellor sets out her priorities, saying "Britain's economy isn't broken, but I do know that it's not working well enough for working people" Another good video from her, this time talking directly to the British people.

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history. And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

It will be interesting to see whose name is on the deeds.

Like I've said: they want a confrontation. They want a mass casualty event. They want gunfire in the streets. Then DJT can declare martial law and suspend all elections indefinitely.

Rayner resigned. Your move Farage.
