The Standard claims Boris Johnson could run to be US President because (according to the Standard) he is 'a natural-born US citizen' www.standard.co.uk/news/us-poli... He is not a US citizen b/c he renounced citizenship. I suspect the Standard is therefore wrong.

It's good that Rivian is pushing electric vehicles, but that SUV is a dangerous monster www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is good - new electricity storage projects planned www.theguardian.com/environment/... including hydro-electric, compressed air, and different types of battery.

Farage didn't get £5 million from a long-lost great uncle. The money came from the main funder of Reform. The idea that it is anything other than a political donation is not credible www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Making anti-cycling campaigner Wes Streeting Chancellor would be a massive own goal for Burnham before he has even started.

People are still underestimating how much the prospects of LNG growth in Asia are totally busted. Even setting aside the Hormuz factor, the economics are just brutal: 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Government have tried to bury some bad news - for Rachel Reeves anyway - today as *their own* cost-benefit assessment of Heathrow expansion plan finds it would LOSE between £21 to £121 billion! A climate catastrophic boondoggle clutched for by a chancellor with no real ideas for ‘delivering growth’

What a depressing read - Jaguar Land Rover failing to do the right thing www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A commitment in CWIS 3 is delivering an HS2 active travel legacy – an uninterrupted active travel route between London and Birmingham, away from traffic and connecting to towns and villages along the route hedgehogcycling.co.uk/wp/2026/06/1.... Good, but what about the north of England?

The fact that drivers may freely menace other road users is one of the most astonishing but least contested aspects of modern life.

I shall watch this with interest. There's no way to get 60% of kids actively travelling to school without disrupting current patterns of car-based mobility. This includes making all urban streets safer, not just those right outside schools www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Give Cyclists Space sign spotted in Lancaster. Not sure how effective it would be in this location.

Young White-tailed Eagle 'disappears' from grouse shooting estate in North York Moors National Park. Police think its disappearance is 'suspicious'. No shit. #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/06/01/y...

0-100kmh in 2.5s www.theguardian.com/business/202... Is that definitely safe for use on high streets where there are people who are not in cars?

It's a daft thing to say.

York Central (by the National Railway Museum) is getting very good walking & cycling facilities.

We were back in Leeds last week and the Headingley cycleway is finished. Works really well, and another step in building a network for cycling in north Leeds. There's good separation (even if it's narrow) and no motor vehicle stopping should reduce parking on the cycleway 1/8

Wales could spend £2.5bn of its annual £3bn capital budget (83% of it) to build a Newport "relief road" that would massively increase carbon emissions and induce traffic www.theguardian.com/business/202... It can't happen.

The BBC is blowing in the wind here, telling us that climate change is not fashionable this week www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... They've also downgraded climate and science in their website menu, so they're in the hamburger you have to click on. It's a terrible failure for a public broadcaster.

This has the potential to bring Farage down. £5 million is a memorable number, and the idea that the crypto guy wants nothing in return is laughable.

Here's one to note: the nation's "biggest fuel protest in two decades" attracted almost no protestors. I'm now waiting for this to be taken by government as clear evidence that driving is too expensive and needs more subsidies www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Good correction of the arguments of @nilspratley.bsky.social here, who repeatedly makes it clear that he understands money but not the urgency of stopping global heating www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Terrible take on electric charging gullies, which cause problems for people with disabilities who just want to use pavements.

Interesting active travel infrastructure in Chalon-sur-Saône.

@helenrumbelow.bsky.social this really is a disgraceful take on a serious topic bsky.app/profile/carl... You should think again and apologise, primarily to every family bereaved due to dangerous driving.

It is incredibly unhelpful for Jurgen Maier and Greg Jackson to be pro-fossil fuels, however caveated their support www.theguardian.com/environment/... Jackson tries to present himself as a realist, but he is not being realistic about the urgency of cutting emissions.
