Here is some information we have found with @wearequeeraf.com when going through the Levy Review

Remember when HS2 to Leeds was cancelled by the NIC's shitty maths and fundamental lack of expertise, and Leeds was thrown the bone of "you'll get trams" and I said those would never be delivered? Yeah, as I was saying...

Happy #InternationalHumanRightsDay. We have our work cut out for us... #IHRD #HRD

🚄 "Every further delay from this Labour Government sends the message that Bradford is still an afterthought." Cllr @greenmattbfd.bsky.social on Northern Powerhouse Rail for #Bradford. Read ⬇️

Very few St George’s flags around, not even rain soaked and miserable-looking. However, in Manchester earlier today a Che Guevara flag was flying.

What, you thought they'd stop at trans people?

We need to stop caving to awful people and we need a government who aren’t part of the problem but actually do the moral leadership thing

This is brutal. A decade of inaction.

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

What a dream! What a brilliant day! Got to work 810s on their first day in traffic with 1C59: 1400 Sheffield to St Pancras being worked by 810010 The reaction to these trains have been really positive and everyone was really enjoying themselves, both crew and passenger 😊 What... a... day!

"ultimately the WI is a women's organisation" "We could have waited for the EHRC guidance, but I think society needs organisations such as my own to lead," I was willing to give the WI the benefit of the doubt, but these comments are unreasonably cruel. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Stop driving into town, you plums.

Can you lovely lot song and share this around please @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.change.org/p/allow-tran...

It’s also what happened with Virgin gyms. Everywhere targeted caves when the date on the letter before action gets too close

still waiting for intelligent longform cultural criticism with psychomarxist explanation of the "everything is butthole" logorrhea in the AI space

I met a Real Estate developer from Hong Kong at a party in London at the weekend, and was fascinated to learn they’re using AI to go back thru hours of recorded planning meetings to analyse each councillor for the councils they’re investing in. Am fun at parties, obvs.

Why is it getting harder to buy Advent calendars? Their days are numbered!

Are the Labour Government finally going to bring in rent controls? I seem to be living rent free in their heads! (Thanks for the shout out!) Join.greenparty.org.uk

Welcome to my “week off work achievements thread” 1: hunted around in the garage for ages, found this, and bled the radiators ✅

Shame on this government. Is this the change Britain wanted? I doubt it. SHAME. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

If you're a Not Disabled person and you're setting up a room for a meeting, what do you wish you had as guidance to include disabled people? A fold out paper "wheelchair space guide" for ex. What actual, practical stuff would you want? What kinds of guidance? (Making a pack for local parties)

Ok, that’s impressive!!

Thinking about the friends we have lost… 🕯️🏳️‍⚧️ #TDoR

It’s super-Thursday.

Caught short? I so love all the work @carolinerussell.bsky.social puts in to improving access to toilets in London. More of this everywhere!!

uksnowmap.com looking good this morning! Send your #uksnow reports if it’s snowing where you are!

A headline that would have been unthinkable a few months ago

Wild that the response to this question on pavement obstructions is almost entirely focused on e-scooters and hire bikes (primarily a London problem), rather than the big four-wheeled things which are a national and much greater problem.

"The UK tech minister has said a mathematics ban is on the table." It's the same thing. LITERALLY. (The "AI-powered surveillance" will be some bullshit from a major donor.)

Given that AI is notoriously bad at arithmetic (because large language models are guessing machines) and have a habit of being a bit racist (because they amplify bias in their training data) this seems like such a great idea… www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Asylum Seekers must be given the right to work - to contribute their skills, and their tax! And to be much more safely integrated into our society.

I do not have enough asses to laugh off.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

suspect that anyone on the progressive side of politics who put any stock in the utterly hollow concept of BBC political neutrality is about to find out how bad it can get. You should have listened to trans people.

The Greens (in England and Wales) may be all about crushing Labour right now with our focus on social justice, but we are also fighting traditionally blue areas by doing good work and not being awful people. I was out today in leafy Hale, doing exactly that with @traffordgreenparty.bsky.social

Councillor Emily Kerr and Councillor Saskia Heijltjes have announced that they have asked for their names and faces to be removed from Cycling UK’s publicity. road.cc/content/news...

When you've ended up with the SWP in your ranks they will end up making literally everything about themselves until you dedicate yourselves entirely to getting rid of them

There's even an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT example of a Sparrow Crossing coming. I knew they'd catch on up here eventually.

Hedgerow vs Canal for holding fluffy suicidal escape artist idiots?

Ok so I didn’t end up posting much at all this week. Because I got a cold and was robbed of half my holiday. Never mind.

"Councillors estimate the cost of providing free car parks to be around £10 - £15 [per household per year]: equivalent to a ten per cent increase in council tax." - I find this story interesting mostly because it's rare that the true cost of free parking sees the light of day.

Reflection on on how cycleways materialise mundane pedestrian infrastructure. This is a bus stop on the newish Chorlton cycleway. I've seen so many posts about it on social media. Largely around accessibility concerns. So here's my thoughts: 1/
