Yawn….been a long day, but the snacks at Tilbury were superb as usual. Enough done for today, so a quick dose of caffeine for me and a recharge for the car at Clacket before battling the traffic chaos home👍

🤣🤣🤣👍

His opportunism is bad enough. But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school. Things he has NEVER apologised for.

Close one for one of my club mates today…having a deer skim his face after it landed in the road in front of him, then launched itself over the hedge on the other side🦌🫣

RCC Christmas Lunch Club Run today🎅🏻Joined the steady group to avoid overcooking myself, which worked well. Great to get a decent ride in again with club mates, and an excellent lunch at The Rising Sun at Witheridge Hill. Most enjoyable, and leg held up well with strength returning👍

Basingstoke shenanigans👍

Boik 2😋😆

Boik😋

Just about fits🎄😆👍

Procurement of the Christmas trees occurred this morning🎄🎄👍

New Statesman reporting Reform politicians are avoiding head to head debates with me. Their lies come crumbling down when confronted with the truth. Let's keep building the movement to take on Reform: Join.greenparty.org.uk

😮😂

My friend's son was hit by a car whilst cycling yesterday outside Swindon. He is seriously injured. The car sped off and the police are looking for witnesses, particularly those with dashcams. Please do share the article below if you're local to that area:

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times. So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

Brexit was in Russia's interests. Not Britain's.

Elves are hungry….

Wife’s talking about cleaning out some old toys….this favourite one’s being stashed into hiding🤣

Trapped…send help😆

Zia Yusuf - the unelected multimillionaire policy chief of Reform - makes his fourth Question Time appearance tonight. The party has five MPs

Elf’s frightened himself💩😆

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Shenanigans occurring👀😆

Back to the cycle commute today….leg was fine with gentle effort. Heard a rider following me go over the bonnet of a right turning car, which was a bit unfortunate🤦🏻‍♂️ He was ok. Coffee was procured before work commenced☕️👍

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

The state of it😆

Oh😂

Daughter’s been baking again…burp😋👍

Well worth a watch…it’s excellent👍 youtu.be/M2IhljWdiDU?...

New Cycliq Fly12 fitted and calibrated👍 Allowing for a bit of tolerance, anyone driving a vehicle closer than the bottom right corner when passing might get a letter in the post👍

Well, what a surprise🤷🏻‍♂️ Glad I ditched the absolute skip fire!

German naval commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck was commander of U-852 and was tried, convicted, and executed (along with 2 others deemed responsible) after the war because on March 13, 1944 he ordered his crew to shoot at survivors who were clinging to rafts and wreckage of the… 🧵 1/9 #USpol

Takes a few seconds and this is definitely needed so please do your bit. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Ride on the inside this afternoon, followed by a time out session at the local spa, which was postponed from when I was broken in January😬 Broken fibula is working fine on bike, because the tibia takes the low impact load🤓 It also seemed to like to steaming and baking session😆👍

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

I’ve ridden a few like that in the winter🚴🥶 Lost my big toe nails from frost bite a couple of years ago…luckily, they’ve grown back since👍

“I would never ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way” Nigel Farage responds to allegations of racist behaviour from when he was a teenager at school @itvnewspolitics.bsky.social

A movie that takes place where you are from: (A couple of miles down the road and over the river)

Short and steady session on the indoor trainer….leg seems to still work👍

First mince pie of the year….gone😋

I’ve been given responsibility to look after the auction stall at the local school’s Christmas Fayre😬

Gotta keep me boot clean😆

Ohhh…..Broken😬🤦🏻‍♂️

Since when did the size of Twix reduce by 50%…? Had to buy two to sustain my appointment waiting endurance😋😆👍

Looking at some illustrations whilst awaiting a proper inspection😬

I wonder how the BBC will report this one, then🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Starting to wonder if I should head to A&E. Nearly a week since I injured my ankle, and this evening it’s swelled up and has a sharp discomfort when I prod the bottom of the fibula😬

Oh🤦🏻‍♂️

Visit to a decommissioning project in Avonmouth today…sunny skies, but f’kin Baltic🥶
