Responding to the Facebook meme... "What were you like in the 1990s, Dad?" I was a spotty teenage kid who didn't know anything at all about the world and couldn't be helped. There! Are you happy now???

“Changing a city is complicated, because even the most progressive people don’t want to alter their habits. To succeed, you have to have a strategy, be determined and, yes, accept being unpopular.” Bravo, @annehidalgo.bsky.social 👏 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

If she believes what she’s saying then she’s in the wrong party. If she’s thinking people are going to vote Labour because she at least still has some principles, she’s desperately wrong and taking the public for mugs. Labour are rightly hated now, and I’m looking forward to their wipeout in May. 🥾

GWR is planning to introduce direct Oxford–Bristol trains this May, running every two hours Mon-Sat, if Network Rail approves. New documents submitted to the rail regulator say that the Government is backing the service, and that it is targeting the timetable change date in May.

Gladiators ended this weekend and I am informed Race Across The World begins on Thursday. It's like the BBC folks have scheduled things for people like me who don't really like TV and can only watch one (weekly) show at a time. Ta Beeb. P.S. Please make your politics journalism less rubbish.

Gosh. A franchised Bus Service delivering services that people both need and want. Can't wait for this to happen in the West of England Combined Authority area. Might have to wait while though, because it's not in the Mayors Transport Vision.

World Meteorological Organisation issues its annual reminder that the climate crisis isn't getting better 2025 was the 3rd hottest year on record They also warn that an El Nino ocean warming in the Pacific could push global temperature to record high in 2027 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Checks notes. We will be doing our own trial in Bristol Soon!

Really deplorable behaviour from the people in this action. I hope Helen Godwin is OK. The same campaign group are targeting councillor surgeries, but these have so far been far more conciliatory and useful standard lobbying tactics. www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/mayors-...

Gov comms confirms its not in Bristol.. "Brabazon and the West Innovation Arc, South Gloucestershire — up to 40,000 homes at the heart of a world-class research and advanced engineering economy" www.gov.uk/government/n...

Yes, I am disappointed in myself for not knowing his politics too! Sorry to everyone.

I stopped following him when I found out he had repulsive views on immigration 😔 www.reddit.com/r/GeoWizard/...

Turns out he's not so great. See comments underneath for why!

He's just so great youtube.com/watch?v=NEq5...

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. [1/2]

Just to point out to all you oddballs out there who don't respect meteorological authority that it is still winter for another 28 and a half hours. Honestly!

570 workplaces in Bristol have been engaged with a workplace parking levy survey. From two rounds of surveying (including doorknocking the second time), just 122 businesses engaged with the survey. I really hope that those 448 businesses don't turn up later and say they haven't been consulted...

He was also directly responsible for a lot of people dying through his actions. But let's not talk about that.

There's just something fantastic about Newcastle v Barcelona as a fixture. It's like the absolute dichotomy of football and yet often Newcastle (the underdog) does better than expected.

Good. I don't think under-16s should be banned from social media. I think they should not have access to smartphones in schools. I think parents also need to step up and actively listen to young people in their care about what they experience online so they have the first clue what is going on.

Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history. THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.

It's time to tackle the cycling #GenderGap ♀️ On #InternationalWomensDay we want to raise awareness of the barriers that stop women getting on bikes. Our upcoming #WalkingCyclingIndex for Scotland reveals the number of women cycling in our cities is still half that of men 🚴‍♀️

🚗 💨 Pollution alert! Walk, cycle, catch the bus, tube or overground and avoid driving if you possibly can! This will help people with asthma or other lung and heart conditions to get on with their days safely.

My son’s class were drawing Keir Starmer yesterday and the photos on Dojo are HILARIOUS. I kid you not - they ALL drew him with a square head. Wish I could share the others, but here’s my son’s depiction of our robot overlord.

Here's a video from the leaders of the Core Cities about anti-racism. It's good to watch if only to find out who the leaders of the Core Cities are and what they look and sound like! www.youtube.com/watch?v=adNd...

This is really good stuff. It's a shame that it's coming from a discredited government on so many othrt issues and, of course, you cannot truly call a Bill "Representation of the People" if you aren't legislating for the one single thing that would improve that most: proportional representation.

Yes. I was at the game tonight. It obviously wasn't all the fans or anything like that. But it was loud, there were several thousand and they knew why they were doing it. Embarrassing. And determined that these people won't own football or my football club.

“The Prime Minister has jumped into yet another Middle East illegal war failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya, and Syria.” Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social quoted by Joe Pike on BBC News at 10 - after Farage, admittedly, but no mention of Tories or Libdems ✊🏾

So if I’ve understood correctly, we’re going to carry on supporting illegal wars whilst also blaming people who flee the ensuing chaos and destruction

Compare and contrast Starmer calling Green's "extremists", "divisive" and "sectarian" with Mahmood repeating false Reform claims about "legitimate concerns" and "strain on public services". It isn't a choice between Reform and Labour when end result is the same. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Dispiriting. Still a long way to go. Boos heard during Ramadan pause at Elland Road - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

✅ As my colleague @tobywells.bsky.social points out, "franchising is such a good idea that it was universally supported by all parties" in the mayoral elections. ❌ But now she is in power, Labour's mayor is dragging her feet. 🚌 We need better buses, not more Labour delays and broken promises.

It's not that controversial when you read it and understand it... Controversial way the Greens are tackling Bristol's housing crisis www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

Positioning himself for leader bit doubt he will ever be it. The Labour party isn't for leftwingers.

Ugh. English rugby union to become like US sports. Promotion and relegation give lesser sides agony and glory. That's what sport is about. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

We are not an island of strangers.

Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard on the Gorton and Denton campaign. Reform tried to smear our candidate, Laboured tried to smear our policies, but in the end the people saw through it. Link to our newest MP Hannah Spencer’s words. youtu.be/ZYg4bN8G0II?...
