Sorry, make that 5 out 6: Money IN (wrong) and Gibbs-White OUT (wrong). Only right call so far is Watkins!

3 out of 3 errors from Tuchel already IMO: Palmer, Foden AND Maguire not going?!

If Rachel Reeves proposed a permanent offer of free bus travel for Children instead of a Fuel Duty Freeze, this would reduce congestion and pollution, save parents time on the school run, and make public transport more effective. www.theguardian.com/business/202... Instead, we will get the opposite.

Sorry to say I disagree. Offering voting options built on hope not just fear of what's worse *is* putting country before party. We tried the latter for decades and all it does is elevate the constantly deteriorating status quo and paints it as the most optimistic option.

Are you really still believing Labour promises? We are not here to rescue or enable the Labour Party

Three words: Richmond on Thames.

If 80+ Labour MPs think Wes "Anti-Trans Pro-NHS Privatisation" Streeting is any kind of answer to their problems, they are further gone than I thought.

The Greens-led Bristol City Council has just received a glowing review from the Local Authorities Association, so the "checkmate everybody else" point may not always stand the test of times ... news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

Bristol’s next Lord Mayor and Green councillor, Yassin, came to Bristol 20 years ago to join his family. He has worked in various public sector roles, including for Bristol City Council. 💚 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some local election news from the UK

You have spoken. You were yearning for a string of vacuous cliches. And we have heard you

"Opinion" haha

Impressed by the number of bikes and bike lanes in Bristol. The city could have said, look, we are made entirely of hills, biking is madness, maybe we could have a funicular or something. Instead they said no, we are strong, we can do it, we will have the finest quads in all the kingdom 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴

'Having a Green in the room makes a difference' Greens build social housing, stand up to developers and push for affordable homes. Vote Green this Thursday. 🗳️✅

Protesters slammed over EBLN as locals say 'get on with the changes' www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/news-op...

I cycle through there regularly and despite the constant chaos on the three boundary roads, the inner streets are quiet and peaceful - something the residents surely value and appreciate. Why would anyone not want something similar? @tristancorkpost.bsky.social @robbryher.bsky.social @kazself.com

Anyone opposing this scheme needs to only look at Southmead. I do not know when it was implemented (or under what name) but all traffic is restricted to Greystoke Ave, Penpark Rd and Southmead Rd and various blockers/modal filters leave every street within those boundaries untouched by rat racers.

First passenger train up the Portishead line! WECA / Metrowest have hired a Pacer for the day to tour their proposed Network. Seen here between Ashton Gate Platform and Clifton Bridge.

Why do people think cooked carrots are better than raw carrots? It boggles my mind how popular the first are in comparison to the second.

Worth a look if you've seen horror stories spread about Bristol's council. Been two years now and it's basically... fine. Bins fine, housing stuff improved, a sense that they're working v hard to find ways to preserve services in the face of central government indifference. Not exactly a nightmare

I can recommend being a Leicester City supporter if you like rollercoasters.

One of the downsides of living in Wales is I can't get involved in this @livingstreets.bsky.social campaign to address pavement parking. But for those of you in England, perhaps take a look? act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/189938/...

It's happening! 📢 On Tuesday, MPs will consider an amendment to enable local leaders to ban pavement parking in their area. We need you to help us get this amendment on to the Bill. Ask your MP to agree to Amendment 265 when it's considered on Tuesday: https://bitly.livingstreets.org.uk/4tMU2Uq

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.

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-...

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...
