Horrific reality: @greenparty.org.uk has long been calling for ALL arms exports to Israel to be stopped. #HumanRights #RuleofLaw www.channel4.com/news/factche...

Imagine if she said "Schooling should be based on the principle of contribution". It's easy to see how the objections to that translate into objection to her welfare remarks. See also: "The prison system should be based on contribution." "Use of the road system should be based on contribution."

Since privatization, shareholders of water, rail, bus, energy and mail have received £200bn in dividends. Plus £bns more through intrgragroup transactions. In public ownership this would have gone into infrastructure and lower bills, alleviated poverty. Govts still don't curb profiteering.

Today was one of my favourite lectures, on how evidence influences debates. Case A: 79 people died as a consequence of smart motorways (2010-2024). That's sufficient to pause the policy. Case B: In the first year of the Welsh 20mph scheme 900 fewer people were injured. There's still contestation.

The two tests of cycling infrastructure should be 1 - would this be okay for a 12 year old child on their own? AND 2 - would this be okay for lone woman at night? If the answer to either of these is NO then it's not adequate.

Arrested/not arrested:

UK inflation is caused by profiteering Since the pandemic electricity generation companies hiked profit margins by 198%. Electricity/Gas supply margins up 363%. Shipping up by 650 times. Health and social work up by 118%. People impoverished. Can't rebuild economy without ending profiteering.

If an NCN route fails the “rideable by an 8yr old” test it should be removed from the network. The reason it isn’t? Because frankly there would be not much of the network left.

Perhaps they should get bikes ? roadswerenotbuiltforcars.com/hitler/

Title for this Labour conference session is quite startling. Labour has lurched rightwards in an apparent attempt to stave off Reform. That approach has unsurprisingly failed. Now they want to stop a "rising Green tide" as if it's not OK to want progressive politics or to save planet. The way...

This.

Digital ID will have no effect on illegal working, employers already have to get a National Insurance number and make sure you're registered to pay tax. There is already an unlimited fine and upto 5 years in jail for not doing. They simply won't use Digital ID either.

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app. It’s hidden under Welsh news. Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times. Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼‍♀️ 13/14

Within the first year of my daughter’s life, the Lionesses have won the Euros and the Red Roses have won the World Cup in front of sell-out crowds and huge tv audiences and it’s so wonderful to know she will grow up thinking that of course women play sport and of course everybody watches it

Congratulations to the Red Roses on becoming Women’s Rugby World Cup champions. An incredible achievement and a proud moment for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

If you want to rage about cyclists on the pavement, have a look at the data, then realise the single biggest threat to pedestrians is from drivers.

All credit to the journalists from the @chroniclelive.co.uk for managing to simultaneously frame this as somehow being the metro's fault while not making any mention of a driver whatsoever. Self driving cars, ignoring the flashing lights and sirens and hitting the Metro train. #AbsentDriver

Well this is seven shades of bullshit. I can use the fixmystreet app to report potholes and all sorts of other issues. I can also do it anonymously if I want to. We do not need compulsory ID cards. It is just an authoritarian power and data grab. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

London exclusive: Competition between big money e-bike operators has hit the point where Hackney residents will now get flat fare £1.75 journeys within the borough, with Lime and Voi winning a contract that predicts *up to £93m* in revenue from one borough. www.londoncentric.media/p/lime-bike-...

Hello. Can you site some docks here in Tufnell Park so we can give them a try?

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza? Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards". This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

Only 16% of people understand key Highway Code rules designed to keep everyone safe. TfL have a new campaign aims to raise awareness of the Highway Code, highlighting key rules designed to protect people walking, cycling & motorcycling.

Our CEO told @standard.co.uk.web.brid.gy "The mass shift to dockless hire bikes during strikes demonstrated the power of cycling to move people around our city safely, incredible convenience of dockless hire & huge untapped potential as a safe, healthy transport mode that remains unfulfilled... 2/4

What do the miserable proles like these days? Potholes, sir. Add potholes to the press release.

Transport Committee looking at walking this morning and my journey in showed exactly why we need to pay more attention to the safety and convenience of people walking and wheeling along pavements.

Is it time for a British ship to be sent to aid the Flotilla and protect the British citizens on board? RT if is.

When I attended the Downham Road drop in consultation a Hackney Council officer ranted against cycle lanes with lots of Vincent Stops inspired nonsense about danger to pedestrians, etc, then pointed out the window to Whitmore Road calling it "a great Hackney cycle lane". Utterly clueless.

Mandatory car helmets now! ;)

It’s been 421 days since Birmingham City Council declared a road safety emergency.

Having to follow laws meant to keep people, including kids and families, FROM BEING KILLED, feels like “bullying” to some people who frequently and blatantly break those laws. Guess what I think of that.

And what about those who want to cycle along Essex Rd itself. Any plans for cycle tracks here? Why are other parts of London getting cycle tracks on A-roads but we're left with zig-zagging routes through "quiet neighbourhoods"?

So 1500 ppl killed on the roads annually which on average includes 1 person killed by a cyclist but this requires new legislation? Really? road.cc/content/news...

I am not shy to say when I disagree with Sadiq Khan. But I also think it's important to say out loud when other politicians get it right. This is exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say. Thank you Sadiq.

Basic principles for the future of the car in cities: ✅ Fewer ✅ Smaller ✅ Slower ✅ Cleaner This can be achieved with: ✅ Parking controls ✅ LTNs ✅ Road User Pricing ✅ Pedestrianisation ✅ Default 20mph roads ✅ Improved public transport ✅ Segregated cycling

As @bylinetimes.bsky.social documented: bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Today I had to cross Commercial St with my kids with no pedestrian crossing. Presumably this is impossible for a blind person. Can someone point me to where Vincent Stops and NFBUK have staged a video of the struggle here? Or given any indication they care at all when it’s nothing to do with bikes?

If Starmer doesn’t call out Trump for his attacks against our London mayor then he should step down and let someone with some integrity take over

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

UK set for highest inflation in G7, OECD says. Real average wage hardly moved since 2008. Profiteering is the main cause. Start with controlling price of energy, water, rents. Even better nationalize energy and water, build social housing.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Exceptional hardship needs to be chucked in the bin. Punishment is supposed to be a hardship and if you get enough points for a ban then your driving is atrocious and you haven't learnt a thing. This driver could well end up killing as he won't have learnt a lesson.

More than 800 deaths in Scotland linked to long A&E waits

All transfers of funds have an electronic footprint. Every penny issued in Covid loans is traceable. Maybe DWP assessors could be seconded to apply the same zeal they use to hound benefit claimants to tracking down fraudulent Covid payments?
