Racism. I grew up in Ashfield, Lee Anderson's constituency. 40 years ago everyone was racist and proud, and they don't appear to have changed. I left as soon as I reasonably could and never went back.

🎉 One million routes! The 1,000,000th route was saved on cycle.travel today – this lovely journey along the River Loire. Today also saw May 2026 tick over to be the busiest month on the site yet (4 days still to go!). Fittingly it was on this exact same stretch I snapped this road sign in 2019… 🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️

Oh look, two stories in a single day about people blocking emergency services with their parked cars. Always worth remembering these things for when people clutch their pearls about how bike lanes something something ambulances www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

But I was led to believe that drivers cared deeply about emergency vehicle access. 😮 They're always so hot on it when it comes to opposing bike lanes or pavement parking bans.

Proud to join over 100k other cisgender women in signing the Not in Our Name letter making clear that the rights of trans people and cisgender women are not mutually exclusive, but are instead intrinsically linked. Show your support by joining me. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

I'm ... upadting my Request Stop Map again! As I gather that more changes happened with the May 17th 2026 timetable update. e.g Valley station on the North Wales Coast Line is no longer a request (x) stop. Can anyone else chip in with any other changes? Thanks! geofftech.co.uk/downloads/Re...

Was expecting terrible weather today. Was not expecting to be able to get out in the garden and do any work. Am not physically prepared. Please rain.

Happy Twenty Eight Eggs Day to those who celebrate.

Say what you like about the British press, but I find it reassuring that they spend months ripping apart a Labour PM for properly declaring some glasses and football tickets, then all but ignore someone who wants to be PM when he tries to cover up a £5 million gift.

I think "Acton" is probably in there somewhere...

@poggs.com Is there a particular email you'd like me to use if I want to solicit your opinion on something? (Sorry, don't have Bsky DM enabled)

W.H. Auden, it turns out, truly hated internal combustion engine cars.

Tapping the sign again on election results day.

Local election results are trickling in and we're already seeing the chaotic effects of First Past the Post. In Wandsworth, the Tories are the biggest party and are one seat away from a majority on just 31% of the vote. Meanwhile, Labour got 34% of the vote - and fewer seats.

The disabled-led theatre company Graeae has said access is “a human right”, after producers of Stranger Things: The First Shadow allegedly refused to provide a copy of its script to a deaf ticket holder.

"They just dont have any money.. for any kind of maintenance or repairs.. more than half of headteachers.. are saying they have areas in their school that are just unusable.. the worst affected areas are toilets, classrooms & roofs" The UK is the 6th largest economy in the world

VIDEO! Did you know the Contactless area has expanded again to over 100 stations now? So I took a ride on the most Northern station to Southern station to discuss the Contactless expansion ... youtu.be/AsQPEpNg-Yk

Two-thirds of the British public believe the bishops' bench should end. We work to end the archaic and undemocratic reservation of seats for clerics in our legislature. Find out more👇 www.secularism.org.uk/scrap-bishop...

School drop-off. Thursday: kids out with the traffic wardens, with nice signs asking parents not to park dangerously. Friday: parents parking on the pavement outside school.

Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding. She's a billionaire. She doesn't care about "single mums". www.gingerbread.org.uk/our-work/new...

France just way more organised than Italy. The whole team seems to know the game plan and how to execute it. Italy just seeming to panic in defence. #W6N #FraVIta #FraIta #Rugby

The á is interesting here. Suggests to me that this has been copied and pasted.

Hey @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social, is there a reason containment kerbs aren't used more to protect pedestrians? Are there regulations, or is it likely just to be cost? I'm thinking of places like outside schools.

Surely if I can spend all night riding buses in London, you can spend an hour watching the results...

It won't come as a surprise to many, but good to see The Times pointing out that people actually like less traffic in local neighbourhoods. It concludes that no big change is ever introduced without some initial opposition - so leaders should stick to their guns! www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

in the wake of my latest video, I didn't ask @diamondgeezer.bsky.social to blog about Nightbuses today, but if you're need of ALL THE FACTS and more, then he has comprehensively detailed everything you need to know about N buses today! Go have a read ... diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2026/04/nigh...

This is one amazing documentary. And not *just* because of the guest companions...

New VIDEO! And it's a good one - proper Documentary stuff as I go and ride all 64 'N' Bus Routes in London !! youtu.be/qrOG8LI981I?...

Tapping the sign again today, because Artemis videos.

When there's reason to believe that fraud is being committed, the HMRC response shouldn't be exchanges of correspondence and tax tribunal hearings - it should be dawn raids, and arrests.

New VIDEO! Got to go inside Nunnery Square Depot on the Sheffield Supertram, and go and visit the NEW! tram stop that's opening up soon called "Magna" ... youtu.be/j3J_CpRda0Y

One for Southside nerds: I've spent a pleasant couple of hours marking out the routes of Dixon's colliery waggonways. Red (starting west of Windmillcroft Quay): the waggonway on McArthur's map (1778), with my guesswork as a dashed line.

Driving up the M6 earlier, I realised they've removed all the chevrons between Birmingham and Manchester. Stapeley Water Gardens went a while ago. Before we know it, we'll be using Junction 17 for Crewe. #HMHB

It's my own fault for using ChatGPT as a search tool, but this really made me laugh. "...with an important nuance..." is sublime 🤌
