'Parisian car traffic fell by more than half between 2002 and 2023, while cycle lanes expanded sixfold. Bikes now make more than twice as many journeys as cars. Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 years, exulted: "The bike beat the car".'

Oh those crazy greenies. Well, it turns out that solar and wind need not pass the Hormuz strait. Strategic autonomy in action. The most self-destructive thing Europe could do now is abandon the green transition. And that’s only on geopolitical grounds.

Spending my afternoon off watching a matinee on Talking Pictures TV - very enjoyable, apart from the constant stream of adverts for funeral plans and cremations. Makes you worry you won’t see the end of the film.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

You can’t defeat the far right by giving them what they claim to want, bc that isn’t what they really want. What they really want- as they occasionally make clear- is racial purity. That’s why measures aimed at reducing migration are not only cruel & self-harming but pointless on their own terms
