We've joined @bettertransport.bsky.social and 15 other orgs in calling on the PM to set a national mode shift target, invest in buses, rail and active travel to give people affordable alternatives to driving, and reducing reliance on volatile fuel prices. bettertransport.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Nigel Farage took £50,000 from crypto firms then said he was "not aware" of the industry funding his party bylinetimes.com/2026/05/22/n...

France, we salute you! This should be across France but also standard across the world. The UK could introduce this and it would have a noticeable positive impact on driving deaths and injuries. It would also reduce insurance premiums for those of us who can drive without touching our phone.

One in three children in the UK are living in poverty. Labour’s answer? Cheaper rollercoasters.

There’s a rogue “O” in the book title

Nigel Farage really is a one trick pony. His divisive and inflammatory comments about immigration is all he has. Is it any wonder he won’t want you to know that net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak under the conservatives. LETS MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC KNOW THE REAL FACTS

The Rejoin petition jumped from 70K to 75K yesterday. It needs to hit 100K by June 8th when the petition closes in order to get a debate in Parliament. The 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote is June 23rd.

Ireland should be proud of this fella from the Queen's Head, he's a star #NoPasaran Last week they were ripping masks off small women. Less brave faced with a 6ft Black Irishman who they claim is "the problem with the country" Maybe take a look in the mirror next time you are having a sniff, Ryan

No idea who said this first, but it’s good. #DunningKruger

💥 70,000 signatures! 💥 ...and the petition closes on June 8th. Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful. All hands to the pump! Sign and share, share, share! 👇

Driver shouting "GET A JOB", I guess she's not very bright and doesn't realise that cyclists can cycle and hold down a job.

Sums it up

Coventry isn't the manufacturing centre it once was, nearly all the manufacturing industries left years ago, but there's at least one manufacturer of really fast small trucks 😉

It means nothing to me

When VAT was cut on tampons and ebooks, prices didn’t fall - the suppliers kept the benefit. Unclear why this will be different.

This is a long-shot but I'm desperate. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this noise. Residential area D5. I can't locate the source. It's coming from another house somewhere in the area. All day & all night. Varies in intensity. Wakes me up at night. Utterly maddening. 😡

The tide is turning – if not against Palantir entirely, then against the presumption that there’s no alternative to them. The British people are saying no, and it’s working. Say no to Palantir in the NHS here: https://goodlaw.social/48yr

The footage of that day still exists. The testimony of officers still exists. What has changed is not the historical record but the willingness to look at it honestly. #CivilWarMemory open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

Right outside a primary school 😬 Close to the time pupils arrive When are we getting proper school streets, with no access to vehicles? www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

“The solar and wind energy are intermittent and unreliable!” Me: The Strait of Hormuz hasnt Hormuz’ed for 79 straight days and the world is about to hemorrhage because of it. You’ll be praying for solar panels or a rooftop wind turbine shortly.

This isn't the good news many may think. A lot of these migrants would normally do lower paid and serviced jobs that the British turn their noses up at. Care home workers, hospitality staff etc. there's going to be shortages. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It's understandable that few people cycle in north Birmingham when cyclists face drivers who don't understand they should give way to on-coming traffic when there's parked cars in their lane, and then shout obscenities at the person following the Highway Code. How do we stop this?

Israeli security minister stirs diplomatic outrage with flotilla activist abuse video

🔴 NEW: Morgan McSweeney - Keir Starmer's chief of staff until three months ago, and reportedly back advising him - was briefed on Labour Together's controversial investigation into journalists more than two years ago Scoop on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-m...

Stunned, appalled, shocked etc to see actual tax reform from a politician. This from Wes Streeting today. A thread on why capital gains tax is broken. It's too low AND too high. & why this is a good proposal.

Labour lost almost four times as many voters to the Greens as they did to Reform UK in the local elections, according to new YouGov polling

So obviously Burnham needs to copy Farage/Mahmood

Legacy of Tory austerity. Unfair dismissal claims face five-year delay as tribunal backlog grows. Tories gutted public institutions to hand tax cuts to corporations/rich. A case struck out because the judge has said it's no longer possible to have a fair trial. Justice delayed is justice denied.

This is a damning indictment of the abject failure of UK media. Damning report says most voters don't know truth about Nigel Farage's claims www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

If a grifter suddenly seems to be “switching sides,” they’re likely just looking for new marks. If you’re buying it, that new mark is you.

Easing sanctions on Russia is a betrayal of Ukraine, a relinquishing of Britain's leadership role and a complete failure of leadership inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

SHABANA MAHMOOD’S SHAMEFUL IMMIGRATION PLAN WILL KEEP PEOPLE WORKING IN KEY INDUSTRIES LIKE CARE IN TEMPORARY STATUS FOR A DECADE OR MORE. It will keep people in insecure work, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised - WHEN DID THAT BECOME THE POLICY OF A LABOUR GOVERNMENT?

OBR, Nov 2025 - obr.uk/efo/economic... : "The total cost of fuel duty freezes from 2010-11 to 2026-27 has risen to £120 billion" An insane amount of revenue for successive governments to pass up purely to pander to drivers. How much good could've been done in the last 16 years with that money??

Relaxing sanctions on Russian oil on the same day as Putin's regime threatens to attack Latvia. Ukraine has withstood relentless attacks on its civilian population for 4 years. And we can't even contemplate fewer & more expensive holiday flights this summer? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

- Subsidising consumption in the face of a supply shock - reducing incentives to drive less/switch to EVs - using up limited fiscal space to help better-off drivers rather than the most vulnerable. Hard to think of a worse policy right now.

We like to imagine that voters make decisions on the basis of accountability and attribution. But they never have, and never will. It's time to drop the myths and build our politics on things that work, such as inspiration and transformation. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Priorities 👀 £400m support for people who can afford to drive, but nothing for people who walk, ride a bike or catch the bus? “The cost of the package, including postponing the 5p rise and the discount on red diesel duty, is expected to be around £400m.”

Every time I see Drumft talking and see his lips a lighter shade than the rest of his spray-painted face, I can't get the similarity out my head....

PM Starmer on Nigel Farage's £5m 'gift' from Christopher Harborne: "The £5million question is, why did the Reform leader keep this donation secret? "What did the billionaire lining his pockets ask for in return? Those questions need to be answered. That's why he's not here."

Thank goodness Starmer is finally supporting all those Range Rover drivers by keeping their costs low www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If we cared about poorer people we'd give them money to meet their needs, not subsidise one very specific, very harmful, activity

The Trump family’s out-in-the-open corruption is so deep, egregious and commonplace it’s *almost* comical. Like, how are American tax-payers standing for all of this? Truly staggering.

⚠️ The gov is repeating HS2 mistakes with the Lower Thames Crossing. At an estimated £769M per mile, this 'smart' motorway is set to cost MORE mile-for-mile than HS2—yet construction has begun without a final business case. Read our press release 👇 transportactionnetwork.org.uk/lower-thames...

It has taken almost 10 years for the authorities to figure out that weakening inspection and control systems led to corruption and mass killing and to think about getting round to holding some of the guilty responsible. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
