'When you leave me walk out backwards, so I think you're coming in...'

Great to see this, and thank you for sharing. Important journalism

We'll build a tunnel and in 20 years folk will be saying 'God don't use the Peak Tunnel in school holidays...it's rammed, use the old road, much quicker'

My contribution to the #odyssey discussions. Breakfast of gods

Having driven me off BBC Scotland with the loss of arts and culture slot on weekday afternoons, & even more football on weekends and morning news. The BBC have buggered my early Saturday evening kitchen slot by dumping Lisa Tarbuck and Shaun Keveaney...time to find another podcast then

Everyone's a football expert now!

I fear Farage will win again with all the nutters splitting the Muppet vote, hopefully I'm wrong

Canvassers out in force in Clacton.

Farage is one step away from claiming Reform need their own armed paramilitary organisation to protect party officials. No doubt £5m can buy a lot of brown shirts and ties.

The way this whole story is playing out is deeply concerning And impossible to ignore that this time last week Farage, and Reform’s, funding was the only story in town Now Reform and its leader is playing the tune everyone else is dancing to www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

All these gardens being torn up for concrete driveways and EV charging / parking must be creating a series of mini-heat reflectors in the suburbs. Won't this be raising temperature in these homes?

The Today programme was never more irritating than when Humphries was chief host. His biggest fan was himself. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

God Clacton is suffering isnt it.

Saw this work in Gothenburg Art Museum. It's really struck me and some folk in England would benefit from taking this message on board

I only worked in the transport industry for about 12 years. But if the energy spent on creating and attending active travel conferences were spent on implementing active travel infrastructure, we'd be home and dry by now...

Now if they hadn't turned the St Ives routes into a a very expensive bus lane that may have become part of the rail network as well....

Morning @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social this is another reminder of what you could have won, twenty years ago...

It says much about these divided times that an organisation like the Citizens Advice service, a byword for old-fashioned kindness & decency, has decided it must now fight the far-right in our poorest communities to stop the demonisation tearing society apart My @heraldscotland.bsky.social long read

At a country show today. Its a little like walking around inside a Martin Parr photograph

Put out some water out for the bird friends please, gang. It's thirsty work being a bird friend.x

London chums, I know it's boiling off the scale there, but up here...mist and overcoats

All these gardens being torn up for concrete driveways and EV charging / parking must be creating a series of mini-heat reflectors in the suburbs. Won't this be raising temperature in these homes?

There are of course a million and one reasons to be extremely concerned about a Wes Streeting chancellorship, but sticking purely to the subjects I know something about, Wes wants to: - drill for more North Sea oil and gas ‘to lower energy bills’ - take out cycle lanes ‘to alleviate congestion’

There were those who doubted us, but a new independent report shows major reductions in air pollution in our city are linked to an estimated 40% fewer annual premature deaths.

For me the best bit of Radio Scotland was the weekday afternoons with arts and culture chat....that's been chucked out for even more men shouting about football, as if we didn't have enough already

And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Bravo!

Watching Black Klansmen on BBC I player, a 1972 scene in which a black undercover cop infiltrates a local rally where civil rights leader Kwame Ture (a.k.a. Stokely Carmichael) is speaking. And caught myself thinking this week in 2026 the Oxford Union invited Tommy Robinson to speak...

Lib by Donkeys...

Is it OK to blame Starmer for this?

And not a squeak from Farage, Lowe, Robinson or Tice. Nothing. Literally nothing.

Why live musicians need to implore the audience to clap along I dont know. I want to hear you play, not the machine gun rattle of 400 out of sync pairs of hands coming together to drown your music...

This is the way to do, so easy too!

Serious call for help! I have a map that belonged to Major Henry Smalley. The last descendent we know of is John Smalley, Henry's grandson, who was born in 1945. I would like to track him, or his descendants down, so I can return the map to them. Can you help? Or at least repost? John may have moved

But surely the real problem is those hire bikes cluttering up footpaths, AND I was nearly knocked over by someone on bike thirty years ago!

Bloody hell, this is huge for anyone interested in Transport in Scotland! www.heraldscotland.com/news/2619085...

Morning Edinburgh, you could have had this twenty years ago. London showed you how to do it...but you knew best

Did a lovely walk today to the Buchanty Spout with Dunfermline Ramblers. Saw this magnificent fellow and lots of his mates. This one wasn't even the tallest! www.ramblers.org.uk/scotland

A reduction in obesity, cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity – fewer cardiac patients, better air quality. Anyone in public health knows it pays for itself over and over....but so many seem not to understand this, including a former Health Secretary and man who wants to be PM. The twat

In case there was any doubt about Wes Streeting.

The far-right has always sided with Britain’s enemies. They are not patriots. They are traitors. Fifth columnist. Enemies within. They should be treated as such by the law.

You idiots. What’s with that stupid AI pic?

'I'll be disappointed if we don't get to the semi finals'....bloody hell, I'll be amazed if we do, but here's hoping

Jeremy Clarkson needs to sell his tax haven farm and move to a 15 minute city (actually a Scottish Village) like me. A Dr, vet, optician, shops, pubs and restaurants and cafes within a 15 minute walk. Poor sod!

#TipToe Aileen is going ballistic at episode five 'don't go in there, he wouldn't do that....hes 60, hes lived through the 70s' The writing has gone to bits in the last episode, a pity

Watching #Tiptoe on C4 and enjoying it, but I keep finding myself shouting 'change the locks!'

Great to see young kids independently cycling home from school on segregated cycle tracks, with floating bus stops keeping them safe

This is sad news, Jon Snow has been a wonderful advocate for bicycles as transport. On occasion he has boasted how some of his scoops were facilitated by the fact he used a bicycle as transport. Spoke to him a couple of times at cycling conferences. I hope things are as well as can be for him.

That there shopping spree list of Peter Murrell reads like a particularly fucked up edition of the Generation Game.....

The World Cup events get shittier by the day...
