Transform Tulse Hill led a deputation to Lambeth Council tonight to urge them to support safety improvements at Tulse Hill Gyratory. The council agreed to press TfL for funding for a major scheme & if that doesn't work, will explore a developer-funded scheme and/or smaller, targeted improvements.

Things I’ve seen drivers do while I’ve been cycling around London: -driving no handed eating fish&chips -doing laughing gas -eating a full English off a dinner plate -watching netflix on an ipad -crashing Yesterday I saw a woman stopped at traffic lights doing lines of coke off her hand 🤦🏻‍♀️

Really sad to hear about D’Angelo. Always reminds me of the late 90s and his music being so good in a sea of shite Britpop. Alongside Angie Stone, Erykah Badu and Maxwell his was a voice of the times. This is my favourite of his tracks: youtu.be/wsaHsR1YU4M?...

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

This is the first party political broadcast in a very long time that understands the trouble we’re in. Great job @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚 youtu.be/qxt4HCjd7VA

Would you push someone off this 54-foot ladder? Hitting them with your car at 40mph does the same damage.

American kids are dying from measles because lunatic right wing anti-vaxxers are in charge. Not only are they unable to govern, they are stripping away people’s rights & literally allowing people to die. If you want to know what a Reform government would look like in the UK, just look at this.

LTNs make junctions on boundary roads safer for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and drivers.

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns. They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings. That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

GRMA to everyone who came to support us as the carnival of distraction rolls on We'll be back on Sep 26th for Court to determine jurisdiction. We have set out why it does not. Kneecap is not the story. Palestine is the story. The British government is aiding genocide. Don't stop calling them out

80 years ago, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. We remember the thousands who were killed in a crime against humanity, as well as the survivors who carried the pain of the past. Today, let us honour them by vowing to rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all.

Labour Friends of Slum Landlords

People will be like "I would do anything for my kids!!!" right up until you suggest dropping the speed limit to 20mph.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Last night 80+ residents & businesses came together for a positive & collaborative meeting about the Tulse Hill gyratory with Helen Hayes MP, councillor Olga FitzRoy, @labourmarina.bsky.social, The Norwood Forum & others. Lots of great ideas & people keen to get involved in transforming Tulse Hill

"Fix the gyratory" - Brixton Buzz Public meeting this Wednesday 7pm. www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/07/fix-...

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Tulse Hill deserves so much more. Right now, the gyratory system divides our community and puts lives at risk. We’re campaigning for a safer road system which puts people first—less traffic, more space to walk, cycle, meet, & shop. Join us, come to our meeting & help #TransformTulseHill.

It's time to fix the dangerous Tulse Hill gyratory. Join us at Transform Tulse Hill and come to our first public meeting bringing together residents, businesses, Helen Hayes MP, Cllr Olga Fitzroy & other community groups. 7pm on Wed 23 July, Salvation Army Hall, 246 Norwood Road, SE27 9AW.

Biggup @subdermic.bsky.social for the new album Corvus, worth checking out if you like uncompromising techno. “Arciform” slaps, plus many other hard diamonds on this 8 tracker. thesubdermic.bandcamp.com/album/corvus

HH, like Crystal Palace, is a nexus of shops and cafes with a large park nearby, and yet the experience of being in both is dominated by a near-constant stream of vehicles simply passing through to somewhere else. Great to see businesses challenging everyday carmaggedon

An incredible 6 million cars are driven through the Herne Hill junction every year. 48 people have been hurt in traffic collisions with 21 seriously injured. Traders are calling for action from TfL and Lambeth Council. brixtonblog.com/traders-call...

Oh no, it’s the Cyber Truck of bicycles

The Evening Standard has launched a clean air campaign… which turns out to just be an attack on the Mayor (who they admit has cleaned up London’s air.) They don’t like the forthcoming removal of the EV congestion charge exemption. I wonder which “commercial partners” paid for this article?

1. This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breathtaking perversity, told in this thread. (There’s a one-page version at the bottom). 🧵

Look at what the militant woke communist lycra-wearing cycling elite have done. Disgraceful.

Happy St George’s Day to all who don’t celebrate it.

That him away back up the road again aye?

Fundamentally the issue is clear: if I leave my home and choose the most polluting and antisocial form of transport my local authority makes this easy; if I try to be responsible, pro-social and healthy, my local authority makes this hard

Only one tonight as I’m otherwise engaged, but it’s a classic. In honour of my boys who are playing in Brixton tonight… youtu.be/mNjmGuJY5OE?... #RaveyardShift

Shout out to whoever made this citation-filled comment in the Oxford Mail comments section. Really here for it.

Oh come on. The title alone is worth one of your clicks 😊

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Awful news from my neighbourhood, part of a controversial but now-suspended LTN. Whatever one's views on its implementation, this is exactly the kind of horrible incident the LTN was designed to avoid. I hope the child makes a full recovery www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/03/resi...

Valley Road has been a sewer in recent months & it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt. I hope the kid gets better soon. We need the LTN reinstalled as a matter of urgency. Still no sign of when the A23 works are going to happen though… www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/03/resi...

I spent a lot of time at PAPAs Park Brixton over the years & my kid practically grew up there - it’s a great community facility & I hope they manage to get their new building & replace the leaky old building currently there. If you can spare a few quid: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/papas-park...

Change of pace now, picked this up in a provincial record shop a few weeks back so it’s got to be VAMP - OUTLANDER #raveyardshift youtu.be/aTNfXq6CDwo?...

Hello #RaveyardShift Here’s a new classic for you. Nice little disco edge to this one. Jon Dixon: Detroit Suave youtu.be/SB6p9uUmFxU?...

This is well worth your time. A very very funny review of a recent Chris De Burgh gig. You don’t even have to be a fan of his, although I know you all are.

Dear Media: Halting all aid to Gaza is not "pressuring Hamas." Collective punishment is a war crime. Starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime. Withholding medical care is a war crime. None of this is remotely controversial actually. Israel is doing war crimes, not "pressuring Hamas."

Great to see all the positive stories about congestion pricing coming out of New York. It has drastically reduced traffic in Manhattan and Brooklyn and it’s blown everyones minds 😎

The US has the world’s most expensive military but doesn’t have basic functioning public services like hospitals and firefighters
