Today I’m remembering the horrific ordeal the Israeli people were subjected to two years ago today and thinking of all those still suffering as a result of these events 😢.

Just signing off from here for 25 hours for #YomKippur - that's how I afflict myself ✡️

Just heard of the death of #BrianPatten - another voice of #Liverpool gone 😢 You ask for a poem. And so I write you a tragedy about How a blade of grass Becomes more and more difficult to offer. And how as you grow older A blade of grass Becomes more difficult to accept. #RestInPoetry Brian

Happy to share our new research on UK climate politics 🚨 We found Members of Parliament (MPs) use the language of climate "pragmatism" to avoid rapid change. It risks becoming a new discourse of delay. More detail below and in 🧵 1/ theconversation.com/politicians-...

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

Just shows demand for good quality #CycleParking exceeds supply. @brighton-hove.gov.uk has only 150 #BikeHangars (compare w 600+ in #Lambeth). Disappointing that @trevmu10.bsky.social has no plans for more 🙁. If you want to help change this, join @bricycles.org.uk! www.theargus.co.uk/news/2540132...

Here's our response to the news that RPI hit 4.8% last month, the figure the Government usually uses to set the following year's annual rail fare rise. This year the fare rise was RPI+1%...could a 5.8% fare rise be on the cards for 2026?

No one should die just trying to get from A to B. Our research shows that the public want action to make roads safer, and the majority of drivers would accept delays to get there. Read the blog here: ippr.org/articles/everyday-concerns-what-people-want-from-transport

An attempt by me to explain the pain and frustration that lies behind Liverpool fan's booing the national anthem and why this absolutely cannot be compared to disrupting a minute of silence for a young dad killed in a car crash

New job! We're looking for a qualitative researcher to work with us on two projects, a participatory project on urban greening and a mixed-methods study on impacts of cycle infrastructure. 0.9 FTE for 8 months (combined maternity cover role). More info: vacancies.westminster.ac.uk/Hrvacancies/...

Halfway through Season 2, one thing’s clear: Jewish identity isn’t just European. Never was. India, Iran, the Ottoman Empire, the Americas, Africa: these aren’t side stories. They’re the centre. 5 episodes. 5 erased histories. Catch up now. #jewsky open.substack.com/pub/whojewth...

Argues: “…while BEV usage reduces emission-based externalities, it may exacerbate others such as congestion externalities. Our results suggest a need for caution when using transportation incentives that make BEVs cheaper, but additionally make private motor vehicle use in general less expensive”

This image of a delivery rider, framed as a threat, highlighting asylum seeker hotel addresses and offering to “take action” puts all marginalised and exploited delivery riders at risk, whether seeking asylum or not. Extraordinarily divisive and dangerous from a Labour Party Prime Minister.

🛢️ Fossil fuels: Dangerous. Expensive. ☢️ Nuclear: Too expensive. Too slow. 💡 Renewables: Cheap, clean and fast. 🤔 Why is our government continuing to back outdated and expensive electricity generation when renewables would bring down bills AND emissions fast?

Now in Tel Aviv: Thousands of Jews and Palestinians are marching together against the starvation in Gaza and for an immediate ceasefire deal to end the annihilation and return the hostages

✍️New column! The Department for Education has declared 2026 the National Year of Reading, but in Brighton three libraries are now up for closure. This potentially devastating community loss shows that even though a new Govt is in place, austerity lingers on... www.theargus.co.uk/news/2532486...

This year, every Trans Pride in the UK has taken the collective decision to exclude all political parties from officially participating in our events. That includes marching under party banners or hosting stalls within our event spaces. 🧵

Yesterday, Israel’s parliament tried to impeach Palestinian MK Ayman Odeh, leader of the Joint List party. The reason? A statement saying he is "happy to see the hostages and prisoners released. Next we must free both peoples from the burden of the occupation." (1/6)

I’ve put together this listing of top endorsements for Adrian & Ellie for the Green Party Leadership race. They really are quite something. Check out this thread 🧵. Let’s start with the mother of all endorsements: Caroline Lucas’s: x.com/carolineluca...

It was good to talk on BBC Breakfast this morning about what's driving the rise in fake ebikes in the UK. Food delivery app firms need to take responsibility for the risks their business practices are creating and be held to account for ending it

I don’t know who runs this Substack, but it’s very good work, and I intend to aggressively promote it… #TransSky #Brighton open.substack.com/pub/terfwatc...

To help @wearepossible.bsky.social I've just joined the #ClimateThousand - a new campaign by #Possible to get 1,000 people giving £2 a month to power bold #ClimateAction. I thought some of you might want to join too! action.wearepossible.org/page/173387/...

I'm going to be on BBC Breakfast on the sofa tomorrow morning at 07:15 talking about fake e-bikes. Tune in! This is about the All Party Parliamentary Group report I authored, with @fusionmedia.bsky.social

Highlighting the vulnerability of cyclists

We owe it to every child who lives in fear and to every parent who doesn’t know if their children will survive the night to keep fighting for a future where all children on this land, Palestinian and Jewish, can live with safety. (2/2)

Really important thread for anyone who thinks @greenparty.org.uk isn't doing well electorally - the substance is in the second tweet. We don't need 'eco populism' to win, we don't need to be more left wing, we need to stick our - really quite radical - values. And target to win.

Ok, an update on the Bus Services (No.2) Bill, which some people and organisations were trying to use to ban the use of floating bus stops which would have ended the ability to build cycle tracks in England in many circumstances. The committee stage has finished and in this specific area, 1/n

Packed room at #ActiveCity for very topical discussion on #Accessible bus stops (incl #FloatingBusStops) with speakers from @guidedogsuk.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social @ategov.bsky.social
