The downgrading of modern language teaching is Scotland is short-sighted culturally as well as economically. As a graduate in German and Russian from a Scottish university, I'm in a good place to know. www.heraldscotland.com/politics/wes...

BREAKING — The UK is joining in with the US/Israeli/French campaign against independent UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese. In response to a question from arch Israel lobbyist Luke Akehurst, it says it wants her comments on Israel to be “urgently investigated”.

I can already hear the frothing rage this will cause, but it makes complete sense. greens.scot/glasgow/news...

How 'envy-of-the-world' Britain does high speed rail.

"Politicians must stop prioritising 'socially and ecologically destructive growth' that only increases the profits – and serves the consumption demands – of the world’s richest individuals and corporations." I expect Starmer would call him an extremist.

Why vote Green when you could vote LibDem?

Never mind congestion charging, the cheapest, most effective means of curbing car traffic and improving the quality of towns and cities is to remove parking.

“Wait, we’re afraid of walkable distances now?”* *best response ever to the manufactured conspiracy theories about “15-Minute Cities” and the simple idea of having more things we need nearby. #UrbanTruth

At 9.3 kilometres (5.8 miles) my cycle trip to work this morning was longer than most UK car trips. It took me 26 minutes. (It would have been 23 minutes if I hadn't spent so long waiting at a crossing because people driving within the city are given priority over people who aren't driving)

Always better to re-use than demolish buildings, even hideous ones, given the huge amounts of imbedded carbon involved. If #Edinburgh really didn't want ugly buildings, it would stop giving them planning permission. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/argyle-...

The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern. Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.

The German chancellor is in Washington meeting Trump, a man who sees Europe as irrelevant, who supports Merz’s opponents and who is political poison. What can he hope to gain? ✏️ @johnkampfner.bsky.social

'For the next term of office, our vision for [Lyon Public Transport] is simple: a more reliable, higher-capacity, more accessible network that better connects all parts of the metropolitan area, and a fare policy that continues to protect households and give young people independence'.

Just last week the German government gutted the heating law which was supposed to drive a transition away from gas. The timing could not have been worse: Gas prices are up 50% today and this crisis could worsen significantly. This will happen again and again and the consumer pays the price.

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

See, you can be prime minister and still have a spine.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

That would have a huge positive impact on all levels. Glasgow deserves a bus service at least as good as Edinburgh’s. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2588781...

It was clear from the start that hydrogen had nothing to offer over battery. The project was always a sop to the fossil fuel industry and the inevitable has now come to pass. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Lots of flaws in this article, not least the very idea that 'sustainable air travel' exists, but there is clearly a strong case for scrapping business class all together. www.forbes.com/sites/alexle...

Spring: Baltic Sea version. #Bansin

We often observe that architects shouldn't be allowed anywhere near transport plans. But frankly, this is taking the piss. www.architectsjournal.co.uk/news/riba-pr...

Rightwing German politicians talk about tightening up border controls. But all anyone has to do is walk casually from one side to the other.

Freeze on parking charges - top priority from #Edinburgh ‘s Labour/Tory/LibDem coalition. Availability and cost of parking is what is ruining the city. Future could be so much better. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Good - now get on with it. www.midlothianview.com/news/governm....

Always best when the border is no border at all.

Gorton and Denton by-election result: GRN: 40.7% (+27.5) REF: 28.7% (+14.7) LAB: 25.4% (-25.3) CON: 1.9% (-6.0) LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1) Green GAIN from Labour.

Still wintery view from the Züssow (DE) - Świnoujście (PL) branch line. Amazed routes like this still exist, but glad that they do.

Blue shows odds tightening, red shows odds drifting. Greens hot favourites and coming in, Labour outsiders of three and drifting out. If you want to oppose Reform don't waste your vote on Labour.

Resist! Free parking as a human right. www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/2588592...

The UK parliament now has an MP who is openly racist and far right. This is, for the current era, new ground, and it will be interesting to see how - if at all – other MPs respond.

While the Palestinian Ministry of Health of health says it documanted just over 72,000 deaths, a study published by The Lancet Global Health in February found that the true toll during the first 16 months of the conflict was likely significantly higher than official figures indicate.

It's amazing how car blind uk society is. Replace e- bike and e-scooter with car in this article and you won't even get close to the scale of that problem. Parked cars clutter every road snd footway, and destroy every verge they come across. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Makes sense in terms of pedestrian safety, reducing congestion and getting careless drivers to take rules seriously, all while paying for itself. #Edinburgh could do with some of this.

Looked at from the EU's side, this is actually quite funny.

Scotland’s new emissions strategy ‘too reliant on science fiction’, says UK climate watchdog - @severincarrell.bsky.com reports www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Note to Scotland: if, like in Germany, your rail (or bus) network sees an upsurge in usage resulting from a lowering (or removal) of fares, you must at the same time improve the infrastructure and capacity to meet it. www.berliner-zeitung.de/mensch-metro...

Looks like Labour have pulled off the impossible and beaten the LibDems for the award of dodgy bar chart of the year.

Semyon Kravchenko returned from 🇳🇴 to 🇷🇺 in the north. At Borisoglebsk checkpoint he was beaten after FSB officers found "evidence of support to Ukraine" on his mobile phone. Today he serves a 14-year jail sentence.
