Saying “we don’t recognise the figures” is lazy and disingenuous. DHSC rejects peer reviewed analysis of impact of U.K.-US pharma “deal” but won’t publish its own impact assessment www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

TfL Cycle Sundays are bringing unlimited free 60-minute rides back this July with Santander Cycles. Cycling is a great way to explore London. I’d encourage everyone to take up these free Sunday bike rides, with more than 50 beginner-friendly routes available. tfl.gov.uk/modes/cyclin...

Excellent visitor engagement with Keep On The Grass

“Keep On The Grass” is now open for viewing at University of Westminster’s new Zone 29 building. Join the discussion about permission versus prohibition in parks and other public spaces.

Sneak peek 2 #KeepOnTheGrass

Air con on the tube is very much appreciated, but TfL needs to be preventing heat getting into the tube network in the first place. My Full quote given to the Standard was a bit more nuanced than simply "give us air con"! 🧵 1/5 www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

I get why this is good but will it be adding time to the journey to Cambridge Cambridge?

Sneak peek… Keep On The Grass.

“Unashamedly female”

I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house

So after a lot of work and I think one day off in the last three months, this opens tomorrow. Come along.

It’s been quite the ride. Me on Burnham, the Manchester years as.ft.com/r/2d95cb4b-8...

Some nice signage on a recent walk

From the 16th to the 21st Century, so many laws to restrict who stays where. Exhibit at Museum of Homelessness, Finsbury Park.

Counting down to the opening of "Keep On the Grass" at University of Westminster's new Zone 29 space for student, public and industry collaboration. The exhibition is a playful exploration of signs in public spaces and how they influence our sense of belonging (among other things!).

As long as the government remains on the fascist enabling X nobody can take anything they say seriously with regards to social media and safety

I'd like to see the electoral maths driving this. What are the back of the envelope maths on number of anxious parents in marginal seats that makes *this* worth a go vs the more muscular foreign policy that would be reflected in rolling out measures against X?

Exactly. Don’t ever say they fight for women’s safety. More locals attach women than migrants, in my personal experience.

The home bathroom is the one place of quiet where no one gives a woman tasks or advice or instructions and if you take that away from us we will burn it all down with cleansing fire I promise you

Just a disgusting, inhuman way to talk about war. We must never get used to this

A few people campaigning / focus grouping in Makerfield have told me that even Reform supporters have brought up that Farage going against the wishes of Nowak's family made them uneasy. So these statements are both brave and important.

We have! Very proud of this. A proper joined up network is what the whole city needs.

91% of police officers are white 95% of snr officers are white All 43 chief constables are white The proposition of 2-tier policing or that the police is systemically racist against white ppl entails believing that white ppl are the perpetrators of - & all the leaders upholding - antiwhite racism

I have a student son Henry Nowak’s age & I can’t imagine what it took for his family to respond outside court with the grace they did, asking that their son’s death not be used for division and hate. That Reform & Restore chose to throw that back in their faces makes me feel sick.

I’ve a thing for novels about periods of transition, so was sold on this analogy from the get-go. Next up: Things Fall Apart?

Can anyone tell me about a NHS long term conditions policy initiative in the last 20 years that *wasn’t* evaluated according to reductions in hospital admissions? Hearing that most of the work in the INTs isn’t changing this vital (?) indicator.
