I’d be happier if he would just permanently STFU

15,000 homes suffering a disrupted water supply. 7,000 more at risk of losing their water supply. During a heatwave. ⁉️ How on earth does South East Water still have a licence ⁉️ Take South East Water into public ownership NOW. Sign the petition 👇

I think voting to endorse this utterly appalling state of affairs is a pretty poor tactic if you want things to get better.

This won't surprise @paulbernal.bsky.social (and many others with a brain/knowledge of teenagers) I'm sure.

I admit to not paying attention 100% 💯 f the time But Has Kier Starmer condemned that double-tap Israeli War Crime on first responders yet ?

We can start to take any comments from the government about youth-bans on social media seriously the moment they withdraw from X. Not one second before.

If only our kids had the same freedom as poultry.

The Kings Speech shows why Starmer must go. What a wasted opportunity! Where’s the urgent transformative programme to redistribute wealth, tackle the nature & climate crisis, bring water into public hands, & introduce rent controls & wealth taxes? No hope, no story, no vision

Please retweet.

As we write in the book, we need less focus on adults who scream "I've lived in the city for the last 50 years and don't need bike lanes" and more focus on kids who say "I am going to live in the city for the *next* 50 years and want to be able to get around safely."

I’m going to say that whilst the new voting system in Wales was better, it is hardly ‘proportional’

There are only two reasons why someone would vote for Reform: 1. You’re a racist 2. You’re a racist and an idiot

Spotted in Llanelli yesterday IYKYK This frog will change your life ! Hellloooo, hellloooo

Come to Swansea where both the Council and South Wales Police condone this type of behaviour. This from just a 15 minute walk this morning. Pedestrians and their safety are simply inconsequential.

So, according to BBC Breakfast this morning the ONLY reasons that Town Centres are struggling is - Lack of free parking 🙄 - Chewing gum on pavements Such tired and lazy journalism.

""I think people are sick of being told they can't have healthy rivers and seas, just because powerful financiers want to keep making money from our water bills. "Our government is listening to them [water companies] but not to us,"" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

South Wales Police: You cannot ride that 10kg bicycle on a pavement Also South Wales Police: There is nothing wrong with driving a 3 ton 4x4 on a pavement directly outside a primary school Make it make sense !!

#EveryLittleHelps ‘obstruct a pavement’ You might expect #Tesco to be a little more responsible after one of their van drivers hit & killed a pedestrian in North Wales. But ‘nah’ 🙄

Oh, I am sure. It is very usual to hear from drivers who have hit someone that “they came out of nowhere”. #SorryMateIDidntSeeYou #SMIDSY Or to put it another way … www.chrisboardman.com/content/if_y...

@simonpegg.bsky.social That gravy looks a bit thick in the 4th pic 😉

I love the way expensive new roads are celebrated, even if in business case terms, they only shave a few seconds of journeys. But when it is a modest scheme to help to get buses moving, that same argument is deployed against. Sorry Bub, it's not your road outside. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

You must try out the Allister Heath headline generator. It is fab. Unless you are trying to avoid procrastination this afternoon, in which case look away now.

The Green Party isn't manipulating anyone. We are just coming up with good policies. Other parties should try it.

This is another reason measures to reduce traffic are so urgently needed. Everything helps - pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, 20mph limits, clean air zones, congestion zones, investment in new public transport options, parking control, liveable neighbourhoods and car clubs. Let’s do it all.

Not only will Reform have a declared policy which will result in killing people but they will also be adding an average £50/year to every motor insurance policy in Wales. Quite a challenge to sell this one once you get into the detail ✍️Gwern Gwynfil wp.me/p8Mk4U-1epY

The awarding of contracts to large US corporations by successive Westminster Governments, without a competitive bidding process is such a fucking RED FLAG 🚩 On a completely unrelated topic: I wonder why the UK is sliding in global corruption tables 🤔

Last night there was a vigil for the first cycling fatality of the year on London's streets. I was there. Here are some thoughts (no paywall). If this strikes a chord with you, please comment on the post and share. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Parents at our local Primary School have no problem whatsoever mounting pavements in cars, parking on pedestrian crossing zigzags and generally endangering OTHER PEOPLE’S CHILDREN as long as it saves them 5 seconds of walking. “Engine on, brain off”

Why are Governments and especially Ministers within them so shite stuff like this and just so bloody gullible. Oh, I know why…

Peers in the HoL must not block progress on the Assisted Dying Bill by dragging proceedings out unreasonably. Peers have a duty to engage in legitimate scrutiny, not filibuster until a Bill falls. It's elected MPs in the Commons who represent the people, not a handful of unelected Lords.

South Australia, this is getting crazy. www.bom.gov.au/sa/observati...

This is true. It only leaked part of it to the Guardian I suspect it was in retaliation for Trumps criticism of UK’s green policies day before. We need the full report. We need a Govt led publicity campaign so people understand WHY we really, really need to get to #NetZero

The best cycle lanes are wide, beautiful and completely separate from other roads. This type of infrastructure is common here in the Netherlands. They often connect cities and offer a great alternative for driving.

Parents parking both sides of the road outside the local Primary School. (Double yellows) Ambulance and Police Car both on emergency response (blue lights and sirens) because by delayed. Drivers are just so considerate. 🙄 Convenience > Consideration of others every time.

1/ Some wild numbers have been used in the media this week for “the cost of net zero”. Reports have said that net zero will “cost” £4.5 trillion, £7.6 trillion – the list goes on. None of these are the cost of net zero – a quick explainer 🧵 on why

Bloody cyclists, demolishing a wall and blocking a safe pedestrian route. Oh, no, my mistake it was a car. Swansea Council’s answer ? Shut the pavement (school just 200m further along) and do nothing - no safe crossing, no alternative - just nothing…
