It won’t be long before international airline pilots start to refuse to fly into unsafe US airspace

But where are the vape shops and nail bars?

Indeed. It’s a utter myth that the Dutch don’t own cars - car ownership is similar to the UK, but the Dutch have many more transport options & their children have so much more freedom #happierbydesign

Of course GB News isn’t British, it’s owned by a company based in Dubai

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

“Undeliverable promises”, Labour say 😆

Why is it in the UK only #BBC Director-Generals & senior staff who resign & are held accountable when their organisation is in crisis? Only the BBC seems to be held accountable. Unlike banks; the post office scandal; NHS; Farage & Brexit where people can lie & nothing happens.

But the difference here is that driver insurance is OPTIONAL. One third of all drivers in Australia are legally uninsured.

Fatal accidents have increased by 42% in the UK since 2013. That is insane. www.rospa.com/safety-campa...

Group shot! With @tomflood.bsky.social @lucymaloney.bsky.social @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and @sgoodyear.bsky.social of @thewaroncars.bsky.social. What an all star team 🤩

Well Rachel Reeves is certainly no Gordon Brown

How has it come to this? Even the Tories weren't threatening to deport people in work and legally here (until they went into opposition).

Let me sum up the new "everything else seems old fashioned" campaign from BYD: Cars are cool everything else isn't. (breakthrough stuff here 🙄) The only thing more old fashioned than riding a horse is positioning a car as the better way forward.

On your dog walk you give them a few Pointers

Got told my an FM Conway supervisor that they don’t use ramps at kerbs during works when it’s raining because people might slip 🧐 @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social

WBC Labour remain committed to ensuring a number of these critical safety issues remain unresolved - that puts councillors at risk of culpability in the event of a serious injury or death

"it's always the fault of the migrants. Except when it isn't." Colin from Portsmouth thinks we should blame immigrants for things before they even happen.

Wandsworth Council under Labour is continuing to buy diesel vans. Renault makes a fully electric version of this vehicle 🫣 @wandsworthlabour.bsky.social

The Great Debate, circa 1434.

Hector will turn on his master

Labour are not on our side

"he could smell mustard and onions"

Cargo biking, 99 years ago. Came across this in a photo archive, unfortunately with no info on who or where, just the year, 1926. But it made me think of @lauragmitchell.com and her lovely feed of her commutes to school and around town with her children.

Imagine being Lammy. Spent years wanting power and then when he got it, doesnt have a clue how to use it.

Private profit, socialised costs

Lots were paper candidates, reform party members asked to stand by the party leadership but not expected to win. Most had no idea what the job was, lots resigned when they realised it wasn’t a gravy train. Being public spirited isn’t the first thing you think of when thinking of reform supporters🤷‍♀️

It's incredible how degraded our street transport network is for walking, cycling, riding the bus and driving, because each and every change can far too often be vetoed on a street-by-street basis by car owners. It's a mad way to manage a system.

Yet another regressive tax policy from Labour - any per mile charging needs to factor in vehicle weight, otherwise some driving a Dacia Spring (costing £14k) would be paying the same as some driving a Audi SQ6 (costing £100k), despite an Audi causing a lot more wear & tear and increasing road danger

As context to freeing of an Algerian man, here's some info about HMP Wandsworth, where he was: • Built for 900 prisoners. Holds 1,600. • Daily roster of prison officers c.70. Up to 15 staff on long-term sick leave. • 36% of officers have >3yrs service. • 12% of prison staff leave *each year*.

This is why the Netherlands is one of the happiest countries on Earth @solveschoolrun.bsky.social

Milan is stepping up on its climate plans. Mayor Giuseppe Sala has committed to reinforcing the EU’s largest Low Emission Zone and launching new community solar projects to build a cleaner, healthier city. #WMS25

A perfect example of how the media drive the politics in the UK

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

"But they don't get winters like ours!" No, they get a perpetual, drizzling frosty damp that gradually saps your will to live and drives strong men mad. Say it with me: THE WEATHER IS NOT AN IMPEDIMENT TO CYCLISTS WHO ARE WEARING CLOTHES.

Bus has to wait FOUR TIMES to keep to the timetable due to lack of congestion after Oxford's Congestion Charge went in. ⬇️ I remember hearing the same thing on here after the NY congestion charge went live.

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians". He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

You can’t eat golf courses

Two parking spaces available, yet the driver still parks almost fully on the pavement (& where our children play)

Nobody escapes justice with the #WorldBollardAssociation

Happy Halloween everyone. #WorldBollardAssociation 👻

I presume Reform & co will be railing against the practice of the non-Anglo Saxon event that is Halloween, and instead will be putting all their energy into celebrating 1st November ….
