Beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way.

#Piccadilly is 2.7mi from Media City. 9 stops by tram. It takes c.28mins.

#Waterloo is 2.27mi from Camden Town. 9 stops by tube. It takes 11mins.

Chicken & egg. Density won't come until you build the transit. London densified in large part because of the tube. Crack on!👊

The relative underperformance of North England’s economy is a mystery……

Misrepresenting what was said then limiting replies. What a strawman weasel.

UK treasury keeps coming up with ideas like "we can save money on this car by only attaching three tyres" and then looking sad when the sparks fly across the tarmac before claiming the damage means they can only afford two wheels in future.

[Tom Bridges @bridges_tom]

This is how far the UK has fallen behind.

Why can Dijon, France plan, approve, and build a 12 mile tramway in 4 years, while it takes 13 years to build a 1 mile tram extension in Birmingham?

Our new report, written with @createstreets, explores how Britain can make building new tramways cheaper and faster. 🧵

I wrote about HS2. Why it needed building. Why it got cancelled and why it won't get reinstated. And what we might expect to happen now. https://t.co/eYGwsVkuJT

Just a reminder that domestic abuse will rise tonight due to England’s loss in the final against Spain. Stay safe everyone.

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

Domestic abuse rates increase by 38% when England lose, and by 26% when they win or draw in tournaments.

The 24/7 free national domestic abuse helpline is 0808 2000 247.

It wasn’t to be… but more importantly, if you are a victim of domestic abuse tonight, call the following number:

I cannot imagine what it must be like for the lionesses to have WON the euros, then get 2nd in the World Cup, just for Harry Kane to say ‘England hasn’t won anything as a nation for a long, long time’.

Also, female athletes have won gold at the last FOUR Winter Olympics 🙃

[Jeremy Driver @J_D_89]

Only 9 British cities have a tram or metro.

France has 30; Germany has 60. How can we build rapid transit to French or German levels?

Here's some ideas:

[Tom Forth @thomasforth]

But it happens every month, year, and decade, and it accumulates. More AI research and development is now happening in and around London. London was always likely to do well, in part because of past preference. It would have been a smaller gap without the UK government's 'help'.

Levelling Up: Another decade of not trying. > The UK has and will invest more in growth in London and the Greater South East of England than North England and the Midlands. Another two decades, after two decades before. And so regional inequality is up. https://t.co/orguwlzswz
