@bicycal_life I’ve been cycling in London for 20+ years and generally it’s got a lot better.
However, the arrival of high-powered, illegal e-bikes combined with a rapid increase wazzocks on wheels is getting annoying.

@CitizenUddin Went to the dentists yesterday on my bike. No provision for parking a bike securely, but 20 spaces for cars.
This is London, Zone 2…

@Chching_ @PistonHeads That looks a million times better ..

@colinwalker79 As UK citizens we don’t have a good record on referendums.

Often we don’t understand the question, vote for self-harm and fail to understand the evidence before us.

It’s a national affliction.

@tomhfh It’s basic maths. If smaller parties take a bigger slice of cake, the larger parties get a smaller slice…

@Keir_Starmer Very nearly, but your statement on Europe is sending me elsewhere.

And I’m booked to do the same if they lose against Switzerland.

@ThatAlexWoman The more exposure Reform have the less people seem to like them…. and it’s no secret FPTP constituency voting means governments aren’t representative. Margaret Thatcher only got 42% of the vote… it’s not a conspiracy, it’s simple maths.

@LeoMars75 We need choice and apprenticeships should be expanded. My son was looking at the @JohnDeere training & apprentice schemes and they are amazing. He’s very excited and will be applying in a few years - real skills in something that interests him. Win-win.

@rgwarner Agree - there’s no way this would have been anywhere near as bad if it wasn’t a massive Land Rover

I think we’re overdue an SUV Supertax.

@HibbsA I bought one EV, and we then bought another… I don’t recall the Telegraph asking me though.

‘Why I ditched my Tesla for a 12-year-old petrol car’. Can’t see past the paywall but guessing it doesn’t labour much on there being more than 452,000 plug-in hybrid and battery-electric cars in the UK with EVs showing a growth of 41% on 2022… https://t.co/jdmVqvbP0v

@theJeremyVine On my commute into London I’d guess that 30% of cyclists and a similar % of drivers are Wallopers.

The best answer would be for this group to move to Walloping Meadows together and leave the rest of us to it.

@carlboland @ListerLawrence The RR SVR will plummet in value like a stone if it’s not stolen first … whereas the Dakar will drop glacially.

Neither is a great investment… you’d be better off with a GT3

[TimEV @Tim_Wainw]

@reformparty_uk You only get 24% in your own TV channel poll?

[TimEV @Tim_Wainw]

@ListerLawrence Not quite as obnoxious as a BMW M6 but certainly at DEFCON 2 levels …

Feel free to buy a RR if you live on a farm and are a fully paid up member of the NFU but for the rest of the world just don’t.

[TimEV @Tim_Wainw]

@ColinBrazierTV … and yet, if you look at that most emblematic of crimes, murder the rate has actually fallen over the last 20 years … but, hey don’t let facts get in the way of your narrative

[TimEV @Tim_Wainw]

@Keir_Starmer @GNev2 By far the best political broadcast I’ve ever watched

[TimEV @Tim_Wainw]

@BGatesIsaPyscho They are criminals. Whether you like ULEZ or not, we live in a democracy. ULEZ (a Tory policy) was instigated and Londoners re-elected the Mayor who implemented it.
If you don’t like it use the ballot box. Don’t use balaclavas and angle grinders.

[TimEV @Tim_Wainw]

@giles_pease @implausibleblog … tell us you don’t own an EV without telling us you don’t own an EV
