🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage is repeatedly heckled by MPs as he calls on Keir Starmer to end "two-tier policing"

Starmer: "His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who lost his son & asked for this not to happen... it shows exactly who he is"

Bordeaux – Population 260,000. Has trams.

Leeds – Population 800,000. No trams.

We can, and we will, have nice stuff.

People will come up with reasons why we can't do it.

Ignore them. We can.

Yes we tram.

The killer will get the MANDATORY LIFE SENTENCE for murder
Regardless of which party is in Govt

Sadly there is no penalty for trying to exploit Henry’s terrible murder & his family’s pain for political reasons

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

@earthygirl011 Which part of that don’t you understand?

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

When I reported on Zahawi I got a handful of abusive messages. When he apologised & it turned out I was right, they all stopped.

But Polanski? Wild levels of abuse, which just ramped up when Polanski apologised & it turned out I was right.

Does the Green Party have a problem?

"I once received £5m, a further £1m, an £800k house, helicopter trips and a trip to the Maldives, and wasn't expected to do anything in return for it."

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

@DavidMcNab17 Polanski denied living there. We published our report. He admitted living there and apologised. Now he’ll pay three years’ tax.

And you think I shouldn’t have reported it because <reasons>

[Tom Forth @thomasforth]

Oh that's a real shame. @Jonathan_Pryor has been such a great councillor. Massive contribution to prosperity and growth in the city. No amount of local work or more campaigning could have overcome this though.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Trump is so disrespectful. He literally cut in front of Queen Camilla while she was shaking hands.

Every day is another embarrassment for our country.

[AJ Vickers (48.1%) @VickersGm]

The driver said he was 1.6m away from the bike when he passed. Magistrates at Sheffield Magistrates Court deemed his driving legal and found him not guilty of Inconsiderate Driving (or in other words it wasn't a close - pass!) I'm surprised. @SaferRoadsYorks @Bikery1966

[Gabriel Pogrund @Gabriel_Pogrund]

Exclusive: Richard Tice failed to pay £100k in tax, benefiting his investment firm — which then gave big sums to Reform

Tice gave contradictory reasons for why four shell companies paid zero tax. @DanNeidle says they flouted "basic" rule, face HMRC probe https://t.co/Xpnb9eP3MX

[Brendan May @bmay]

Utter charlatan. I can see why he appealed to Jenrick, whose convictions last for less time than an episode of newsround.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

No greater metaphor for this entire week than Pete Hegseth quoting a fake Bible verse from the movie Pulp Fiction to Pentagon staff.

[CyclingMikey the Unspeakable @MikeyCycling]

What a fantastic result by @n00dles71! The driver apparently represented themselves and thought he could use the "defence" of Greg not being a police officer and not using a court approved camera. Guilty. 6 points, £500 fine, £974 costs. Plus he will have an appointment with the Traffic Commissioner regarding his HGV licence. https://t.co/wmIVsvwc5W

[Election Enjoyer @ElxMapping]

visits the pope → pope dies

leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse

flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide

Man’s got a streak.

Given the debate in @TfL @MayorofLondon @willnorman on vehicle size - I thought it would be worth sharing this again …

When common sense and strong research intersect @LSHTM

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

Children hit by an SUV, while walking or cycling, are 77% more likely to be killed than if hit by a smaller car - rising to over 200% for children under nine.

That’s why I’ve asked TfL to research the growing impact of supersized SUVs in our city.

[James May @MrJamesMay]

Very, very few people are capable of breaking the speed limit, even the 20mph one, on a bicycle. Legal electric-assist bicycles in the UK are limited to 15mph. The problem being identified here is with illegal electric motorcycles and e-scooters, which are nothing to do with cycling.

[AJ Vickers (48.1%) @VickersGm]

@BobFromAccounts @FestAKINBUSOYE Notice how the approaching cyclist is riding slowly and seems fully aware of the presence of the visually impaired pedestrian. It would be a completely different story had the pedestrian wanted to walk the other way - pedestrian would risk being hit by a driver.
