Mostly #NFFC on here. Cycling and a bit of climate policy. Notinghamian in Hammersmith. Comp boy in a public school world. Strictly own views.

@EvanHD @BBCNews it strikes me the important nuance about the Yusuf prostate cancer screening tweet is that it does not call for screening for all, which is a defensible if debatable position. It appears to resent screening for black men, one of the most vulnerable groups.

1/ NEW: The net zero economy is now supporting:

✅Over 1m jobs
✅£105bn in GVA
✅22,000 small businesses

This analysis from @CBItweets is a reminder that net zero is a great British success story. And exactly why this Government is doubling down.

@Mabeytweet Why do I have the feeling the answer is going to involve more gas for longer, and more ‘market’, despite the past and current price shocks both being attributable to gas and the market - designed around funding operating costs - unsuitable for renewables.

@danscapephoto Great thread. Agree with al of it. What a season.

[Andrew Pendleton @AJPendleton]

@s8mb Hope he doesn’t pay as much attention as current leadership to the builders vs blockers false dichotomy nonsense. People value their places. Growth has to start from there.

Hello @LondonPortAuth this morning someone climbed up the old wharf by Fulham Reach and taped three of these to the various old mooring gear. Is this legit?

@TimesRadio @FraserNelson That’s not caused by Brexit but values. Politics is increasingly values segmented and polarised by values not socio economic class., though they interact. In the EU referendum the vote was values polarised. See this: https://t.co/4jtymMUGe1 & https://t.co/sjGIKkqamx @AJPendleton

@MattDavies_FF Villa are a proper outfit, 2-3 seasons ahead of Forest in development. No shame in the defeat at all, and would've been closer without core injuries. Also feel Emery got tactics right. Never thought I'd say these words, but playing Lindelof in CDM was masterstroke.

@danscapephoto Yes. looks very competent and nice touch from Pereira to give him some minutes. Bakwa also looks like a different player under Pereira.

[Andrew Pendleton @AJPendleton]

@danscapephoto Villa are 2 or 3 seasons ahead and unless you have stability and allow a team to build, you won't get there regardless of how talented your players are. But also, I do think Pereira got the tactics wrong and we should have reverted to 3 in the middle and 1 striker.

@Battlemuch4WW Looks like £500 already from anywhere to Istanbul on 20th.

@BromptonBicycle @JohnLewisRetail @waitrose Me neither. It was actually completely folded and I was carrying it. I was categorically told they no longer allow Bromptons in the shop at all. Not even an offer to keep it somewhere safe.

[Andrew Pendleton @AJPendleton]

Here’s possibly the most middle class post ever, but @JohnLewisRetail and @waitrose appear to have stopped allowing customers to carry fold-up bikes in their shops. @BromptonBicycle have a word! It won’t deeply affect my life but it’s daft!

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market

New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader

Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here

And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol

NEW: The UK govt is scrapping its top-up carbon tax, the "carbon price support" from 2028

Brought in by Osborne to help get rid of coal
Now it brings in Treasury revenue (£400m in 2024/25) + raises elec bills, but doesn't help cut CO2

Will cut power prices by ~0.7p/kWh

NEW ANALYSIS: Record wind and solar generation saved UK from gas imports worth £1bn in March 2026

📈Wind+solar were up 22% year-on-year in March to a record high for the month
⛴️This avoided the need for gas imports worth £1bn at current high prices

the Jose Feliciano version is fabulous, @robert_elms @RobertElms but Stevie wins against anyone on any track. Innervisions is also one of his three flawless albums
