@mgtmccartney It's steep all right, but at least not that long

Dear @trussliz / @RishiSunak the cost of living crisis has left millions worried how they'll make ends meet.

I'd like to formally invite you, as the new PM, to join me asap once you take office for a special hour's @itvMLshow discussion/Q&A to answer/ease people's concerns.

Comparing life expectancy in UK and Ireland shows two things. That the UK has had a significant #publichealth crisis in the last 10 years and, also, just how badly the UK dealt with #COVID19 in its first year compared with our nearest neighbour

It will get almost no publicity, but the government just won a vote to take control of the Electoral Commission. That’s right: Johnson will now wield ultimate power over another of the bodies designed to hold executive power in check. This is not a functioning democracy.

Good reason not to vote Conservative (there are others)

I had a big day today:
▶️ We launched the Edinburgh Labour Manifesto (Details here - https://t.co/wDOYoqArCW)
▶️ I submitted my papers, and I am now officially standing for re-election. 😃
▶️ The last of my letters for key postal voters should have arrived.

Two Heat Factors Ltd vehicles parked in the protected cycle lane on Duddingston Rd West today, and another works vehicle between them. These protected cycle lanes are not perfect but they’re essential for those of us nervous of speeding close passing drivers.

Diagram for transport day at #COP26, where electric cars are the main focus of the agenda.

Here's my article about who we are, why we're trapped, why we are heading for planetary collapse, and what we must do to prevent it. It might not be saying much, but I think this is the best thing I've written. https://t.co/l9aLVivMZt

⚠️NATURAL IMMUNITY versus VACCINES—Which is stronger? Let’s compare reinfection breakthroughs vs vaccine breakthroughs: ➡️Natural immunity is **MUCH weaker than vaccine** protection. By how much? HUGE—Vaccine is 📌9x stronger in May, 📌2x stronger during #DeltaVariant.🧵 #COVID19

The headline and data visualization that will go down in history as the leading explanation for America's failure to lead global vaccination, but instead leaving its people highly vulnerable to spread covid, get hospitalized and die.

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

I get told frequently by Conservative MPs that the public aren’t bothered about private companies running NHS services and making a profit.

I don’t think this is correct. If you would like profit-making to be removed from the NHS, pls RT.

Let’s see!

Amazing week in the #Pyrenees with @BikeBasque - amazing scenery and a superb support team!

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

TODAY: we’re in Court battling Government over millions of pounds of unusable PPE and the fast track ‘VIP lane’ for political connections.

They’d rather we weren’t paying attention. Help spread the word. https://t.co/6Ts29Wd2Pj

[Action Vision Zero @ActionVZ]

Really good article and interview here with @AndyCoxDCS, calling for changes to sentencing and public attitudes to #RoadCrime. Those who speed "should understand that by driving at high speed they were “weaponising” a vehicle." #RoadDanger
