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.

Charing Cross Road, pedestrianised today. Glorious. Because whenever you take cars away, cities get better.

The grim thing is that normally most in Westminster wouldn’t have batted an eyelid at this. It’s only because Brianna’s mother was in Parliament it’s being picked up. Trans people have slowly become the butt of political jokes under several PMs. This should be a wake up call.

Taylor Swift: while I bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief

Also Taylor Swift: shake it off 🤪

Stockholm’s 🇸🇪 1-Minute-City is about so much more than traffic calming.

It’s about nurturing social cohesion by putting human interactions back at the centre of communities and developing the full potential of streets👇�

Withering from the IMF on Truss’ economic plans. Warns against stoking inequality and calls for the government to rethink its plans.

That’s it. It’s over for him.

With all the red lights flashing at the state of the UK’s democracy, I’ve seen it said we shouldn’t assume the next general election will even happen. The issue, though, isn’t whether an election will happen (it will). It’s whether it will be free and fair (it won’t). THREAD

Winners: unprotected departments, working Universal Credit claimants, Rose drinkers, anyone who had a bet on an early general election. Losers: @hmtreasury (given that if @OBR_UK turn out to be too optimistic they'll struggle to undo today)

The church warden has overslept apparently so just cast my vote in a car. #LocalElections2021

No democracy can survive without annoying and disruptive protest.

This is a section of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, ordered by @pritipatel following the BLM and XR demos last year. It comes to Parliament on Monday, and MPs will vote on it on Tuesday.

It must be opposed.

Weird feeling. After 10.5 years and roughly £21,000 of debt- I finally paid off the last instalment of my student loan today.

Next month, for the first time- I’ll receive my full post tax salary, for the first time since I graduated.

How can you have a fair trial if the jurors are co-conspirators?

[Harry @harryoscdarl]

@ian_bennett_ Think I’ll leave that one for someone else :)

Lukashenka's regime is building concentration camps for protesters. One of the contractors revealed some images. It was supposed to accommodate 2000 detainees. I can't believe this is happening in 2021.

Congratulations to my friend, President @JoeBiden! This is your time.

If anyone says "Given the last few years, are there any things that still make you proud to be British?" I have to reply, "It's a dwindling list, but Nigella Lawson calmly choosing Bitter Orange Tart on the day Trump leaves office would be one of them."
