Tory MPs rushed back from a Conservative Winter Ball fundraiser charging £35,000 for dinner with Sunak and £22,000 karaoke with Truss to vote for poorer homeowners to sell their homes for social care after paying tax rises.

Welcome to Boris Johnson’s undercutting Britain.

When you build safe cycling infrastructure, you’re providing people with the dignity of choice and levelling an often unbalanced transport system.

A person on a €3 hire bicycle weighing 20kg can outpace a person in an €80,000 SUV weighing 2,600kg - and be safe while doing it.

It's a rich man's world, especially if you're the UK chancellor. My column in today's @SunScotNational

I'll tell you who is worse. @PimlicoPlumbers who charged my neighbours £600 and condemned their central heating system. They then called @BritishGas who sent somebody out, adjusted the boiler, and it was working again. No charge.

Being knocked off your bike and having your phone aggressively stolen doesn’t apparently constitute a crime and the driver was free to leave. A week later, this is something I still can’t get my head around @NYorksPolice

[allison darling @ajdc123]

If two other drivers hadn’t stopped (and also seen the phone theft) I’m certain he’d have driven off and left me alone in the road. To top it off @NYorksPolice (who were called by one of the witnesses) said they shouldn’t have been called, we should have ‘just swapped details’ …

It is our intention to close the JustGiving page on 31 August with a view to presenting a cheque for the sum raised in Stornaway at the start of October. Let’s see if we can break £14k before then. Christina Mackenzie is fundraising for Alzheimer Scotland https://t.co/nMrNVHiaAH

Still 4 hours to go until ⁦@UnwinSophie⁩ & ⁦@jenny_holl⁩ open their account for ⁦@ParalympicsGB⁩ in the velodrome. 1 kilo - 60 odd secs of all out effort in perfect tandem. I’m a tad excited already …. ⁦@emilybholl⁩ not impressed!
