@ZoeJardiniere Hard to imagine them fairing well against the NHS in the queue for govt cash.

@APPGCW Cyclists could be fined £500 on the spot!? What’s the equivalent for a car parked on a footpath, or carelessly crossing a cycle lane - each more risky and dangerous than the bike example?

12/ We urge the U.S. to uphold the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which established a direct obligation to defend Ukraine’s borders in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons.

These pictures of @ZelenskyyUa leaving Downing Street show the closeness of his relationship with the PM and the UK. The contrast is so stark compared to the treatment he received at the White House less than 24 hours ago that it defies belief.

[Cllr Ade Chapmanlaw 🔶 @adechapmanlaw]

Really interesting data coming out of Wales.

The number of RTC is down

Severity of RTC is down

Total insurance payout is down

Average insurance payout is up because the smaller low speed RTC have disappeared.

Car insurance in Wales has reduced by £50 relative to England.

@elonmusk If you’re struggling to keep up, just ask Grok.

[Nicholas Stevens @nagstevens]

@elonmusk No.
On hour 1 of the invasion, if weapons were downed, the presumption would have been a Russian walkover of Ukraine. That has not happened, and more - Russia has lost control of some of its own territory.

[Nicholas Stevens @nagstevens]

@ggreenwald That’s a false equivalence. There are examples of broadcast stations which make no effort to comply with local regulations and get banned - eg RT Russia Today had its licence revoked in the U.K. Is Russia now justified to invade here?

Seven storeys. Nobody minds.

Much more of London should be built up like this.

[Philip Pullman @PhilipPullman]

It's like a nineteenth-century novel. The old man is insane, but no-one dares to say so, and all around Musk and his followers gather like wolves, eager to snatch what they can while his wealth and power last. It will end in rage and ruin.

Embankment, London: It is time to take one of these unused car lanes and use it to double the width of the cycle lane, which is exceptionally busy every day now

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

In 2024, the average speed of a car in central London was around 9 mph.

In 1908, the average speed of a horse-drawn carriage was around 10 mph.

Average speed for cyclists 12-14mph

Bicycle for the win

In our plan last year, Britain Remade called for the same idea.

In essence, let's replicate the New Zealand model where mid-rise development is automatically approved in our most unaffordable places.

[Nicholas Stevens @nagstevens]

Build baby build. At least it’s a start. More planning reform needed to limit impact of NIMBYs

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: The Government is banning regulators from requiring developers to mitigate environmental damage before construction begins in order to boost housebuilding

Instead, developers will pay into to a national 'nature restoration' fund to offset any potential harm

@sussexmarco @Ed_Miliband £175 for a Victorian house, usually heated 7 days a week (wfh). @OVOEnergy and Hive zoned radiator control, and a new boiler.

Prominence of Lycra lads in the uk is a symptom of the underdeveloped cycling network.

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

56% of Dutch cyclists are women. Why?

The mobility networks benefit all types of trips: to school, shops, friends, etc. They physically separate bike lanes, calm traffic and prioritize public transport on roads and rails. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2022

@ScottAdamsSays That’s the thing about science, you don’t need to trust it - take a look at the receipts.

[Nicholas Stevens @nagstevens]

@snowmaker @catheryn_li I think there’s a better champion use-case.

Restaurants in London don’t seem to use phones… it’s all booking app based.

But… insurance renewals - those MFs bump rates by 40% a year and then offer you a discount once you complain. I have about 5 insurance policies.
