The people driving benefit greatly from bike infrastructure. Imagine how clogged the street would be if all those people on bikes were in cars instead.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month to all celebrating ❤️

Plural?

[Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson]

@jonathan_gblt @ConstructionEnq Which will presumably pass to the new unitary authority?

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

From now on, I will be posting a campaign update around teatime every day to let you know where I’m up to.

Here’s the first one - hope you find it interesting. Enjoy the evening sun everyone!

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

No it is the result of 14 years of austerity when roads, schools and hospitals were not maintained. As in everything if you don’t maintain then there is a bigger cost to sort it out.

[Richard Wellings @RichardWellings]

Basic road maintenance is deliberately being neglected as part of the agenda to restrict travel. They always find the money to impose anti-car measures. There is no "pothole puzzle" - they're doing it on purpose. https://t.co/gkYGfoxNXm

@markrwilliamson I spent an hour trying to find a space in Car Park 1. Surely Car Park 2 would be closer to the station but Greater Anglia suggesting parking at Addenbrookes is against the whole rationale for Cambridge South Station.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

One of the most effective bits of political communication on the left I’ve seen in a long time. A message and a powerful messenger.

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

Great interview and a rising star

[Nick Robinson @bbcnickrobinson]

Want to understand why a rising ministerial star turned on @Keir_Starmer this week? Labour MP, economist & former civil servant @Miatsf tells Political Thinking on @BBCSounds why she resigned, why government doesn’t work, how to handle the bond markets as well as telling the story of her life as a refugee whose family came here from Liberia

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

@CambridgeIndy And they should be fined. We live in a democracy and today is when we vote for change if that’s what we want not by flouting the law.

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

Interesting comment from Technical Director Marcus Flitcroft '"There will be an opportunity to hold and progress discussions with released players once a new manager is confirmed, and we move forward the building of our squad for the 2026/27 season.'

[Exeter City FC @OfficialECFC]

📝 Following the conclusion of the 2️⃣5️⃣/2️⃣6️⃣ season we can confirm our retained and released list ⬇️

We wish all departing players the very best in the next stage of their careers, and thank them for their contributions over the years ❤️

@PhilRodgers Interesting that one of my achievements is being used by the Lib Dems candidate

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

@kd_4002 @OfficialECFC Rule seems to be if less than 50% of top 2 divisions are not played at 3 then blackout doesn’t apply

[Paul Gronow @bluebirdblogger]

As an exiled Bluebird now living in Exeter I especially enjoyed this one!

I’d highly recommend visiting St James Park, Exeter if you get the chance.

It feels like football before it became all about the money and corporate.

[Daniel Storey @danielstorey85]

Exeter's goalkeeper scored in the 96th minute to give them a shot at staying up.

Harrogate scored in the 99th minute to give the smallest club a shot at staying in the EFL.

Rochdale scored in the 99th minute to keep the National League title race alive.

Football, pretty good

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

Assume he would use the same excuse if speeding above a 30mph limit or any other speed limit.

[Kelvin MacKenzie @kelvmackenzie]

Psychiatrist Dr Gary Duffield has picked up 9 points by doing 22mph twice and 25mph twice ( one speed awareness course) in London.
At 67 he tells The Telegraph he’s no boy racer pointing out his Prius doesn’t have cruise control and you can’t spend all your time looking at the speedo.
The sooner there’s a decent mayor for London the faster the speed limit will return to 30mph.

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

There’s enough confusion about what councils do without Lib Dems campaigning on County Council roads that they are responsible for when there is a City Council election that has no say in potholes,

[Phil Rodgers @PhilRodgers]

Lib Dem campaign leaflet on potholes.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Maximum monthly State Pension.

Sweden £1,373
Belgium £1,338
Netherlands £1,322
France £1,254

Guess which is unaffordable?

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute betrayal exposed! CNN's top journalist Christiane Amanpour confirms Iran and mediators were making real progress in peace talks, but Washington and Israel used the negotiations as a distraction to launch surprise wars the very next day. Total deception!

[Mike Sargeant @sargemike]

Similar story in Cambridge. @TheGreenParty are the NIMBY party.

[Emily Thornberry @EmilyThornberry]

The idea that the Greens are the party of housing is nonsense.

Since 2018, they've opposed the building of 658 social homes in Islington.

@IslingtonLabour is committed to building more housing, and to continuing our ambitious buy back scheme.
