@OfficialBHAFC even on the stag, he represents.

We've got car hire and cycle hire - and now in one part of west London, you can hire an electric buggy to get around.

NEW: we need to talk about the dire state of British transport infrastructure.

Of the 52 UK cities with 250k+ people, only 8 (15%) have a tram or metro.

In France & Germany it’s 80%, Poland is on 60%.

Even *American* cities are better served, and the US hates public transit!

@SkySportsF1 @MBrundleF1 It’s been an amazing season, which makes it all the more farcical that the rain hit Belgian Grand Prix is having such a big impact. Max should be level on victories and 5 points back, unable to take the risks he’s taking knowing the he’ll win if both crash.

@MitchellBroadb3 @1davidmartin @BBCTomEdwards Agree, the plans for splitting out SE metro services is pretty well developed and was even supported by the previous Mayor…. Good doc here on the strategic case https://t.co/uCv9UHhgCS

London's e-scooter rental trial launches next month. We'll be looking at how they might help reduce car use for local journeys. Safety will be paramount - with speeds capped at 12.5mph and all riders having to take a safety course before they hire one.

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"

I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.

Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

Arise Sir @LewisHamilton. Comfortably one of the, if not the, most successful British Sports people of all time.

[Joanne McCartney @JoanneMcCartney]

.@SadiqKhan reduced TfL’s deficit from £1.5bn under Boris Johnson, to £200million - a 71% reduction.

Don’t fall for Tory lies. They can never be trusted with our public services.

When Johnson was Mayor he agreed to the Government cutting TfL’s £700million a yr operating grant

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Remember the last episode of Friends where Phoebe causes widespread panic on a plane by shouting that there’s a problem with the “left phalange”?

That, in legal terms, is what the Attorney General is doing by citing Miller.

The crowing is embarrassing to watch.

[Emmanuel Acho @EmmanuelAcho]

Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

[jonn elledge is mainly on bluesky @JonnElledge]

The complete absence of reaction to this one is a reminder of how few people even remember that Bexley exists.

[TfL @TfL]
