@guythomasholder @PPushbike @thespikyclub @peterwalker99 @guythomasholder another disabled “exception” here. My e-bike gives me autonomy, takes my car off the road for many journeys, and frees my partner from chauffeur duties. 30 healthy years on regular cycles, and now “celebrating” 10 years with severe illness on an e-bike.

Naturally, we could not improve on the pitch-perfect response by protesters yesterday to @SuellaBraverman
- it was both hilarious & powerful. But we figured we'd try to commemorate it somehow through music (tho not a shanty). Here's to the silent treatment. Long may it continue.

@Fig_Oxford @jcniala @samwskinner @GreenpeaceUK @luhc 174K is surely an underestimate as @Fig_Oxford mentioned somewhere. It’s tricky to count Cambridge’s waiting list due to various managers double counting. @camcitco don’t have all the data so the figure they reported is merely a lower bound.

[Dave Fox @xof_evad]

@Fig_Oxford @jcniala @samwskinner @GreenpeaceUK @luhc Great work! I looked at Cambridge, in 2009 & again in 2021. Waiting list grew 129% & tenancies grew 56% ie. huge increase in overall demand. https://t.co/xs6FQXXOdi

@toadmeister Prof. Anderson states what is necessary to avoid global catastrophe. This is indisputable physics, not politics.
It is clear that capitalism fails to do what is necessary. So some very difficult decisions must be made. This is politics, but it derives from indisputable physics.

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵

@AndrewS08657357 @hwallop @ofgem Mine neither, but I am accessing the scheme through @HUGOEnergyApp. If you have a smart meter, you can too.

Out with the cycle lane gritting team on the Chisholm Trail tonight! Fun fact, they don't actually grit, they use a liquid brine solution towed behind on a trailer. Stay safe and wrap up warm out there, it's very cold! #ActiveTravel #GotGrit #Bike @CambsCC @GreaterCambs

I've added my name to a letter telling the Prime Minister it is time to protect nursing to protect the public. Will you add yours? Without nursing staff, there is no #NHS. https://t.co/h9S904VhnK
