Heat pumps & insulation would cut living costs more than new oil fields Isn't it strange how Andy Burnham's "pragmatic" approach to the North Sea involves doing exactly what fossil fuel lobbyists want? No party is serious about dealing with the cost of living unless they also tackle climate change

@worldbollardassoc.bsky.social . Pencil bollards are my bollard of the day.

📢Today Google has added motor fuel prices to the maps app so you can see how expensive driving is. 🚲Not wanting to be left out we have been around the city to check on the cost of fuelling a cycle and produced our own map. 🎉It's good news - fuelling a cycle is still free everywhere.

Cutting traffic cuts vandalism, burglary and violence, research shows Researchers analysed data from tens of thousands of households across England, Scotland and Wales to examine how changes in traffic levels relate to how safe people feel in their communities. www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article...

Here's an easy way to show the wonderful volunteers of the RNLI that those right wing numpties absolutely do not represent everyone. 38d.gs/jpcf

All you fuckers that drive anti cycling narrative, you have blood on your hands. However minor your demonizing, dehumanizing contribution, have a think if you could ever have done better.

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

Busy traffic, harassment and unsafe routes can leave women feeling that the streets they ride on are ‘Not Designed For Me’. That needs to change! 👉 Add your name to our letter to the Prime Minister & call for safer cycling for women: https://action.cyclinguk.org/page/198980/petition/1

Have you seen my snooker table, Doris? No farmer Griffiths. I haven't seen any snooker tables at all this morning.

Also, though, the stats showed, for the period counted, 78k cyclist casualties and 60k of those involved a car. If you want to make cycling safer, ban cars

But apparently floating bus stops are a danger ... www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

I used to be a vehicular cyclist, "just enforce driving rules better" then I listened to people and thought. I then realized that a key part of becoming confident in traffic was growing up with the option to just cycle without thinking about traffic.

"Many of the thousands afflicted each year by criminal driving felt that “the harm they had suffered mattered less” than that from other serious crimes" - this double-standard is exactly what we called out in our work on motonormativity. Road crime is crime www.theguardian.com/law/2026/aug...

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

Following weeks of work by many people, West Midlands Police have dropped charges and agreed to reimburse the owner of a legal e-cycle they seized and destroyed. Our Campaigns and Policy Lead, Kate, shares why policies like this are so damaging for Disabled people with the BBC. tinyurl.com/y6yckp83

A quick word on science literacy. If you are able to grasp that reducing man-made air pollution can impact global climates, then you MUST be able to grasp that man-made greenhouse emissions can do the same. You cannot "trust the science" on one and not the other 21/

When will Nigel Farage apologize for posting a picture of an offensive t-shirt calling for his death to his 2.3 million followers on X (10 times the number that might have seen it on Zack Polanski's post)?

Better manifesto than the parody candidate.

"Overall carbon emissions have increased" in the UK, because of Net Zero, Kemi Badenoch repeatedly tells the BBC, to no pushback. Just completely untrue

"sneaky assault on civil liberties”. Fuck these dinosaurs. How is driving safely and considerately an attack on anything other than ill manners. Driving is not a right, driving fast certainly is not.

£5,000,000 doesn't cure insecurity

Hi AI, you know how you can help? By fucking off until I ask you for help, instead of jumping around, waving your hands in front of the content I'm perfectly capable of understanding by myself.

I think that a freelance comedy writer will have a better idea of the concerns of the electorate than a multi millionaire hedgefund manager. But we’ve convinced ourselves that being an “ordinary working person” is about being a thug and a bigot, more than it’s about being a person who works.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Didn't realize that I lived so close to DC ...

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?
