The absolute terror of car free 15 minute cities

Hackney Cyclist@hackneycyclist.bsky.social

Removing motor traffic from city centre streets creates places where people linger, relax, dine and enjoy being outside. Places where families can safely ride their bikes, people of all ages can get safely around, and where streets are dominated by people, not cars.

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

JD Vance flies to Hungary to interfere with the election, while complaining that people who haven't flown to Hungary to interfere with the election are interfering with the election. I doubt he'd know where to feed himself if it wasn't for his mouth flapping all day long. www.theguardian.com/uk

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UKโ€™s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didnโ€™t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companiesโ€ฆ is that it?

Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry. The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale. Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs. 1/2

Reports that Labour will demand a higher standard of English from migrants, comparable with A level standard and able to write about complex issues. I wonder if they think the 240,000 Brits in Dubai should learn Arabic and discuss complex issues with it?

Westminster chooses to set the price of electricity using the cost of the last unit of electricity needed to meet demand. This is usually from gas-powered plants, as they are usually the most expensive. Scotland's electricity could be so much cheaper. public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

You can't get a council house because no one is building them. Your wages are terrible because the billionaires profits have to be record. As above for the rents. And house prices are sky high because of all the landlords. None of it is to do with immigrants.

Reading the SM posts of RFK Jrโ€™s mad anti-vax supporters is a statisticianโ€™s nightmare. Theyโ€™re all wielding graphs showing the rise in vaccine use and the rise in autism as evidence that one causes the other. You could do a similar chart with the increase in ice cream flavours and autism.

Yup. It feels cruel to deny deluded Brexiters their tiny sliver of a โ€˜winโ€™ but, on the other hand, fuck โ€˜em. Weakening a country *before* an attack like this is an act of obvious treachery. We would, by any measure, be better off *in* the the EU *with* the 20% basic tariff rate.

Those trying to justify Labours cuts by saying โ€œwell, those people will be back in work soonโ€ need to realise MANY ON UC ARE IN WORK. Theyโ€™re subsidised by welfare because their employers donโ€™t pay enough and probably make huge profits whilst evading tax as the โ€œparty of workersโ€ looks the other way

They stayed silent because it wasnโ€™t their problem. Thatโ€™s how injustice wins, not by force, but by the quiet approval of those who look away. The system doesnโ€™t need to break you. It just needs you to do nothing while it breaks others. And when itโ€™s your turn, no one will be left to fight for you.

It's worse than that, because it's rooted in a lie. A lie that taxes pay for govt spending. It doesn't. Never has. The UK govt has a unique currency that it can issue at will (how else would you get the money to pay tax in the 1st place?!). Invest in resources, and they can afford *anything at all*.
