Westminster station -the portal to British government, passed through by 1000s of policymakers every day - almost always offers a good illustration of why TfL & @london.gov.uk need to curb fossil fuel ads on our tubes, trains & buses. BP isn’t advertising here to sell consumers more petrol directly

Again, the point is that these apologies rarely travel as far as the original lie(s). Solidarity and love to my friend and colleague @mothinali.bsky.social, one of the most gentle and kind people I’ve ever met. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Thinking about Harry Webbe’s family and friends as they process this latest post-crash news. Geofencing and speed-limiting hired e-bikes is widely accepted, tech is developing fast, so should we apply the same danger reduction logic to driving cars? www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/s...
Big, burly men that drive to the gym: "You are not going to carry a ladder on a bike..." Me, a quite dainty/small male human:
I’ve hauled a ladder on my own cargo bike, and contractors in the Netherlands do it every single day. The limits of what's possible aren't dictated by the physical capability of the bike, they're dictated entirely by the quality of your infrastructure.
One of those charts that should probably be on the front page of every newspaper/website in the world, local and national
Breaking News! Code UFB!!! For the first time in recorded history, the Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature (SST) is above 30.0°C, reaching a preliminary SST of 30.06°C on October 5th. The Niño 3.4 SST anomaly is now 3.41°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. Everything is not fine.

This would be 'interesting'. I think 30% of UK imported diesel comes from our friends in the USA 👀

There are other ideas for buses, trains and EVs in the package, but obvs fuel duty leads the story. Lads, we can't keep driving to the shops forever 🫠
The comments 😂 Love this website bsky.app/profile/libd...
Petrol and diesel prices are higher than they've been for a long time and people need help now.
electrification is going to eat all of the mess (and create a new mess, in many ways)
Fantastic turnout by campaigners in Liverpool, protesting the Merseyrail e-bike ban. Politicians seem unified... will we see a rethink? I hope so 🤞 Thanks to @cyclinguk.bsky.social for their help 😎
I'm a big fan of these chill videos showing folks getting around by bike in civilised places like 🇳🇱. Yes! You can run errands with a bicycle. We are 50 years behind in the UK but my grandchildren might like to know we made an effort for them.
Don't suppose now is a good time to talk about bicycles is it? Never seems a good time to raise it... 👀 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Have side??? Sorry, meant Havenwise - a cool little app that links to our tariff and heat pump to ensure we pay as little as possible for heating and hot water www.havenwise.co.uk
It did not take a genius to work out that massive companies like VW did not need to reinvent the wheel as they electrified. The Polo and Golf were massively popular for a reason. Ford might eventually realise this as well (Ka, Fiesta, Focus 🤷♂️)

Not long until our next free webinar! On Monday we'll be going through the Local Transport Plan process, and the opportunities for local campaigners... please share! lowtrafficfuture.org.uk/2026/09/03/u...
Something about not interrupting your enemy while they are making a mistake, etc.
Pleased to see Tories are still incapable of learning the lesson that “ending the war on motorists” is not an election winning stance in London, which has the highest walking & cycling rates, lowest car ownership & best public transport of anywhere in Britain. It’s like they don’t know any of this

Very cool - switching from gas to electric induction cuts kitchen temperatures by 10 degrees, cuts hob cleaning times from 24mins to 21 seconds, cuts energy use by 2/3rds (a 9k saving in one pub) and yes - wok hei is still possible www.theguardian.com/environment/...
No mention of improved infrastructure that the council should be delivering. Also: "To help prevent drink driving, users are required to complete an in-app cognitive reaction test before they can begin their journey at night." Great! Now do cars
E-scooter users reminded to stay safe and follow the law www.birkenhead.news/e-scooter-us...

Wow. This is excellent news on a number of fronts, not just carbon (energy access, air quality). China's supply of this fast growing market, is another major missed opportunity for countries like the US, who seem unable to fathom the scale of the export potential here.
OUT TODAY: The take-off in African solar that official statistics can’t yet see 2026 is on track for +45% in solar installations, setting new records in 36 countries. New methodology reveals 3/4 of growth is distributed solar, much of which is missing from official data..🧵
