Relatedly, we don't talk enough about how Fairfuel UK brag about keeping £200bn from the UK Treasury at a time public services are underfunded

@anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social - The government wouldn’t have needed to increase the bus fare cap that has raised your constituents‘ bus tickets by 40% if there was a political will for even a modest increase in fuel duty. There’s an abundance of £££ - why do we take it from the wrong people??

Stange how THIS incident isn’t “cycle attacks car”. #motonormativity

Did you know there’s a UK wide phone number you can ring if you’re walking alone at night and want someone on the phone to talk to to help you feel safer? strutsafe.org

"An Australian man who was detained upon arrival at Los Angeles airport and deported back to Melbourne says United States border officials told him it was due to his writing on pro-Palestine protests by university students" www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Who'd have ever thought a system designed to fail would do so? www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Very disappointed in this writing. Shocking.

Out for a pint and a burger with my dad for father's day. Little local centre and pub cluster. Great vibes, shame about the cars. They're all parked on yellows, that space really should be a pedestrianised square...

Not quite what I’d call prioritising #ActiveTravel We just wanted to go for a swim, and we’ve ended up campaigning again!!

Good afternoon to nearly everyone

More proof to NEVER visit the USA whilst it's under dictatorship of the Orange twat!!

Frog Bikes sees a 35% reduction in emissions per bike cyclingindustry.news/frog-bikes-s... UK manufacturer of children’s bicycles Frog Bikes has unveiled its latest Impact Report, showcasing its year of action in the battle against climate change.

I spent the afternoon having a meal with my parents as it's Father's day at Mersea Barns & got to take their dog Laika for a short walk on the beach which is something I don't often do & do miss having a dog & not something I can commit to really.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Welp, the verdict is in… Trump’s parade is a $40 million taxpayer-funded flop. A waste. A total dud, and he’s not looking happy about it. Actually, no one is. A fascist cosplay gone wrong.

The anti trans to anti abortion pipeline is so predictable. It was never about women's rights. It's about removing body autonomy. We aren't human beings to them. We're a resource that must conform and reproduce itself to keep the wheels turning.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

After Liverpool, it's worth saying it plainly. Cars are the most accessible weapons in the world. Common, deadly and legally fuzzy. You can injure or kill with intent, neglect or incompetence... often with fewer consequences than using a traditional weapon.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join. Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard” It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.

This family will wish they had acted when the mother in law ends up killing someone. That is what is at stake. That's the "script". www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Why wait until they're in their 70s? Should be regularly retested from the moment they've passed their driving test.

“To Washington D.C., June 14, 2025, where Donald Trump celebrated 79 years of draft-dodging … with the biggest show of military force on US soil since last weekend.”

Shrink from it? He can hardly wait to deliver for his investors.

And so it goes on and on...

Fight the “devastating” plans to ban young disabled people from vital elements of Universal Credit benefits www.specialneedsjungle.com/fight-plans-...

Incredible.

Remember this? “Paris voters opted in a referendum to close 500 more city streets to cars, making way for pedestrians, bikers & greenery. The plan…will expand on a green push by Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social that has already seen 300 streets planted and cleared of cars since 2020.” Leadership.

The BBC drool over a novelty powered motorcycle. But wouldn't dream of broadcasting a film of a person riding a bicycle without that person wearing a helmet. www.facebook.com/share/r/16EU...

April 20, 1939: A massive military parade attended by hundreds of thousands of spectators is held in Berlin for the Führer's 50th birthday. The lavish spectacle is designed to wow the domestic audience, intimidate foreign observers, and prepare the nation psychologically for the coming war.

Another Facebook memory reminder today from 25yrs ago, where I got to meed Charlie Dimmock dressed up as a Mermaid. She was opening up a newly built Aqua section in the pet dept of a garden centre. Was a pleasure to meet her.

Heaven forbid motorists should be inconvenienced.
