Cars are getting 1cm wider every two years. That may not sound much, but over time it adds up, and they're showing no signs of slowing down 😬 That's #carspreading. Our new campaign is calling on city leaders to make parking policies fairer by varying costs based on the size of a car. Why? 🧵1/8

This lunchtime, cycling down a narrow road on my way to Lordship Lane , an SUV pulled out from a side street and accelerated towards me straddling the white line in the middle of the road. Dangerous, arrogant, frightening #carspreading newsbywire.com/rise-of-cars...

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

Thinking I might get tickets to the Libertines next year. Their new album which I finally listened to last night is pretty decent. Anyone else keen on a trip to Margate? youtu.be/Idv8E-cg-us?...

Technological developments are out-stripping our capacity to tackle violence against women and girls. Sexually-explicit deepfakes are becoming an increasingly worrying issue - in and out of schools. So, I am today calling on the Government to ban nudifying tools and apps.

Keir Starmer: “change must mean nothing less than national renewal. A change that's felt in the bones of a nation and in the lives and in the pockets of working people. Public services reformed and renewed. An economy where growth benefits than many. A sense of hope restored.”
