The Daily Rothno is a paving slab in the City of London

Faced with the challenge of retaining his seat despite the addition of thousands of Tory voters from the old Penrith & the Border constituency, you can see why Lib Dem Tim has asked himself: "What would a Tory MP do?" His answer? Build bigger roads. But the evidence base is thin: a quick thread.

Yep, with the cringe turned up to eleven.

There's a climate aspect to this too: In 2023, @carbonbrief.org crunched the numbers on the impact of the fuel duty cuts and freezes on the UK's carbon emissions. Their analysis found that UK road transport emissions are as much as 24% higher than they would have been without fuel duty cuts.

Trump blew between $25m and $45m of taxpaying American's money on his birthday parade. Humiliatingly, numbers fell well short of the hoped-for 200,000. By contrast, millions of people protested against him across the US, with @altnps.bsky.social estimating numbers at north of 11 million people.

The world. #art #fineart #contemporaryart #expressionism #kunst #artwork

Loving your work, anonymous sign-waving guy.

Fair.

Wow.

"Barely any requests were made by residents living on any of the roads concerned, with almost all of the requests made by people who travel through rather than live in the area." Transl: I don't care about your kids or your nan, *taps watch* I've got somewhere to be. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good sass. Kudos.

Gusty weather = sad apple tree, in danger of falling over. Temporary fix: garden fork + 5mm prussik cord. Thirsty work; kettle is on.

I asked Lisa to teach me the recipe for her homemade granola. You're welcome.

You love to see it: close pass video SLAPP fails. When one of their team was caught on camera overtaking a cyclist dangerously closely in a van with their company details on it, Cornices Centre boss made a poor decision by suing rather than apologising. Just drive safely. youtu.be/zWueA8na5Qo?...

I ruminate on whether the people inserting untruths into US public health governance are scientifically illiterate, deceitful, or both. To this extent, it doesn't matter: the effect is the same. The US is experiencing an avoidable worsening of public health governance. Got to hope it's temporary.

Dropping like flies: Reform loses nine councillors in six weeks. And counting. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/13/d...

It takes something to appear on TV with Richard Madely, and still manage to be the bigger dickhead. Fair play.

Reform voters less likely to be members of the reality-based community

Next week it is time to #ShowYourStripes again. We encourage everyone to download their warming stripes graphics and use them to start climate conversations on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st June. www.ShowYourStripes.info Graphic: Change in global average temperature from 1850-2024.

These researchers looked at 14,800 people who relocated within Bradford during 2021. People without a prescription at the start of the study who relocated to an area with more particle air pollution had an 11% greater risk of developing a new mental health problem, compared with the other movers.

Unfair. That’s her second proper policy. She has also committed to scrapping VAT on private school fees. Finding two popular taxes is really quite difficult. Promising to scrap them both is…a choice.

Hilarious indeed. A bit less hilarious is the fact that Badenoch received a donation from a Chevron board member during her leadership campaign and, more recently, her party accepted £50,000 from the chair Net Zero Watch, the campaign arm of the GWPF, the UK's foremost climate science denial group.

Thrilled to see this important research out in the world! 🚶‍♀️🌆 We loved being part of the project exploring how bold street experiments can help build car-free, people-friendly cities. Find out more👇

New research: Regular car users took part in a car free living trial by @wearepossible.bsky.social across 4 cities in England - Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds & London - and Briony and her colleagues interviewed participants to explore their experiences of the trial and the travel choices they made.

The US having a completely normal one, I see.
