Entertainingly accurate final ofm colum from Jay Rayner. #foodsky #theguardian www.theguardian.com/food/2025/fe...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Why have we been so slow to respond to the populist destruction of our democracies and Russian aggression? Because they’re at war with us, but we’re still acting like its peacetime. Read this furious piece. It’s free. Includes recs for today’s summit. https://briefing.article7.eu/p/war-and-peace

An important thread about Ukraine and European security from the former minister of foreign affairs of Lithuania. Worth reading. Europe must act fast. Not only for its own security but also for the climate. Russian and American fossil fuel interests cannot be allowed to dictate European priorities.

Three years on, car-free Capel Street: “We need to be able to make these bold moves” After three years of a car-free Capel Street, central area councillors have expressed a broad consensus that it has been a massive success with only some limited issues. A written report presented to councillors…

Quite a good article on what we, as a country, need to do. TLDR we need to become a grown up serious country. #Irishpolitics #speirgorm After Storm Éowyn, Ireland must do what Sweden did 20 years ago www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Jesus christ. Just pave over the place, then. The absolute state of this. #speirgorm we need wilde life,trees, hedgerows, rivers etc. I knew this government would be a step back, but wow.

Following on from cutting trees to help with climate change, we're going to let landlords fix the housing crisis. Its not even 10am on Monday morning and the government are on it. #speirgorm

Ah yes...in order to combat climate change and meet our legally binding goals re carbon and tree cover, we're going to cut all the trees down. Which act as natural wind breaks and help drain the land.

Lara Gillespie putting a serious shift (understatement) in the UAE tour. Km0 to the flag helping hold of the peloton for Longo Borghini. #cyclingbluesky #couchpeloton

Is the United States of America falling apart in real-time? Seems like it's all getting a bit coup d'Ă©tat ish. #politics

This should be used in comms/campaigning by local authority active travel teams and the NTA. Loads of these filmed at rush hour from around the country would be such an effective demonstration of the merits of road space reallocation.

Everything is good, everything is fine ... TNT blows up cycling TV coverage with 443% price increase, @jonnylong.bsky.social writes 👇 escapecollective.com/tnt-blows-up...

So is this for Ireland as well? Are we been caught up with the UK? If it is....thats a disaster. I'd really like to point out the WBD that Ireland isn't the UK and where still in Europe. #cyclingbluesky

@nedboulting.bsky.social got you substack email. It may be intentional, but you can edit the price for 1923 club? Just in case it's not.

The answer should be more European cohesion and addressing the rising inequality and financialisation of services and house...but I fear the answer will be more America for Europe, less standards, regulation etc. Ragen/thatcher 2.0 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is quite good, and considering storm Éowyns impact, shows these changes are needed. Climate change is here and ramping up. #speirgorm #climate #Irishpolitics www.jcfj.ie/2025/01/23/r...
