Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Foreign Leader Favourability Ratings amongst British Voters: 🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelenskyy Favourable: 64% Unfavourable: 16% NET: +48% 🇺🇸 Donald Trump Favourable: 22% Unfavourable: 73% NET: -51% 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin Favourable: 4% Unfavourable: 89% NET: -85% Via @YouGov, 16-17 Feb.

The Hovenring is Eindhoven's spectacular circular cycling bridge. The cable-stayed bridge offers an exciting crossover. With its impressive pylon, 72 metre diameter, thin deck and conspicuous lighting, the suspended roundabout is a landmark for the city. dutchcycling.nl/know...

Why not seriously look at reopening Steventon Railway Station as a park and ride and get shoppers into Didcot that way?

The root cause of congestion in London is the excessive number of private cars + the inefficiency of travelling in a vehicle that is, on average, 1.8 m wide x 4 m long, statistically transporting 1 adult 60% of the time It's not cycle lanes It's not 20 mph zones It's not LTNs

And that 30% is just Jacob Rees-Mogg and his children.

The only drawback of 20mph zones is that there aren't enough of them Child survival rates increase The chance of being killed in an RT accident decreases. Overall accident rate lowers. Insurance premiums fall 👇

My letter in today's Guardian. Just asking, like. But I think we know the answer.

Someone please change the locks at the Oval Office

Congestion charging verifiably reduces emissions and drives investment in public transport using the very price signal that free marketeers claim to support so, naturally, @telegraphnews.bsky.social opposes it with scare stories. This is nothing less than naked fossil fuel industry propaganda.

Cleanliness is the fundamental basis upon which the good city rests. Without cleanliness, there can be no orderliness. Without orderliness, there can be no stability. Without stability, there can be no long-termism. Without long-termism, there can be no public luxury.

Couldn’t have put it any better myself @cyclinguk.bsky.social

No form of urban transport is as resilient, sustainable, or convenient as the bicycle.

Just to be clear, driving is heavily subsidised and will continue to be so that people keep purchasing products. Car dependency

Just what a village conservation area needs on a mild afternoon @yplac.bsky.social @badlyparkedox.bsky.social #goringonthames

Birmingham wants to be a 20mph city. Is your town next? www.thetimes.com/article/7fc1...

Love this!

More than 90% of the U.K population live in suburbs. So, we’ll never take large numbers of cars off the road unless we connect every suburb in the land to the nearest train and bus station with fully segregated cycle lanes. This is well within our capabilities. Let’s do it.

Wales’s 20mph speed limit saves lives and money. So why has it become a culture-war battlefield?

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧵

Elon Musk's propaganda site is positively full of puce-faced men screaming that 'they stand with farmers' who don't want to pay more in tax to fund public services. Don't believe a word of it. Most of these right wingers voted to destroy British farming when they backed Brexit.

Canada is going to build a wall and the Americans are gonna pay for it. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...
