#Merseyfail has banned non-folding e-bikes from its trains and stations. We asked Merseyrail to meet and share the evidence, they said no. We’re challenging the ban via our Cyclists’ Defence Fund. Help us bin the ban: cyclinguk.org/merseyfail

@fborocyclist My close pass submissions to Surrey in 2024/25 all had some kind of action taken, so I will submit with solid evidence.

My top tip to stay cool. Drape an old light coloured sheet down the OUTSIDE of your South and West facing windows then jam the window to hold the cloth in place. Make it double if it’s a thin sheet. A bit of a faff. but cheap and incredibly effective

@SW_Help the salt spreader gets an entire hall to live in all year, but the seats are out in the rain so I can’t even sit down at Byfleet & New Haw 😔

@francesca_kms It frustrates me that Google always assumes you’ll walk to the station. If you could tell it you’re cycling (or multi-mode) you could make better decisions. Also, while we’re at it, add airport transfer times, security and waiting into the flight times.

Many politicians back 20mph “outside schools” or "where vulnerable people are". But people don’t teleport. They need safe journeys, not just safe destinations. Plot schools, shops, crashes, care homes on a map + the answer is obvious: 20mph should be the default in urban areas.

A Restore Britain Government would back British drivers. How? Raise the speed limit on motorways to 80mph. Remove all 20mph zones, other than those outside schools or areas with vulnerable individuals. Our current 70 mph speed limit was implemented decades ago, for a

@jamiezerofour @LizJWalter @Westminster_LCC You’re right, it doesn’t. So how do we change that? Compulsory retests?

@josephkazUK @GNetworkComms It seems that @GNetworkComms don’t use twitter any longer. Have you followed up elsewhere? I wonder if they had a deal to pay @CamdenCouncil to make good?

Twenty million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. Today the number may be zero. Not because Iran mined the water. Not because a tanker was hit. Because Lloyd’s of London picked up the phone. War risk underwriters began canceling policies for strait

@MartinSLewis Get an IFA as early as possible. It seems like they cost a lot, but they shine a light on your situation which can make an incredible difference.

A new public fountain has appeared in central London, but look closer & you’ll see that it’s a actually a fountain of filth. The water is black, the human victims of the sewage crisis are vomitting streams of liquid, whilst surmounted by a smug water executive with a briefcase stuffed with cash. The fountain commemorates one of the biggest environmental crimes in British history, where water companies stole tens of billions of pounds that was supposed to be spent on our sewage system, gave it to shareholders and executives and illegally poured billions of lites of sewage into our rivers, lakes and seas instead. The channel 4 docudrama about the sewage crisis, #dirtybusiness, starts at 9pm tonight. Watch it, get sad, get angry and then join the thousands of people around the country demanding an end to the sewage crisis.

@ZoeFranklinLD driving is a privilege, not a right, so why don’t we have permanent bans for people like this who aren’t changing their behaviour? Can you support this?

🚨In June last year, this vehicle was prohibited after an #SPCasualtyReduction officer discovered multiple dangerous defects, following a short pursuit. Original post: tinyurl.com/dcpjaumt Today, the same #SPCasualtyReduction officer, stopped the vehicle in Walton-on-Thames.

The number of murders recorded in London dropped to its lowest level per capita since records began. There were 97 homicides in the capital in 2025, down 36 per cent from 153 in 2019. 2025 saw a homicide rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people - safer than comparable global cities such as New York at 2.8, Paris (1.6), Toronto (1.6), Berlin (3.2), Los Angeles (5.6), Chicago (11.7), and Philadelphia (12.3).

Hi @Ocado - my dad is elderly/frail/has dementia and he’s just told me that your delivery guy often unpacks his shopping for him, without being asked to. I don’t know if this is normal service for you, but I think it’s brilliant. I’d love for him to be recognised for it. 🥇

If you want to improve productivity then you certainly don't want to arbitrarily kill or maim people on roads. Its a huge cost to society. 20mph/30kmh hardly impacts journey times in real world traffic and makes urban/village roads far more attractive for healthy walking and cycling.

Ambulances are a good thing aren't they? Saving lives,etc. But they are very expensive. So why waste them on the 15,000 casualties on England's 30mph roads which could be avoided if UK Gov followed Wales/ Scotland by setting 20mph as an urban/village norm.20splenty.org/gb2024stats
