I find this London-detesting nonsense on the right fascinating. Regardless, the city’s economic & cultural success - which report after report, statistic after statistic confirms continues apace - is what pays our way in the world and is a huge source of our soft power.
Meat, dairy products and plants are among the goods now subject to checks when imported to Britain from the EU, after 3 years and 5 delays. These checks will add an extra £220 fee on all imports, eating the margins of small business owners. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@RossLydall @SadiqKhan @Councillorsuzie It's a bit of a failure of the media that people in general only hear about Susan and Sadiq. Some other candidates with interesting policy & strategy ideas have missed out on exposure. But then, a 2 horse race satisfies the sporting mind - which of the 2 teams/boxers will win?
Maybe if the media actually pointed out that this is in fact wrong a bit more, then maybe we wouldn't be down this path of performative cruelty.

@SadiqKhan @ZoeGarbett @Councillorsuzie @robblackie meet Pru. Pru likes to take the backseat on the #schoolrun, enjoys a lot of attention at the school gates, quick walk in the park after, backseat home. Pru wants you to know that #londonlovescycling #pupslovepedalling 🐩 🐕
This mayoral election is brutal: as polls narrow, @SadiqKhan mobilises hungry schoolkids brandishing nickname for @Councillorsuzie 🤣
Last month I had my photos redone as if I was old, this month there’s an account who has saved my photos and is reposting them without my permission Apparently it’s fine because “you obviously love posting thousands of photos of yourself why does it matter if I post one … 1/3
Morning London. Cycling to work linked to better mental health. #LondonLovesCycling #CS3
So the Mayor was just being factually correct when he said that anti-ULEZ people were standing next to the far right. Susan Hall is literally doing exactly that.
Science without policy is science. Policy without science is gambling. Let's not gamble with safety of vulnerable people. High speed = more kinetic energy distribution in a crash. Let's focus on freedom from fear of injury not freedom to drive at 30+mph bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Here's a thought - why is it that these barriers just get installed unannounced, but when speed bumps are proposed for a stretch of road it has to go out to consultation? Why aren't access restrictions for off-road active travel afforded the same consideration?

I suspect that @RantyHighwayman is not the only Londoner feeling sick of being told to vote for this to stop that. On Thursday vote for the campaign that has inspired you the most. And I hope that means @TheGreenParty 🗳 💚 Mayor 🗳 💚 Constituency AM 🗳 💚 Londonwide AM

@SocEnvJustice #Justforbalance SocEnvJustice is an Astroturf group, unlike membership led and funded groups like LCC.
We're going to be talking more about prioritisation and strategic designation of routes at upcoming events and in future resources. This design - on a brand new estate still under construction - shows much more work on #Active Travel #Accessibility for #Disabled people is needed!

So I have an answer to this, sort of! Yesterday I took seven superloop buses, one regular bus, the Elizabeth line and a tube journey. Total bill £9.05, for about 10 hours constant movement. So yes, superloop clearly covered by the cap. x.com/dogwinters/sta…
@JonnElledge Important question (sorry if you've already addressed), but how much does doing the whole superloop cost? Is it part of the daily bus cap?
I find this London-detesting nonsense on the right fascinating. Regardless, the city’s economic & cultural success - which report after report, statistic after statistic confirms continues apace - is what pays our way in the world and is a huge source of our soft power.
Almost forgotten what it's like to sit out in the sun and not freeze
@RantyHighwayman Also, 4.5% is great news.
@RossLydall @SadiqKhan @Councillorsuzie It's a bit of a failure of the media that people in general only hear about Susan and Sadiq. Some other candidates with interesting policy & strategy ideas have missed out on exposure. But then, a 2 horse race satisfies the sporting mind - which of the 2 teams/boxers will win?
Performative cruelty
First handcuffs, then hardware. Very deliberate brutality about the images. Not saying they are right or wrong, it's just very striking

keep thinking about that news recently where a car going 20 hit a kid and they survived and someone on here said it would’ve been better doing 30 cos then it would’ve been at a different location further down the road thus missing the kid and my brain feels like it’s overheating

@RantyHighwayman @Onebiskuit but given they dispute the evidence that shows Waltham Forests mini-holland LTNs are effective (a project which started in 2013) presumably they'd keep going on those and all the other existing LTNs in London map from safecycleldn.com
@RantyHighwayman @Onebiskuit They first wanted to reverse “Covid” LTNs (claiming their reason is they were not properly consulted on) but that’s now become post 2020 LTNs (which they can't even falsely claim a lack of consultation for)
Last month I had my photos redone as if I was old, this month there’s an account who has saved my photos and is reposting them without my permission Apparently it’s fine because “you obviously love posting thousands of photos of yourself why does it matter if I post one … 1/3
@LouHaigh British Rail it is. National Rail Service is bland, vague and is too similar to NHS.
Morning London. Cycling to work linked to better mental health. #LondonLovesCycling #CS3
@RantyHighwayman @Onebiskuit (From John’s blog on the alternatives to LTNs). Basically status quo + some vague hyper long term aspirations like fantastical improvements to PT, trams etc, some tinkering ‘more speed humps!’, some magic ‘more cycling whilst removing all cycling infrastructure’. Not serious.
So the Mayor was just being factually correct when he said that anti-ULEZ people were standing next to the far right. Susan Hall is literally doing exactly that.
Susan Hall stages campaign event with extreme anti-ULEZ activist who ‘applauds’ vandals and believes Islamists are in charge of Britain The Conservative London mayor candidate posed with Nick Arlett, who has suggested Muslims are replacing white people bylinetimes.com/2024/04/30/sus…
Science without policy is science. Policy without science is gambling. Let's not gamble with safety of vulnerable people. High speed = more kinetic energy distribution in a crash. Let's focus on freedom from fear of injury not freedom to drive at 30+mph bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
@RantyHighwayman @Onebiskuit They don’t even want the status quo - they want to reverse 20 years of transport schemes that have started to shift balance of streets away from private cars. Their position constantly changes, but is ever more pro car.. 1/
