Big Times exclusive which shows that TfL supressed a report which showed that LTNs don't cut car use. The Times has seen damming emails between TfL and Rachel Aldred's Unit at Westminster University which did the report. thetimes.com/uk/london/arti…

This is what it means when we say Leadbeater's Bill crosses the rubicon... "distasteful pragmatism" emerges allowing people to say "assisted dying would appear to mitigate [the problems of an ageing population], curbing the pensions bill, the NHS bill and the care bill".

It was a pleasure joining Ross for this timely conversation on China, President Trump’s state visit to the UK, and much more.

An impressive launch by @BritainRemade this morining. Making it easier to build nuclear power is essential for affordable energy abundance. Particularly in the UK where, as the report highlighted we are 6 times more expensive and 2-3 times slower at building power stations than…

Very odd. Immortality and perfection are unobtainable — instead, the obvious contrast is “utility < beauty”. Those concerned with being “righteous” are normally far from good. And wisdom isn’t in conflict with truth. Frank Pick: “amateur philosopher < CEO”.

There are no words good enough to express the horror of this. The killing of Charlie Kirk is a blow to everything Western civilization stands for: open discourse, robust debate and peaceful dissent. He lived his life by those very principles, no matter the danger it put him in.…

Tube drivers are striking for a 32 hour working week, and 75% discounts on all national rail travel. Their base salary is currently £70,182 pa. For a job so demanding some see fit to knit, watch TV, and occasionally press a button to operate doors.

Potentially toxic landfill is currently taxed at £126.15 per tonne, while harmless inert waste like soil or concrete is taxed at £4.05, and nothing at all if it is filling up quarries. Almost all landfill from construction falls into the latter class. However, the Government is…

Frances Stainton was a remarkable lady and a real political tour de force in local government. It was a huge privilege to have served with her for eight years on Hammersmith & Fulham Council. Rest in peace, Frances.

‘If you want to raise serious money, it is a childish fantasy to pretend that you can do so solely from the few rather than the many.’ Me in @thetimes today on why Labour MPs and activists calling for a wealth tax need to grow up fast. Thread fellows (1/?)

Embarrassing failure by @wandbc @WandswrthLabour that will leave many local residents angry and frustrated. The administration has allowed TfL’s delaying tactics to end in cancellation. mylondon.news/news/transport…

Palestinian recognition. The situation in Gaza. The fate of the hostages. You don't get more serious international politics than this. And yet again the Prime Minister is reacting to events, reacting to internal political pressure, and making policy up on the fly.

Below are the maximum prices we’ll be offering per MWh of power generated from new wind and solar projects, and these prices are guaranteed for the next 20 years. Last year the average price for gas was about £75/MWh. And we can turn on gas whenever we want; solar and wind…

A vacuous @WandswrthLabour motion, which talked about the need to “work, rest and play”, like a Mars Bar commercial… Their benches seemed so depressed at @wandbc, even I felt sorry for them. So I bought them a gift.

Despite many questionable funding decisions by @WandswrthLabour, this is up there. An evening of “resistance”, run by self-professed “militants”, who sang “from the river to the sea” to celebrate… South Asian Heritage Month. (1/)
