All of this has happened before and will happen again? #QuietQuitting clevry.com/insights/quiet-qu…
.@Chris_Boardman says it was "unfortunate" that the latest DfT data showed a decrease in cycling because it was shown in isolation. Car usage was down 23% and train use 47%; in fact, active travel was the most robust of all modes in that period. @activetraveleng @TransportCttee

We are trending no 1 and 2 in England. I need everyone’s help to keep this noise going as I head to training but before I go, to ALL MPs in Parliament, this is not about politics. The same way us players put rivalry aside when we put the England shirt on, please #maketheuturn

Really well done data visualization. Comparing covid19 to other causes of death on global scale this year.

Dominic Cummings does not want people sharing this clip of him, so make sure you don't share it. "The public is basically correct - Tory MPs largely do not care about poor people." "They don't care about the NHS - and the public has cottoned on"

Please remember this if you head out over the weekend. Please also RT to remind others to do the same. Take care everyone. This is nowhere near over, despite what you might have seen today x

Oh dear. Forget the dubious excursion on his wife’s birthday. Has Dom actually falsified the record of his own intellectual brilliance?
Cummings said he warned about i.a. corona virus in 2019. Thing is, he didn't. References to SARS and corona virus were added to his blog post on pandemic risks sometime between April and May of this year.

UPDATE: Source says Dominic Cummings is genetically superior to all of us.
PM's chief adviser did travel from London to County Durham during lockdown when he and his wife had coronavirus to stay in a separate building at his family's farm, a source close to him confirms - source says it is not true that he was spoken to by police ...

I feel like Matt Hancock is doing a ‘room next door’ here when Boris is waffling. Taking the job off @MrMichaelSpicer at source! 🤦‍♀️#pmqs
Matt Hancock's body language during Boris Johnson's #pmqs: "oh God he's actually saying these things out loud"

I’ll let Holland and Denmark know, they’ll be horrified 😂
On #bbcnews explaining why cycle lanes are making lorry drivers lives harder - restrictions on roads which are for everyone to use won’t help 1) economic recovery 2) congestion = pollution #lovethelorry @RHANews

Give us Heathrow for running time trials and we’ll talk.
"British pilots will be absolutely aghast and frankly furious at £2bn being found for ‘walking and cycling’ when the airline industry, which is so vital to the UK economy, is dying before our eyes." balpa.org/Media-Centre/Press…

I think I need to clarify to @Telegraph readers, who may have seen the truncated headline, that the full quote is .... "I've been having cocktails parties on Zoom" ... really, matron!! #carryonisolation

No hot takes today. Just profound & heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped defeat fascists, Nazis & their vile ideologies. And a deep determination to continue honouring their memories by confronting latter day disseminators of hate & division. Not just today, but every day.
