104 days after been fined £90m for dumping sewage into the environment and less than 12 hours after Gov voted to protect water companies and not our rivers, @SouthernWater were dumping sewage at 60, yes 60, different locations along the south coast of England. #COP26 hypocrisy

What’s been extraordinary during this pandemic is realising just how much more valuable a human life is in New Zealand than here in the UK.

Due to the covid-19 pandemic the planet effectively shutdown, meaning our public spaces and roads became quieter almost overnight 🛣 @Chris_Boardman looks at the effects of cycling during and after the lockdown 🚴‍♂️

One of our engineers brought his daughters and their friends out for a cycle to test our new coastal cycle route. This safe space for pedestrians and cyclists has been completely transformed recently and we're delighted our 4 young product testers approve of the works!

Last night, this far right authoritarian government stole the rights for you, your children & grandchildren to work, live, study & retire in 27 European countries. In December, your right to access life-saving meds, and freely available fresh food will go too #RejoinEU #Brexit

The number of people who still don't realise that they're cheering the abolition of *their own* freedom is a direct consequence of making policy according to focus groups & tabloid lies.

Frank Pellino owns Pellino’s Ristorante in the #NorthEnd. He says shutting down streets and sidewalks for outdoor dining is a “godsend,” and he wants it to continue every summer. #WBZ

This week, a govt minister promoted far right lies & went unpunished. The Prime Minister & the Health Secretary lied about care homes. Johnson was shown to have lied about customs checks in Northern Ireland. Teachers were maligned, lockdown chaos escalated & the R number went up.

Cycle paths and 30kmh (20mph) limits. Paris shows the way to go. What a transformation.
“Paris has more than 1,000 km of cycle paths. With the bike circulation plan that’s planned for deconfinement, we are gradually creating an additional 50km: rue de Rivoli, boulevard Saint-Michel, rue Saint-Jacques or even the Etoile tunnel.”— @Anne_Hidalgo

This was the most shocking performance by a Prime Minister at #PMQS I have witnessed & has prompted an immediate request from leader of the opposition calling Boris Johnson back to the Commons to correct the record! RT if you think this should be on every news channel tonight

This superb video has now clocked past 3 million views. It’s a brutal 3-minute summary of New Zealand’s success vs the UK’s failure. Keep sharing it.

Going into a significant recession just as we torch around 40 trade agreements with over 70 countries is somewhat sub-optimal. Common sense told me that.
