Hmm. Less 'social glue' and more 'flammable solvent'.
An important message to #SteveReedMP @mhclgdigital.blog.gov.uk.web.brid.gy on #housing standards in the NPPF - 'Building regulations must be seen as a floor to increase standards across all new buildings, not a ceiling.' - Hugh Ellis TCPA director
The Labour government has not published any long-term transport strategies nearly two years after being elected.
Radical ambition is now needed to turn around what has become the biggest source of UK emissions.

This is awful news for anyone not in one of these hideous machines.

I hope you are making a good recovery.
The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President.
“Wah wah wah!” screech Reform.
Spitting blame and resentment. Come on voters… don’t judge them on how they are when things are going their way. Judge them on how they cope with adversity. They have a wild and monstrous tantrum. Now, imagine that running the country. Unthinkable.
Of course, it is unlawful.
Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff.
Of course, it is stupid.
Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away.
And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

Key point that UK has not yet taken on board. Planning for cycling still gets stuck in a silo away from general highways planning.
Appreciation for the important but grim work you are doing.
Reupping this because this video is always worth another watch!
If you take a breath of Birmingham's air today, give a thought to Waseem Zaffar, an all too rare example of a local politician willing to tackle the problem of car dominance.
Our city is greatly diminished by Councillor Zaffar’s shocking passing.
Our thoughts are with Councillor Zaffar’s family and friends following the sad news of his passing. He was a major force for good, enabling and advocating for bold transport and clean air policy.
👏 Another big win this week but for cyclists at train stations!
British Transport Police will now investigate bike thefts at stations even if bikes are left for over two hours. A real campaign win made possible by supporters speaking up.

Can anyone explain why underground parking is so common in the NL, but not here? Geology/politics/legal/cost of building in UK...?
@rantyhighwayman.bsky.social @engineerlikeagirl.bsky.social or others?
Excellent video. Follow the link for the blog and full video.
That BBC coverage is timestamped 942pm
The misinformation it contains was demonstrated to be clearly untrue almost 3 hours before that

The BBC summary relays false claims but does not prioritise the facts at all
Yes, servicing and breakdown cover are necessary for original and second-hand owners if ebikes are going to work as long term daily transport for the average person.
Sorry news on a last-minute rush that is threatening the quality of the much-needed update on Manual for Streets.
Even your accidental photos look good!
Woohoo! Chickenpox vaccines are on the menu in the UK - finally!!

I know. Things still going ever faster in the wrong direction.
The term ICE for vehicles was already in common use.
Better if we could to abolish Trump's ICE than change existing language to accommodate this appalling organisation.
Tense Christmas I The Ghost of Christmas Past Perfect Progressive Midnight. Awoken by a ghost. I thought I must be raving. He’d come to me so I could see how badly I’d been behaving. II The Ghost of Christmas Present Perfect Simple Later still, a ghost again: with a much more recent scene. More evidence piling up of how unpleasant I have been. III The Ghost of Christmas Future Unreal Conditional Then, a final ghostly vision – but this one lacked the pain and strife. I saw if I could be a kinder man, I would create a better life. Brian Bilston
I got visited by three ghosts last night, who were all experts in English grammar.
