In 2022, Michael Valgren spoke about not wanting an injury to be the end of his career.
Four years later, he’s winning again #TirrenoAdriatico
A pretty inspiring comeback 💪
Anyone supporting this so called excuse of a sport should be ashamed
Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour—it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form.
If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure.

“Reeves has been ratcheting up the rhetoric on closer EU relations which she described as the “biggest prize” in trade”
If only we’d acknowledged this BEFORE we threw it away in a fit of arrogant prejudice. Getting back in the room is far harder than flouncing off

Their level.
When I was learning to drive, my Dad would constantly remind me, "Speed magnifies mistakes." This should be the mantra of road designers as well.

The figure shows the non-EU workers in the UK with the Brexit referendum and introduction of the new migration regime marked. The counterfactual is shown in red. How did Brexit impact the UK labour market? This column uses synthetic differences-in-differences to estimate how Brexit changed the trajectory of foreign-born employment. The authors find that ending free movement and introducing a new immigration system in 2021 led to a modest rise in the number of foreign-born workers in the UK, but a dramatic shift in their countries of origin.
Jonathan Portes & @johnspringford.bsky.social find that the decision to leave the EU made only a modest difference to the number of foreign born workers in Britain, but led to a dramatic shift in their countries of origin.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.
In Southeast Asia, tens of thousands of workers have been trafficked into prisonlike scam centers.
Until recently, the workings of these compounds were mysterious. But late last year, the Thai military took control of a major complex in Cambodia: bloom.bg/4bsyyF3

Were they taking briefings from Dominic Raab, another right wing fool who underestimated the importance of narrow strips of water when impoverishing his country?
It's curious how the people who bitch and moan about road space being taken away by bike infra never have anything to say about how e.g. a BMW X5 or Range Velar takes up *more than half as much space again* as a Fiat 500 or Golf.
🚨 The NHS must always remain free.
"Farage has not ruled out other reforms, such as moving funding of the NHS from general taxation to an insurance system."

🚨 @pimlicat.bsky.social: "After more than 18,000 of our supporters wrote to Ofgem highlighting real public concern over Musk’s powergrab, Best for Britain are calling on the energy secretary to step in and urgently reverse Ofgem’s misguided decision. It’s not too late to do the right thing.”
Hannah Spencer MP in her maiden speech in Parliament:
"Our struggles may be different, but our humanity is the same. We always stick together, we always fight for each other.
"And that is what I want us to take forward from International Women's Day and to do that every single day."
Halva! Now there’s a memory from my childhood 😃

What a spectacle of incoherence.
Reform’s Welsh leader promises not to go down the NHS/insurance route…while Farage keeps that option open for the rest of us. Probably because he’s already committed to selling us out.
Corruption and betrayal nailed on with this lot.

Good morning , and thank you to Claire Louise Millgate for today's #FoxOfTheDay !
Farage keeps repeating Donald Trump's talking points. But Trump is extremely unpopular in the UK (-65 approval rating).
We don't want Trump-style politics here.
