Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22
This week at the Transport Select Committee we were discussing road safety. Alex's words at Pedal on Parliament about presumed liability were fresh in my mind, so I asked about it. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike Full Question: youtu.be/qeVRc5qIibA

Making it safer and easier for people to travel by bike helps to address transport poverty. Cycle lanes, like this one in Glasgow, connecting communities to the city centre, reflect the everyday journeys that people make, helping them to get from home to work, school, shops and vital services.
Glasgow nominations for the Holyrood election are out. The far-right Independent Green Voice is back. In 2021, this fake party, led by a Holocaust denier thrown out of UKIP, probably cost the Scottish Greens two MSPs.
Inspired by this video youtu.be/etwt75kYYhk I thought I'd explore some of the statistics around car access and deprivation with some #datavis and analysis. Usefully, the 2021 Census in the UK asked questions around car ownership as well as many aspects of 'deprivation'. So here is 📊 🧵... [1/8]

🚨 Shocking Stats on Speeding Near Edinburgh Schools! 🚨 I’ve been exploring this fascinating tool: speeding.hasp.ac.uk It uses GPS data to show how often goods vehicles are speeding in Edinburgh (and beyond). The results? Honestly worrying. More>>
Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services. They promise you that. And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.
I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?
