What would safer streets mean to you? 🙋 Living Streets and The Bikeability Trust have outlined key policies that the Gov's upcoming Road Safety Strategy should adopt. Please write to your MP today, urging them to call on the Government to hear us. act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/174678/...

At this point "working people" just specifically means drivers doesn't it.

You shouldn't need a driveway to own an electric car.

My Plan for Change is boosting funding for infrastructure to allow cables to run safely beneath pavements.

That's cheaper, at home charging - putting money back in the pockets of working people.

Wow, that was a coincidence that the BBC was on a French beach when the gendarmes slashed the boats as the UK government expressed approval. Still, providing safe routes doesn't play well with the fascists I guess. 🤮

Petrol prices are the lowest they’ve been since *2001*, after adjusting for inflation. Excess supply and a strong pound have helped. But so too have 14 years of cuts to fuel duty. There’s just one problem: voters don’t seem to have noticed… @thetimes.com 1/3

Great read from @adamtranter.bsky.social ⤵️ Technology should not be introduced at the expense of pedestrian freedom to use the highway safely and conveniently. We need to make sure that the most vulnerable road users are protected and prioritised so that our streets work for all.

🕊️ Every road death is preventable, let’s stop acting like it's just a part of life. It is unacceptable that the convenience of people using motor vehicles outweighs the safety of people walking, wheeling and cycling in our densely crowded city. 🚶‍♀️ 👩‍🦽 🚲 🚗 💨

Ride a bike they said, it'll be fun they said! Kidding, we embrace and celebrate the radicalization. If only the anti-bike lane folks would take a ride in our shoes, we're certain their perspectives would change. It's the humanity of it. As always, genius 📷 by @tomflood.bsky.social

thank you Private Eye for taking apart this flakey headline-grabbing research

"LONDON drops down wealth list as super-rich move out," blared a Times splash on 9 April, reporting that there are supposedly 11,300 fewer "dollar millionaires" in the British capital than there were last year - the fastest fall of any global city except Moscow, as the wealthy move their money abroad.
The story was also reported by the Telegraph, Express, Daily Mail and Evening Standard, while the Times returned to the subject next day in a 1,300-word feature. Even culture secretary Lisa Nandy responded to the alleged exodus, blaming it on Brexit, not the Labour government. But how accurate are those remarkably specific figures?
They come from South Africa-based outfit
New World Wealth, commissioned by "advisory firm" Henley & Partners. As pointed out by the New Statesman's Will Dunn back in January, but not mentioned in the Times, Henley & Partners sells advice to rich people about financial planning, and consults governments on
"investment migration" policies - so is opposed to higher taxes on rich people.
And while New World Wealth puts out seemingly definitive figures, they come up with them using "models" based on tracking the online footprints of a far smaller number of people, without actually knowing where they pay tax. Moreover, when contacted by the Eye, the company offered another important caveat, saying it was "important to note" that "most of" the decline in wealth in London over the past decade was not actually down to people leaving the UK, but poor performance of local businesses and a decline in the FTSE 100, which it also uses to collate its reports estimating relative global wealth. So the super-rich in question may well still be here, just not so super-rich any more.
The unreliability of New World Wealth's
"data" and what it actually means hasn't stopped hacks reporting on a mass evacuation by the rich over government policies, which has become an accepted truth. Those figures seemed to have an effect on the chancellor: soon afterwards Rachel Re…

Global Cycling Network (GCN) are making increasingly helpful and important videos. The sort of thing I would have expected from the BBC, now produced by a small group of passionate cyclists. Inspiring stuff. But also in this video, really quite depressing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_4G...
