Kemi Badenoch, who is currently purging the Tory candidates list, tells Today she stands for "uniting the country" and wants to "bring the country together". She then laments the Coalition years when "we had to make concessions". It's amazing how often "unity" means "everyone must agree with me".

Just the dumbest collection of halfwit confetti emerging out of that conference. Tax cuts everywhere, paid for with imaginary spending cuts. Huge spending projects with precisely zero utility, except to anchor their 'defence day' narrative. Clowns.

View from 131 bus in Raynes Park. White van has parked (legally) in the loading bay & northbound lane is too narrow for bus to pull out. It has to wait for lights to change & queueing traffic to clear. Just 1 of 1000s of micro-delays around London adding up to slow&unreliable journeys for bus users.

It's characteristic of the Brexit debate that, after a decade of arguing about it, the leader of the Conservative Party doesn't appear to know what the single market is & can't be arsed to find out. She seems to have a vague idea it's "a free trade area" that got mixed up with "all the other stuff".

It is wild to think that most cities used to have extensive electric tram systems, capable of efficiently transporting people and producing zero emissions at street level. And they were persuaded it was a good idea to rip them out. Now cities are spending billions putting them back in.

The Dutch don't just build cycle tracks, they build cycle networks. Over motorways, under junctions, then branching off to the gym, football pitches & other local destinations. Safe, direct routes connecting the places people need to go. This is how you make cycling a normal part of everyday life.

Padstow hates cyclists, despite profiting hugely from the cyclists on the #CamelTrail. Nasty little village, with anti-cycling signs everywhere. If you're telling me to dismount somewhere cars are allowed to drive, I'll make a point of NOT dismounting, and you probably won't like my 2-worded reply.

The cognitive dissonance of car culture is exhausting. People foam at the mouth when you propose funding walkability, bikes, and high quality public transit. They aggressively fight against the exact non-car mobility options that would actually solve the traffic they endlessly complain about.
