TfL announces new plans for dangerous Monument junction: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/monument-jun... "Safety is our highest priority" says TfL. First looks says: safer, but not truly safe enough & not built with enough capacity for existing cycling levels, let alone years from now. More from us soon...

The Council has posted a page with its plans for the #Greenway diversion via Plaistow Road, along with a timetable: starting the southern section early next year, finishing by Autumn. We support this scheme & want it to be accelerated wherever possible. newhamco-create.co.uk/en/projects/...
Diagram showing a redesign of Plaistow Road in Newham, with a 2-way cycleway on the north side. The footways and cycleways are continuous with Dutch entry kerbs over the junctions of Church Street, Stephens Road, and Plaistow Grove. A new straight-across parallel zebra and cycle crossing just east of Stephens Road makes it possible to cross Plaistow Road. The junction mouth of Church Street is narrowed significantly. A traffic island in the centre of the road is removed. On the north side, the cycleway runs behind a bus stop, with the boarding island reachable by a zebra crossing.

The Netherlands has introduced a €49 monthly ticket for unlimited nationwide train travel—a bold political response to soaring energy costs. When prices at the pump rise, you can either double down on car dependency, or give people attractive alternatives. The Dutch are (again) choosing the latter.

Met a guy at a techno gig in Krakow this summer. 20-year-old Belarussian, in self-exile cos he protested the govt while a student. V switched on dude, all about democracy and the Left. And when I told him I lived in London he went grave and said, "oh wow I hear London is not so safe, very scary?".

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story. Last year saw: The lowest murder rate per capita since records began The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

This is a whole sermon. 12 years ago I commented on an article about white pet owners lack of boundaries and humanity. I basically said they see more humanity in animals than humans, especially Black humans. Butt hurt white folks are STILL responding to my comment.

Western Forest will cover 2,500 hectares across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Bristol A new Western Forest is to be created across a swathe of the west of England from the Cotswolds to the Mendips, the government has said. The project, one of the government’s promised national forests, will create 2,500 hectares (6,200 acres) of woodland by 2030 across five priority areas in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Bristol, with plans to plant 20m trees by 2050.

Imagine if we paid farmers properly to enable sustainable transport in rural areas? It would: ✅ Provide travel choices that work on people’s own schedule, especially important considering infrequent bus services in rural areas ✅ Improve road safety on country lanes ✅ Increase access to nature

Thank you to Greater Manchester Police for helping keep vulnerable road users safe from this. There's a reason Tesla Cybertrucks are not legal in the UK and Europe; Cybertrucks present acute dangers to pedestrians and don’t meet European safety standards. The vehicle has been seized.
Officers from #GMPTransportUnit stopped this Tesla Cybertruck in Whitefield last night.

The driver was a permanent UK resident but the vehicle was registered and insured abroad which is prohibited in the UK.

The Tesla Cybertruck is not road legal in the UK and does not hold a certificate of conformity.

Whilst this may seem trivial to some, legitimate concerns exist around the safety of other road users or pedestrians if they were involved in a collision with a Cybertruck.

The vehicle was subsequently seized under S165 of the Road Traffic Act and the driver reported.

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe? Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.

In 2006, President Jimmy Carter published a NYT bestseller entitled “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” In 2017, he called the lack of universal healthcare a “national scandal.” Some of those who are honoring him with words today would smear him if he were a candidate today.
