On the same day diesel hit £2 a litre for the first time, we took 50+ cargo bikes onto the streets of London for the seventh Cargo Bike Cruise. While diesel vans are getting more expensive to run, cargo bikes are becoming a practical and cheaper option for more and more businesses.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets

Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

The Left party (Die Linke)'s win in Berlin's state election on Sunday received so little attention in UK media . When AfD won in Saxony-Anhalt 2 weeks ago it was covered like the 2nd Coming ( perhaps in some sections of UK media it is 🙄 ) but I would also like know about progressive wins in 🇩🇪 too .

When The Beatles faced their Ed Sheeran moment, they said Fuck You Very Much to the idea of playing for a segregated audience...and played for the first desegregated audience in the American south. Then they wrote a non-segregation clause into their touring contract. It's called morals, stupid.

I thought this was cool of the Mount Vernon parks dept to put in a bike repair station. Next to it there is a hand pump and nozzle. The cables hold assorted tools. You can suspend your bike on the padded red handles at the top. It's right next to a trail along the river downtown plaza.

Misleading your allies" 🤥 Between a Met Police probe & a cross-Channel farce, #Farage's plans are unraveling. Today's Sunderland Echo 📰 letter exposes Reform's stunt: a small boats pact where the key pledge was hidden from their French allies! 🎪 #Sunderland #ReformUK #UKPolitics

A scanned letter published in this Friday's Sunderland Echo headlines "Misleading your allies". It features a large pull quote: "You cannot claim to be great defenders of national sovereignty while pushing a migration policy so unworkable it requires misleading allies".
The letter discusses Reform UK's mounting controversies, starting with a Met Police criminal investigation into alleged illegal foreign funding. It then focuses on an embarrassing farce from the party's Birmingham conference: a memorandum of understanding on small boats agreed between Nigel Farage and France's National Rally president, Jordan Bardella.
The deal triggered immediate outrage in France, with politicians refusing to let their country become a "subcontractor for Great Britain". The letter notes this exposes the fatal flaw in nationalist populism—when nationalists ask other nationalists to accept their problems, they immediately cry treason.
Crucially, the text highlights a glaring discrepancy: while the English version claims France will "ordinarily accept" returned migrants, this commitment is completely missing from the French translation. The letter concludes that a policy requiring you to mislead allies is unworkable.

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house. A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it. It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.
