I recently got stopped & ticketed by the City of London Police for, & I kid you not, “cycling no handed”. Even though it’s clearly not an offence, the officer said they were ticketing me under the Human Rights Act as I was infringing other people’s Article 2 ‘Right to Life’, in case I fell off & injured them: utterly bonkers stuff.
With bicycle theft basically legalised in the City due to the complete failure of the Police to bother investigating such thefts & people being regularly terrorised in London by e-bike phone muggers, it’s good to see the City of London Police concentrating the resources on what really matters.

The Government’s response to Donald Trump’s actions is not good enough.
The UK Government should hold him to account for his actions and stand up for international law, not tacitly condone the attack. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5…

This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph

Rumour has it, the character leading Nigel Farage away is George Cottrell, an interesting chap, who may give some insight into Farage's 'anti-elite' Reform UK team.
(Btw, I don't agree with chucking drinks over anyone).
So who is George Cottrell?

In light of the recent announcement from @shappsGrant regarding the introduction of a new law to deal with ‘killer cyclists’, and very much picking up from the thread done by @ormonroyd, I’ve had a little look on sentencing for killer drivers over the last year or so.

It is pretty hard to post this - I have not done so before although I kept it. But it needs to be posted because Susan Hall is the @Conservatives candidate for Mayor of London and people need to know what she is.

More and more evidence emerging of Ketziot Prison in the Naqab/Negev desert turning into the Abu Ghraib for Gazans: torture, humiliation and burning of detainees leading to multiple deaths.

Worth remembering this telling 1969 quote from Moshe Dayan this week as leaks indicate that Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and their extreme far right wing government are drawing up plans to expel the shattered refugees of Gaza into Egypt

Imagine tweeting this from a private jet in a cost of living crisis when you've literally just cancelled the high-speed train line to the city you've been in. What sort of monstrous lack of awareness is going on?
This week I took long-term decisions to build a brighter future and change our country.
This change will:
🏘️ Transform our towns
🚆 Boost our transport
📚 Improve our education
🚭 Reduce cancer deaths
Here’s how👇

"Post-Covid ‘super deduction’ scheme introduced by Rishi Sunak when chancellor allowed water industry to claim £97 million in tax rebates.'
Yep you got that right. Water companies paid no tax but claimed £97 million in rebates.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £350m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needs a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
RT if you want the Monarchy gone.

I don't know how it is possible that Biden doesn't understand all that is at stake here, but, based on his consistent eagerness to expand fossil fuels, I am convinced he does not.
He must declare climate emergency. Now.
