The "poor people don't drive" narrative is such a London bubble thing. The pink areas on this map are where people use public transport more than driving.

We’re thinking pink on Saturday’s @BBCRadio3 Sound of Cinema. For #Barbie of course. So which film do you think has the best use of colour? Non-pink suggestions considered. Recorded again at @RadioHumberside so we need at least one tiger orange. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001p29…

Actually, Britain is being run by the Conservative Party, as it has been for the last 13 years - usually with the fervent support of The Sun. Blaming a shadowy "elite", who are said to pull the strings from behind the scenes, has a pretty grim history. thesun.co.uk/news/21866205/b…

Gary Lineker suspended by the BBC for upsetting the Conservatives because he stood up for some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The same BBC whose chairman gave the Conservatives £400,000 before helping to arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Leading @unitetheunion members at @GleeClubCardiff are now being threatened with disciplinary action and even dismissal, a matter of days after we lodged a petition for recognition. This is blatant trade union victimisation and it will not be tolerated. – at Glasgow, Scotland
