A powerful piece by a young resident in Walthamstow about the challenges of being neuro-diverse, lockdown and achieving her potential. Her call for action is that we share this to spark change- its a call I hope to answer if re-elected! howtobeme59.wordpress.com/20…

So proud of my 14yo using her time off school sick with autistic burnout to create this blog, How To Be Me about life as an ND teen.

Great to be in #Manchester for #betterlocaltransport day! The city's integrated #BeeNetwork is an inspiration. After a great roundtable we tried out @BromptonBicycle hire at the station! If YOU'RE a fan of cycling & rail, take our fun action today! bettertransport.org.uk/bette…

160 THINGS I ❤️ ABOUT THE TUBE 3/ SHERLOCK uses Johnston. Of course it does: Johnston isn't just a symbol of TfL, it's a symbol of the world's greatest city. It's unique: practical, beautiful and still modern after 110 years. I just can’t believe they let me type in it!

This is an astonishingly important story from @jburnmurdoch. Our suddenly-diminished labour force is an immediate, dangerous drag on UK prosperity. It's a hypothesis, but if NHS decay is the reason, this is THE issue of the decade on.ft.com/3IYrtgP

Great piece on failure/innovation by @thomasableman in this week's @passtrans. '...we had competition and therefore we were able to try and win customers.' '...their willingness to accept a failure is why they have been able to achieve so many successes.'

Another staggering BBC News at Ten. We take live warzone reporting, global criss-crossing and clear-eyed analysis for granted. We should not. We are blessed to have such brilliant public service broadcasters.

Just a quick constitutional reminder for the BBC’s 100th anniversary: it belongs to the people of the UK. It doesn’t belong to the government. And, contrary to what the current Culture Secretary seems to think, it isn’t state-funded.
