If it was about testosterone, how come the women's teams are showing all the blokes up? Not that I have the slightest interest in sport.

Someone needs to tell them it's Starmer or Farage. We may or may not like the options but that's what they are

Our autumn commuter campaign aims to capture the imagination and is all about modal shift, including digital billboard messages triggered by traffic queues on key arterial routes in/out of busy towns and cities.
The message is to switch to “Train Mode On”!

They are paying interest on massive loans from these shareholders. It cannot be avoided. If publicity owned these payments would continue via gilts. Probably at higher interest rates
When you know your outfit is 10/10 but your face is still thinking about how successive governments refuse to bring water companies back in to public ownership so our hard earned money is paying offshore shareholders billions of pounds instead of investing in decaying water infrastructure xx

We'd be better off without Marxist inspired people in the Labour Party. We need pragmatism who have bothered to understand how the economy and society works and who can explain it to the electorate

Dead right about threat from Farage. Being more left wing would boost Farage.

CoMoUK’s annual report on UK car clubs was released in April.
Two takeaways for me:
1. Shared cars are already making a big impact on car ownership. On average, each car club vehicle replaced 27 private cars.
2. There’s not enough of them. We need a serious strategy for shared mobility.

Gov policy a good recipe for bed blocking
Today I challenged the Home Secretary to issue an impact assessment setting out what the consequences will be of stopping overseas care worker visas this year.
The Home Secretary avoided the question.
The government must consider the impacts on the sick, the frail and the elderly.
