Highly walkable Ljubljana, with its Old Town, hilltop castle and iconic bridges, banned private vehicles from streets across its city centre in 2007.
It hasn't looked back.

SP26: Where are Reform's votes coming from?
A longer read for the weekend, taking a look at the rise of Reform. If you're the Conservatives or Labour, this isn't good news. The SNP meanwhile lose few voters and benefit from the split elsewhere.

SP26: Where are Reform’s votes coming from?
With Reform on the rise, how has that affected other parties? In short, Reform are lapping up the 2021 Conservative and 2024 Labour votes, but barely registering amongst past SNP voters.

11 years ago, Scotland was inspired to think big. To imagine a better future, in our own hands.
Today, the case for independence is stronger than ever.
Independence is the fresh start Scotland needs - with lower bills, a fairer society, and our rightful place in Europe.

The "too wee, too poor" never did stand proper scrutiny. Great work 👏
This is fun. I took the HMRC's UK-wide public sector revenue and expenditure data, split it by nation, then re-allocated the Oil & Gas revenues only to Scotland.
Guess what happened...
Next: renewable energy revenues.

Cycled out of Glasgow on the South City Way this morning, a recently built segregated cycle path. Excellent piece of infrastructure ✔️

Successive governments have watched as Right to Buy hollowed out council housing stock, fuelling chronic shortages and deepening inequality. We cannot wait any longer: end Right to Buy, urgently reinvest in affordable, social homes fit for the future, and secure stability for our communities.
Right to buy in England ‘fuelled housing crisis and cost taxpayers £200bn’
Common Wealth report calls discounted sales of council homes one of the ‘largest giveaways in UK history’
