Driver killed child as car goes on pitch...is what The Sun actually means.

But their motornormative reporting means they'll seek to divert the responsibility from the driver whenever possible.

I was outside the Daily Mail yesterday with the #StopSellingLies crew. Today I'm in Southwark Crown Court for a pre-trial hearing for smashing the windows of the criminal organisation that is News UK (Rupert Murdoch's company).

Q: I wonder what I can do with a year's worth of compost from a family of 3?

A: Repot 1 x Olive and 1 x Bay which had both become pot bound.

Day two of reviewing the Daily Mail for climate and climate campaign articles.

I don't want to vote for Reform or Tory yet. Lets see what happens tomorrow when I swap for the Telegraph for a week or so.

Redshank
Greenshank
Shelduck
Oystercatchers
Roe deer bucks with big antlers

Alongside all the corvids, mallards, sparrows, pigeons etc

An ironic reminder in todays Times. Driver entitlement kills.

📣 81% of drivers regularly excessively speed.

Ironic, 'cos Murdoch's press has always campaigned rigorously for people to drive whatever they want, where-ever they like, whenever they want at whatever speed they choose.

I'm working in London today, eco-aduting a Church. I noticed aftermath of this horrific tragedy on the way.

As over 99% of fatalities on pavements are caused by drivers, I assume this unicorn met it's maker under the wheels of car too.

I love working outside my flat. Yesterday I was visited by a Kingfisher, Ling Tailed Tits, a Little Egret and this Robin has trained me to feed it.

'24 eco-auditing wins 4 @donnachadhmc.bsky.social & me.

2 clients moved £22 million from Barclays & HSBC on our advice.

If they moved to these banks the annual savings are:

Coop = 4361 tCO₂ [85% down]
Nationwide = 4133 tCO₂ [81% down]

RIP mum and what an awful Christmas this family is going to have .

The should read 'Mum killed and child injured by speeding driver, on the pavement'

UK press will not put the responsibility of these avoidable deaths where they belong, in the hands of the person driving.

Had a lovely evening at the @wheelsforwellbeing.bsky.social Xmas gathering for Trustees (I’m privileged to be one) and staff.

Also got to see some friends from #HerneHillVelodrome and chatted about a resurgent #MuddyHell CX race with Phil, Bill & Scrippo.

My latest eco audit clients pie chart for their building & ops v aviation v finance carbon pollution for last year.

Despite them taking 38 flights, the pollution from banking & pensions is greater.

Top tier advice, move your banking from Nat West to Nationwide or Co-operative.

My latest #EcoAuditing client's break down of finance v building and operations.

Most clients are surprised that their banking and pensions are responsible for such a large proportion of their carbon pollution.

I really don’t like the look to the new versions of our traditional weather rhymes.

‘You should raise your saddle a bit there mate.’

This is one of my favourite paintings of a bike.

Currently at the Francis Bacon exhibition at the Nat Portrait Gallery in London.

This weeks eco-auditing client was in the LTN just outside the Oval stadium. I say these graphics describing the bike parking spaces there.

The first time I've seen cycle marking for adapted and cargo bikes.
