I had a few active Twitter accounts, but deleted them all on the day of the last US election as there was obviously no chance it wouldn’t descend further than it already had. It annoys me that orgs I used to interact with like Thames Water, Met Police and TfL remain only over there.

The covering of faces really amplifies the fact that they know they are on the wrong side of history. If democracy prevails, I hope that civil prosecutions under a future administration suck every penny out of the pockets of these ICE thugs.

Oh just a final note on this, but the quiet - and arguably biggest - impact of ULEZ has come because of its continuing, and growing, impact on stuff that ISN'T cars.
The shift of last-mile delivery and other trade/company vehicles to greener tech has been huge, along with the same for TfL's buses.

I would like to think so, but Trump has amply demonstrated that terrible people can get elected and then swiftly change the infrastructure to not only protect themselves and bury their wrongdoing, and attract other terrible people who hope for the same. I am not holding my breath.

A chart like that screams how unfair FPTP is though. Tactical voters will swing to whoever might beat reform and, to be honest, I would prefer any of those parties to the ragtag candidates reform has been putting forward, but I want a Green MP, not a Lib Dem or Labour.

The size of that top bar is depressing. Obviously there are core reform voters who are never going to align with Green politics, but their number is clearly swollen by people who simply feel let down by their old party and want change. I hope that some can be persuaded that there is a better choice.
