AMAZING. Westminster's pedestrianization plan for Regent Street St. James's, Waterloo Place, and the surrounding area is massive.

. @acarpen.bsky.social just noticed that the election results line up remarkably well with the BRMA map you shared in your local government reform post. I’m guessing Newmarket would be yellow as well if it were included! @philrodgers.co.uk

This is awful - #NHS England is trying to gut #RightToChoose which could make waiting times for #ADHD diagnoses take 10+ years. This is being snuck through an internal consultation which the public can’t respond to, so email your MP to tell them to make noise about this!

The initial idea of “let’s do for tunnelling what SpaceX did for rocketry” honestly sounded great when it was proposed for mid-occupancy rapid transit. But the speed with which it became “let’s build smaller tunnels, slowly, for teslas” rather destroyed any initial credibility.
On the other hand, I wish people had listened to the transit nerds when we were telling everyone who would listen that Elon was extremely unintelligent.
I preferred it when they just kept reinventing the bus.

So just to confirm, DEI stands for Dumb Entitled Incels?
Because yeah I can see how that could cause a lot of problems.

People around the UK need and want greener, cheaper energy - but god forbid anyone tries to build the infrastructure to actually enable that. Miliband is absolutely right in forcing through these projects.

WATCH: The BEST public art is MORE than just art — it’s functional too. This really smart integrated art in a recent project in central OSLO draws you in, supports both place-making and way-finding, and reveals all the mid-block nooks & crannies that you might NEVER know about without that art!

Why 2023 was the year of the e-bike and not the self-driving car

People criticise British cooking, but I guarantee we’d have less meltdowns cooking Thanksgiving dinner because it’s basically a roast dinner with some weird sides and we are pretty much pros at that.
