Cut to the bone as centrist 6 Music listener who's first response was that Robbie Gibb can only play three different instruments.
It’s like Robbie Gibb showing up at Black Country New Road gig to tell people they aren’t sufficiently concerned about small boats.

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U.
“By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.”
This will kill people.

Who built a system where someone can export a list of Taliban murder targets into excel on a computer with internet access.
Maybe I've missed this. But "a soldier sent an email" is not going to cut it as an explanation of how this happened. I'm not saying name-and-shame. But the public are owed a proper explanation. Continuing obfuscation just compounds this.

Labour: Tough on cycling, tough on the causes of cycling.
On Monday, at start of Bike Week, transport secretary Heidi Alexander told @cyclinguk.bsky.social meeting that "there's no better investment than investment in cycling.” Today, active travel funding in England was cut by 40%.

Your occasional reminder that a motorist who killed four cyclists when he ploughed into them on an icy road in a car that had three bald tyres was fined £180 and given six penalty points on his licence.
Cyclists who kill pedestrians could be jailed for life under new law in England and Wales
Reckless cycling is currently prosecuted under legislation from the 1860s, with a maximum two-year jail sentence
