The most important achievement of the right in the C21st has been the invention of an all-powerful "establishment" that does not include the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, the world's richest media moguls, the party that was in govt for 14 years, Boris Johnson or the billionaire president of the US

Loopholes in parliamentary rules mean that Tice has not had to declare anything about Gellymill or its investments.
If you agree that there should be stricter transparency requirements on MPs to declare their offshore financial interests, please retweet this thread.

Huge respect to @londonfire.bsky.social for clear-eyed assessment of LTNs. Shame it's unlikely to be accepted by the usual anti-LTN suspects at Times, Telegraph, SEJ etc.
HT @carolinerussell.bsky.social & Rowe for being brave enough to be this clear, despite inevitable rubbish that'll come back...

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.
"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".
