We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.
It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.
I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter
Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Switzerland is “rich in something vanishingly rare in the rest of the world: common sense. This is most apparent in the way the Swiss get around…a model of sensible, sustainable — and yes, even enjoyable — transit. It’s simply the best transportation system in the world.” Via @taras-grescoe.com

The UK offers ideal pear-growing conditions – but only around 8% of pears sold here are home grown. Traditional orchards are excellent habitats for wildlife, but they're now rare – so planting pear and apple trees can really help boost biodiversity.

From the start of October, everyone should be wearing string backed driving gloves in their car. It's such a shame that so many people don't do this. No wonder the standard of driving has dropped in the last 20 years.

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference.
“One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception.
“The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

Obesity (and subsequent musculoskeletal problems), heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are all reduced by being more active in day to day life. The benefits are very real, both for individuals and for society at large.
