Today three times I crossed a zebra crossing across queuing traffic.

And all three times there was a stationary car across the black and white lines.

Why? What’s wrong with these drivers? It costs them nothing to wait, and make it safer

What’s the big deal? Too many people are dying on the roads.

The UK – the world's biggest enabler of tax dodging – just voted AGAINST the #UNTaxConvention.

✅125 countries backed it
❌9 opposed

Jacob Bethell in first class cricket for Warwickshire in 2024…..
16 innings
Four 50s
Zero 100s
53rd most runs in div1
6th most for Warwickshire
Only 7 wickets.

Doesn’t feel worth a test debut to me. Which means he’ll probably get a debut century!

World will be ‘unable to cope’ with volume of plastic waste in 10 years, warns expert.
Another example of the utter failure of the #FreeMarket. If corporations can make money by passing on the costs of dealing with pollution to the rest of us, then they WILL.

Born 130 years ago today, Herbert Sutcliffe still has the highest Test batting average (60.73) of any England player to have a career of any lengHerbeth. His success came from determination and an ice-cold temperament rather than brilliance and he always put the team first

It’s all very well Liz Kendall sounding off about people’s “self-diagnosed” mental health issues, but does she have any idea how nigh on impossible it is these days to get in front of someone qualified to diagnose complex / youth MH, ie a psychiatrist? Even very ill people often being fobbed off.
