Dockless bikes are a great idea implemented badly. They get left on the pavement, blocking wheelchairs and buggies. What we should do is remove car parking space on ever street and require riders to leave their dockless bikes in those designated parking bays.

How to deal with a narcissist. I hadn’t heard about this until yesterday. There’s some interesting data behind these titles and definitely worth reading up about it.

Poor people will simple get jobs that pay more, according to Mel Stride.
I'm not sure why they don't do that already but that's why I'm not a serious politician.
