Cycling, music, and occasionally wine. Not necessarily in that order or all at once.

On Sky Politics Hub, the whole budget was framed as if somehow the most consequential thing was the OBR accidentally publishing figures an hour early. There are 50 things in there more salient to viewers. I see no way to justify it editorially, other than to construct a hostile narrative. Poor.

A "No cycling" light shows whilst driving next to a cycle lane, #NCN20
Something very wrong with this attitude.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

I agree with a pay per mile driving charge for EVs.
But a key fact that many are missing is that fuel duty has been frozen since 2010 and petrol is cheaper now than 2 decades ago.
It's about time conventional car drivers actually started paying a fair share too.

Ignore the howls around pay-per-mile, chancellor. We can’t afford not to tax electric cars
The issue of how motoring taxes should change as we decarbonise the economy has been dodged for too long. Car salesmen need to get real

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal.
Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on".
Share, to show the PM that you back him going further and faster to improve our deal with the EU. ~AA

Dear Flag Shaggers,
If you buy cheap and nasty flags, made in China, then hang them upside down, ALL you're achieving is disrespecting the Union flag, and the St George's Cross.
As an immigrant, I have enough respect for both flags to NOT do that.
Why don't you respect your own flags?

Ken Murphy is Tesco’s UK CEO and the highest paid supermarket boss.
He gets £9,930,000 a year, but is registered to pay tax in the Republic of Ireland.
Not a penny of his outrageous salary is collected in tax, despite almost all Tesco’s earnings coming from the UK.
It’s theft.
