@EatSleepCycle I’m in/mainly out of FB, what surprised me most in the cycle touring groups is the sheer number of people flying around the world to complete their bicycle tours, no different I guess to ‘package holidays’ but still came as a surprise.

People ask, so I want to say something about flying & bike tours. In short, I won't do it. Partly because I love incorporating ferry & train travel into my trips, but mainly because I can't justify to myself taking an aeroplane during a climate emergency, merely to ride my bike.

Sussex has seen a rising number of hate crimes against trans people. Disturbing evidence of the consequences of the government’s disgraceful weaponisation of this issue. As MP for Brighton Pavilion I would always defend and champion trans people.🏳️‍⚧️💚 theargus.co.uk/news/23854628.…

Out early for a morning jog, with few cars around it was wonderfully peaceful and the air was cleaner. #runningforwellbeing

"Saturday morning I woke up at 5am to find out there are a lot of bombs, people are dead. I'm like really in fear. Every time I have the thought of me dying in a bomb in Gaza. Everywhere I go, I run away, I just find bombs and dead people. And maybe one day I'll end up like them. It's a really scary thing for me." British Palestinian schoolgirl Miriam, who was visiting family in Gaza.

Happy Saturday from the Cowes to Newport bike path - also known as NCN 23 🚲 What a brilliant piece of cycling infrastructure. Counted over 50 bikes in the 40 mins we spent on this route - including handcycles, trikes and lots of kids 🤩 Build it and they will come! @iwight

Even under Sunak’s free market utopia (!) I can’t see any scenario in which curtailing of any part of HS2 works out well for road transport, whether that’s the private car or HGVs - let alone passengers along the West Coast Main Line. Reduced rail capacity = impossible roads.
Jon Stone@joncstone

Misery for motorists as Rishi Sunak’s HS2 cut set to add 500,000 lorries to traffic jams. The new line would have freed up capacity for more freight trains on the west coast mainline independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

🔴BREAKING: Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients. We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza. We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

We're taking action to help people with the cost of living. Redirecting funding from HS2 means we can extend the £2 bus fare cap on single journeys in England until 31 December 2024, helping millions more passengers get out and about for less. #GetAroundForTwoPounds
