Highly recommend following @DominicWaghorn who is in Tehran for @SkyNews

Incredible letter in @thetimes

Actually, google maps was pessimistic, the circumnavigation of London that I had been dreading all week took 19 minutes.

Three cheers for state efficiency. Passport renewal appointment = 380 seconds. Wait for train to morning meeting = 180 seconds. Customs House to Paddington (a journey of 11 miles) 25 minutes on the Lizzie line. #notbroken

For next time you're traveling in London here's a brilliant live tube map, where you can zoom in and out of the network to see where all trains are. Created by Ben James londonunderground.live

It’s hard for anyone who was not then alive to know how full the 1990s were with hope. Britain’s economic decline had reversed. Martial prowess had been rediscovered in the Falklands War. Communism had failed. Investment was inward. Wallets had more money in them.…

London at rush hour today in February when its 1 degree celsius🥶

In Baku today it is as if there are five @DavidLammy clones. He is everywhere at COP & making a huge & hugely positive impression.  I can’t exaggerate how great it is to have such a senior figure drag the focus away from the technocratic one-dimensional focus on carbon counting towards championing the actual natural world we all depend on and without which we haven’t a hope of stabilising the climate. It is wonderful to see & so good to have the UK back & leading on this, the most important cause of all 👏🌎👏

The success of the King's Cross area of London is one of the world's finest examples of a big state using bucketloads of cash and institutions to crowd in huge amounts of private sector investment. Was it a one off? Or can we do the same elsewhere? econ.st/4eMSqmB

the 2024 tube passenger stats are out: useful context that shows when we talk about passengers being 'down' since Covid, they are 'down' to 2012-13 levels and growing from there, not some fatal historic shift in how people travel. Covid bought the tube a decade of breathing room

@forduk Nice work. @forduk will you have one of the new Explorers on your stand at the Everything Electric show in London this weekend?

Finish line crossed. ✅ Charge Around The Globe Completed. 🌎 Lexie Limitless is officially the first to circumnavigate the world in an electric vehicle, the Electric Ford Explorer Visit ford-catg.recordsetter.com for details

My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share

@createstreets @CarlosMorenoFr @boys_nicholas @France_urbaine @LaTribune Agree with all that. It is absolutely glorious. It is also absolutely terrifying to find yourself accidentally driving through as a visitor! I guess that’s partly the point….

A longer 🧵 than intended (🤨) Finally, a huge huge thank you to the inspirational @CarlosMorenoFr for all his marvellous work & for so kindly inviting our founder @boys_nicholas to fascinating #ForumZéroCarbone with @France_urbaine and @LaTribune at #Toulouse

Ever heard of Toulouse as a city centre whose improved street design is revolutionising local prosperity? It’s not normally lauded as a case study. But quality of the street design is staggering. The results are stunning. Literally no empty shops in town centre. How? A short 🧵

@SpursOfficial Chapeau!
