This was the best media conversation I've had on Brexit in YEARS! 😍 I discussed Ursula Von Der Leyen telling young people to reverse Brexit on LBC with @IainDale.

Accepting SUVs in cities is complicity with the deaths and devastation they cause. Ban them.

@willnorman If enforcing speed limiters and geofences on scooters, why not on cars? Please explain.

I very much hope that e-scooter legislation will be included in the Kings Speech. E-scooters can't be uninvented, so we urgently need government regulations to make them safer - including speed limits, battery standards & clarity on their legal status. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@willnorman @googlemaps @TfL @Google Looks to me like it still sends you down the absolute hellscape of a road between Deptford and London Bridge, the A200. Half a cycleway built, but halfway along, like a train to Manchester it just stops. Why?

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents. In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy. It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.

@willnorman If the road is known to be dangerous, why aren't there measures to prevent speeding + make it safer? Chicanes, speed-bumps, bollards, cameras. Their absence is negligence. @willnorman the people who design these roads should be held accountable for deaths on them.

@jburnmurdoch @floating_home This is irrelevant; certain people being NIMBYs doesn't make nuclear the right answer. The better, cheaper technology should win. It's renewables. Argue about base load or storage, but don't claim the nuclear proposals we have are cheaper.

@IanDunt May be true for customers but flipped when it comes to employee treatment. Take NHS employee-side admin: a Kafkaesque nightmare designed to squeeze out life; never joined-up; incompatible systems; deliberately cruel and bureaucratic for the sake of discouraging dissent.

But it's telling that the political world continues to treat private companies as innately more efficient, and yet it is very hard to agree with that assessment when you're in the 45th minute of being kept on hold by a computer for some minor change in your account.

Have spent the day moving direct debits to a new bank account. The striking thing is how much more efficient the public sector is than the private sector. Every private sec interaction - broadband, mobile etc - has been a nightmare. TV licence and council tax were a breeze.

Ham Gate, Richmond Park. So much for 20mph. And to think @theroyalparks continue to ban e-scooters for undermining the ambience of the green spaces. Ban cars from this nature reserve. @MPSRoyal_Parks

What's regrettable, Darwalls, is that people such as yourselves are, by dint of money and nothing else, self-appointed "custodians". Give it to the public if you're such good people. Wild camping allowed on Dartmoor again after court appeal succeeds theguardian.com/environment/20…

I delivered the largest number of LTNs in the U.K. This is what they do: * Halve road injuries. * Eliminate rat-running. * Reduce pollution, even at boundaries. * Reduce street crime. Rishi Sunak wants to impose these scourges on you and your family. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

4. Towns and cities are not trying to move away from car use for short trips for no reason. A shift to active travel and public transport makes places healthier, cleaner, safer, happier, and more socially just. This is not in dispute.

@willnorman @TfL Your own phrasing suggests you think this is terrible, and it is. A city which cannot afford to build a dedicated bridge or tunnel for cycles and pedestrians, but dedicates countless billions to new infrastructure for more cars. Embarrassing.

Silvertown Tunnel Bike Bus: @tfl is consulting on bike shuttle options for the Silvertown Tunnel. I hope these plans will mean that cyclists will benefit from easier travel between the Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown. Have your say. standard.co.uk/news/transport…

Recently visited Edinburgh City Council's Transport Committee to outline the evidence demonstrating that LTNs: * Halve road injuries. * Halve motor vehicle movements. * Improve air quality, even at boundaries. * Reduce violent and sexual street crime. twitter.com/blackfordsafer…

Does the council in Kensington actually have a transport department? The only thing that stops cyclists dying on their notorious High Street is that most are too scared to ride a bike down it. Come on, @RBKC, we only need ONE safe route through your borough.
