When your kid is asking you why do we keep a car in front of the house and you realise you haven’t used it for nearly 5 months.. #cargobike

This used to be a space for one car..

Super proud of my girl!

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler. Parts 2 & 3 below👇)

@RosinJonathan @ZviLam @_spez_ זמני (וצפוי) לגמרי. תוך חודש חודשיים נפח התנועה על ה-טאור ברידג׳ יחזור למה שהיה לפני הפתיחה.

@ZviLam @_spez_ בטוח.

לחובבי גביית תשלום על כבישים, תופעה חדשה בלונדון: מאז שנפתחה לפני שבוע מנהרת הרכב Silvertown במזרח העיר, הן היא והמנהרה הוותיקה הצמודה לה Blackwall הן בתשלום. התוצאה כרגע – גודש כבד יותר במרכז העיר, כשנהגים מעדיפים לסוע דרך מנהרת Rotherhithe ובגשר Tower Bridge הותיק, כי הם בחינם.

@joncstone @OpenChiswickW4 Agree, but one step at a time..

@raphaelzy3 @OpenChiswickW4 hmm feels like a zebra would probably have been better there tbh! am thrilled with how good the overall setup looks though

Cycling across Hammersmith Bridge in the space that used to carry over 20,000 cars per day is never going to get old.

@joncstone @OpenChiswickW4 Only until you push the button..

@OpenChiswickW4 are the traffic lights set to perma-green out of interest?

@TradesOnBikes @CarryMe_Bikes @RichmondCycling @London_Cycling Low Traffic Neighbourhood: more than just for cyclists. #LTN

@TradesOnBikes @CarryMe_Bikes @RichmondCycling @London_Cycling Remove through traffic from residential road and you’ll get a healthier school run. It’s that simple.

Eliminating through-traffic can lead to all sorts of wonderful things. #HealthyStreets #LTN

Let’s make Oxford Street a place for people we can be proud of. haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/oxford-street #placemaking

@andree_frieze Absolutely. But for many (and not necessarily Jewish) your party lost so much credit now and it is no longer a serious option when it comes to voting in general election and for me personally, following an exchange with a local cllr, also in local elections. sad times.

@raphaelzy3 I know, that's why I said this. To show that not all Greens see the conflict that way. I'm tired of hearing only one view from the majority of Greens. We are not a monolith, and I have the right to express my view.

I am Human, I am Jewish, I am Green. I say this to any Jew who needs to hear someone from @TheGreenParty say this: "I hear your anguish - and condem the abhorrent act by Hamas of taking children, women, and older people hostage. 🧵 1/3

@andree_frieze Thank you Andree but sadly these words are worlds apart from your nation-wide, London and Richmond fellow party members who time and time again expressed cursory, over-simplistic, one-sided views and lack of depth in knowledge on a complex conflict. Real shame.

"I understand your fear - and recognise Hamas as a terrorist group set up with the aim of killing all Jews and destroying the nation of Israel." 🧵 3/3

Hammersmith Bridge closure from a different age! youtube.com/watch?v=FejTvS…

@Richard83923480 There was absultly no personal insult there, though probably quite unpleasant to realise you’ve been supporting ethnic cleansing yourself all this time.. what did you think “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” means!? (No need to answer)

@raphaelzy3 This is just personal insult rather than rational conversation. Let us end it.

So Trump reveals that Gaza should be emptied - “cleaned out”. The Palestinian population sent to Egypt and Jordan. The Israeli objective all along and full of development opportunities for seashore condos. Something new and disgusting every day.

@Richard83923480 So your hate towards israel legitimises a call for it to be erased from the world map but at the same you are outraged by an unverified Israeli document mentioning ethnic cleansing of Palestinians!? 🤯 and you think that I’m more biased than you.. 🤣

@raphaelzy3 Terrible actions by a “terrible Israeli government. So terrible that you have to expect hatred rather than passive acceptance. They are occupied and oppressed. However they are almost powerless. Israel backed by US weaponry is not.

@Richard83923480 When you chant “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free”, what do you think it means, if not ethnic cleansing?? /2

@Richard83923480 While I’m the last person to defend the actions/positions of this terrible Israeli government, ethnic cleansing/population transfer was never adopted or even suggested formally by Israel. Sadly this is the stated aim of the Palestinian leadership in Gaza. /1

@Richard83923480 Using terms like “good guys” just proves the inability of many in the west to think about this conflict beyond the bindery thinking of bad/good, right/wrong etc.. I know I’d leave a bit of doubt and humility when expressing views about something i don’t really know much about. 2/

@Richard83923480 Sadly based on your conviction I believe you’re much more biased than me. My main point is that this conflict is so complex it’s near impossible for most to judge the situation “from a distance”. 1/
