@RishiSunak Even if it was true (which it’s proven not to be) it’s a relatively small price to pay to eject your party from government. How much has your Brexit project cost each household per year? #brexitreality

£2094.

@Keir_Starmer Suggestion: Planet first.

Country first. Party second. Always.

It is really important that folks (#cyclists #bikeriders #pedestrians, #publictransport users) complete this. The govt. is attempting to use taxpayers money to curb Local Authourity powers to control poor/dangerous motorist behaviour. Close 11 May. gov.uk/government/cal…

@DanielPriestley Tax aviation fuel = ?

Tax alcohol = people drink less Tax tobacco = people smoke less Tax petrol = people drive less Tax luxury goods = people splurge less Tax incomes = people work less Tax businesses = people are less enterprising A country can't tax it's way to productivity.

@Conservatives I think someone’s hacked your account.

@LeeAndersonMP_ Read up on the efficiency differences ignoramarse. ICE generate a lot of heat and noise.

Net Zero Nonsense. Cutting my lawns with a battery powered lawnmower (a gift) gets you thinking.

@transportgovuk Cars are a stupid way to get around cities (unless you have mobility challenges). LTNs make cities better and help with modal shift.

We’re getting on with delivering our Plan for Drivers, helping people travel in the way that works best for them. More on the latest measures delivered from our plan: gov.uk/government/new…

I’ve joined Greenpeace UK’s Climate Voter campaign, which means I’m helping to show my local candidate that my vote will depend on their commitment to policies that will help secure a liveable future for us all. You can join here: act.gp/3tukAA6

@rachelburden @bbc5live Have you and the 5Live team watched #dontlookup out of interest?

Does the photo distortion matter? How much do you care? What does it tell us about the Royal Family communication machine at the moment, especially when the King is off public duty while he receives treatment for cancer? @bbc5live

@MarinaPurkiss Thank you for using your platform to highlight this. The morning headlines astonish me on a regular basis given the urgency of the challenges we face. #dontlookup nailed it.

In other non-Royal news… “The next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we're used to” But tell me more about that sleeve.

@SOU_Airport Weymouth (by train)?

Guess the destination... 🕵️ Hint: The name of the island comes from an old Latin phrase ‘insula maior’ that means ‘larger island'. Comment with your answer below 👇

@ShallinDurid @pedalmeapp That they can fail on a Friday (which is fine, I accepted the risk and was aware of it) and be trading again under “new ownership” on a Monday!!

@sotonsi @pedalmeapp Which is?

Another Monday! We're pleased to be continuing to be able to serve London.

@BorisJohnson Conman

Four years on from Brexit we celebrate the restoration of this country’s democratic power to make its own laws and rules. With those Brexit freedoms we have introduced improved standards for animal welfare, cut taxes on sanitary products, created greater flexibility for cutting edge industries from financial services to bioscience, done many global free trade deals - and it was at least partly thanks to Brexit that this country had the fastest covid vaccine rollout in Europe. We must retain the appetite and the courage to diverge from the low-growth high-regulation European model. We must at all costs avoid a return to anything remotely like the disastrous “Chequers” formula whereby artificial concerns about the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland are used to keep the whole of the UK in alignment with EU rules.

@robintransition Hear hear! Thank you! I said exactly the same to my partner today! Where is the “shivers down our spine” headline when the IPCC publish? Incredible publication!

Of all the things in 2024 that should be sending shivers down our spines, I might stick my neck out here and say that I think our "threadbare royal resources" are pretty much close to the bottom of that list.

@Nathan_A_RF So the rest implemented at the same time as the trial or after the trial? My concern is it’s just trialling the bud gate trial is you experience some of the negatives without the positives!

@sotonsi The bus gate restrictions will be a trial, the rest is inevitable

Success for Portswood as plans for the transformation of the Broadway are approved! Bus gate, wider pavements, more greenery, improved crossings and more, bringing improved bus travel, improved active travel, more footfall, better business and less polluted traffic! 🎉

@johnedwards0955 @dailyecho @reformparty_uk Research shows that these schemes are proven to benefit businesses. They increase footfall and dwell time which has a positive impact on businesses in the area.

Southampton City Council has been branded ‘insane’ as its cabinet unanimously voted in the highly controversial Portswood Broadway scheme dlvr.it/T1WFcF

@GrumpyBstard_ @BBCNews Can you quantify “most” and provide any data? In my limited experience there’s a vocal (and poorly informed) minority spreading misinformation. My house is insulated (has to be to get the grant). No underfloor heating unfortunately.

Will hotter heat pumps win over homeowners? bbc.in/3S2nN3u
