Trump is so disrespectful. He literally cut in front of Queen Camilla while she was shaking hands. Every day is another embarrassment for our country.

The driver said he was 1.6m away from the bike when he passed. Magistrates at Sheffield Magistrates Court deemed his driving legal and found him not guilty of Inconsiderate Driving (or in other words it wasn't a close - pass!) I'm surprised. @SaferRoadsYorks @Bikery1966

Exclusive: Richard Tice failed to pay £100k in tax, benefiting his investment firm — which then gave big sums to Reform Tice gave contradictory reasons for why four shell companies paid zero tax. @DanNeidle says they flouted "basic" rule, face HMRC probe thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Utter charlatan. I can see why he appealed to Jenrick, whose convictions last for less time than an episode of newsround.

No greater metaphor for this entire week than Pete Hegseth quoting a fake Bible verse from the movie Pulp Fiction to Pentagon staff.

What a fantastic result by @n00dles71! The driver apparently represented themselves and thought he could use the "defence" of Greg not being a police officer and not using a court approved camera. Guilty. 6 points, £500 fine, £974 costs. Plus he will have an appointment with the Traffic Commissioner regarding his HGV licence. youtube.com/watch?v=6YJF5F…

Given the debate in @TfL @MayorofLondon @willnorman on vehicle size - I thought it would be worth sharing this again … When common sense and strong research intersect @LSHTM 👍🏻👍🏻
dr ian greenwood@ian_m_greenwood

#TalkAboutRoadDeath - SUVs and road death Research shows that the likelihood of being killed in road traffic collisions increases significantly for pedestrians and cyclists when the driver is driving a SUV - from @LSHTM ⬇️ lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/new… Headline data from analysis of 600,000 road traffic collisions comparing SUVs with a smaller vehicle : ➕Children are 82% more likely to be killed ➕ Pedestrians or cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed This feels intuitive given the size of SUVs compared to the size of, say, a 6 year old : but shocking nonetheless. #StopRoadDeath Hopefully @transportgovuk @LilianGreenwood @Heidi_Labour @Keir_Starmer have this issue included in the new strategy.

Children hit by an SUV, while walking or cycling, are 77% more likely to be killed than if hit by a smaller car - rising to over 200% for children under nine. That’s why I’ve asked TfL to research the growing impact of supersized SUVs in our city.

Very, very few people are capable of breaking the speed limit, even the 20mph one, on a bicycle. Legal electric-assist bicycles in the UK are limited to 15mph. The problem being identified here is with illegal electric motorcycles and e-scooters, which are nothing to do with cycling.

@BobFromAccounts @FestAKINBUSOYE Notice how the approaching cyclist is riding slowly and seems fully aware of the presence of the visually impaired pedestrian. It would be a completely different story had the pedestrian wanted to walk the other way - pedestrian would risk being hit by a driver.

Surely, there's a law that makes daft ideas like floating bus stops illegal! How can sticking a two-way cycle lane right next to a bus stop and pavement not a health hazard to all? Just look at this awful situation. I wonder if this is Chiswick High Street. Disaster!
Vincent Stops@VincentStops

This blind man has travelled by bus independently all his life. But he can no longer use this stop as he is must alight onto an island with no idea where he is and has a two-way cycle track to cross! The government has done this so cyclists ‘feel’ safe. Alt below.

Hard to believe none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting former Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison for his Kremlin propaganda work? Or en route to their next BBC interview to help with their propaganda work here?

As close as anyone will ever get to an apology from The Orange ManBoy. But now he needs to say the same to the other 31 countries he insulted

If it wasn’t for us Trump would be speaking Apache. His comments on NATO troops holding back from the front line, given his draft dodging and his general contempt for all but himself, is disgusting even by his standards. It really is time for George W Bush to say something about how countries like ours, and so many others, came to US rescue
