My stepdad @ChrisGPackham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden + sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife.
I stand by him wholeheartedly

Hey @BorisJohnson, thought I’d do a survey to help you read the room.
A simple question:
Should Stanley Johnson (Boris Johnson’s father) receive a knighthood?

You know you have a mainstream cycling culture when this is how helmets and hi-viz are used around young children.👷♀️👷

Just a reminder that when the British arrived in 1700s, India had 27% of global GDP. But after 200 years of theft and millions starved to death, by 1947 India had 3% of global GDP, 90% living below the poverty line, a literacy rate of 17% and life expectancy of 27.
I mourn them.

5 years ago 72 people died because they were trapped in a government mandated death trap. 5 years later and we can’t forget their names. We must continue to fight for justice for them and their families. 💚💚✊🏾 #Justice4Grenfell

Following the PM’s speech today on #housing policy, we are with @BBCLondonNews & @SharonBarbour in Croydon at @tideconstruct’s College Road site, designed by @HTADesignLLP, talking about how modular construction can deliver homes 50% faster and with up to 45% less embodied CO2.

If you really care about the safety of cyclists and children, lobbying for helmets and hi-viz is the LAST THING you should do.
Don't worry though: Risk management theory gives you clear new goals to fight for. Go for it!

With e-bike's assist restricted by law to 15mph, but this Tesla's power and acceleration being fawned over, is it possible that we have a cultural and policy blind spot when it comes to cars?
