I've been a big fan of @squidgerugby.bsky.social 's excellent analysis, humour and storytelling for years but this is possibly my favourite moment from the channel yet. Will's expression is priceless!
But more than most cars. Which as you've pointed out, are not allowed on the bridge. I get that the quantity of vehicles matters too, but it hardly helps the messaging around this issue to be driving vehicles across the bridge without a clear use case? mechanicbase.com/cars/car-wei...
Yes they do. I literally pointed you to the exact place that the MAC say they do - page 38 of this document: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/693810... They don't just cancel it out, they exceed it to the tune of £47.1bn as a group over their lifetime.
This is the thread you took issue with. Specifically the third post, which doesn't mention Americans or the article or public space. If you want to argue that amending to "Almost everyone should try an e-bike" would meaningfully improve the lives of disabled people then I'm very willing to listen.
"Leave of absence" is literally the phrase they used as the topic of the letter. The BBC chose to put one phrase they used in quotes and another phrase they used not in quotes:
Are Labour going to stand down in Stockport or Bolton NE at the next General Election to prevent Reform "coming through the back door" or do you envisage this being a one-way arrangement?
It's vital that us Greens are properly scrutinised and that we root out antisemitism when it occurs in our party. Antisemitism needs to be properly called out wherever it occurs and I'm worried this is not happening like it should be in other places on the political spectrum.
May I recommend showing up and building community as a superior strategy to pandering.
Quoting this polling which shows the Green Party is not "the most antisemitic" party in British politics *right now*, much less in history, would be a good start. You could argue that Green voters are actually the *least* antisemitic. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/CA...
The article Zack is sharing here is about replacing the Labour administration on Camden Council; it's not comparable to "referendum on national politics" posts:
Yes, that's what I'm saying - those companies that do have supplies will make a killing, and it's that profit which gets taxed. This is why BPs profits skyrocketed from Feb 2022 when Russia invaded (the rest of) Ukraine, for example:
I mean insulting the voters by claiming (wrongly) that they are stupidly backing a party with no answers is a strategy I suppose.
Not actually very different from their most recent "standard" polling, despite the prompting. Looks like the 7% is made up of 3% Switch from Reform and 4% from Don't know / Other.
As for 'splitting the vote' the polling record shows Labour managed to lose a huge chunk of their 2024 General Election coalition to Reform well before the recent uptick in Green support - which has actually helped peg Reform back; you're welcome. (Source: electionmaps.uk/polling/vi )

I think at this point @robfordmancs.bsky.social has had more literature devoted to him than some of the actual candidates in this election (Labour's 'poll' is a model which asks the question "what would the result be if the anti-reform tactical vote breaks towards Labour?") #GortonandDenton
