The new Cycleway link between the British Library and Mornington Crescent is complete - just waiting for signage to be delivered. 🚲🚲🚲🚲

This nice little route goes along Crowndale Rd, Goldington St, Purchese St & Ossulton St in Camden

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

Outstanding piece by Stephen Daisley.

Ethnicity is no barrier to Britishness - it's culture and integration.

That means 'smaller cohorts and aggressive integration policies' - and tackling the institutions that 'have amplified grievance narratives and radical anti-Western ideologies'.

London's Network of Cycleways is continuing to grow and get even better. 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲

Great to see the temporary cycle lanes on Haverstock Hill being made permanent by Camden Council - this includes new kerbs to protect cyclists, raised zebras and new bus stop bypasses.

👏👏

This sounds so familiar. I don't think we had any equipment, but I just remember vast expanses of concrete. Good for playing marbles though.

BBC News leading with completely groundless claims by Farage. Absolutely ridiculous. What happened to journalistic analysis?

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 9d

I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.

I decided this was unacceptable.

Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

The government delegating some highly technical tasks to independent experts doesn't create a democratic deficit, but it does avoid wishful thinking.

Good to meet the Indian high commissioner Vikram Doraiswami. We discussed the recent awful defacement of the statue of Gandhi in Tavistock Square and our shared efforts to look after and restore it.

It was great to see around inside the Black Cap, whose renovation is now under way! Among the many things that have got us to this point are the determination of the council and use of planning policy to protect this as a cabaret and LGBT venue 💪🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The turmoil and stirring of hatred of the last decade has genuinely been elite-led (in multiple domains) and this isn't recognised nearly enough.

Stephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 12d

The radicalisation happening of UK elites is bad, bodes ill for the future, but is also, to be clear, really really funny quite a lot of the time.

Jessica Elgot @jessicaelgot.bsky.social · 12d

The Fabians thing is hilarious. Probably the first time a conspiracy has genuinely made me laugh out loud.

It’s terrible when people try and impose a particular lifestyle on you and undermine society. But enough about Danny Kruger’s opposition to abortion, same sex marriage and human rights.

Don’t let these jokers get away with it. Swipe left for the corrected version.

Today Sky News was flashing up that "Nigel Farage is on course to be prime minister". We are NOT in the middle of a general election campaign. This was presented as a "top story". Absolutely ridiculous and another example of the media going bananas.

I'd also lay odds that the category of "sex education" includes LGBT support sites. So you're also cutting off some of the most vulnerable kids from vital support.
