This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Why do drivers bang on about cyclists wearing hi viz and helmets when they can't even avoid poles that have lights on them? If they can knock over a metal pole then a helmet won't do much.

Today I successfully interviewed for Biomedical Scientist job, and I’m pretty happy that all that study has paid off. Also a bit scared 😬

In the tea room at work today.

Colleague: Why can’t I drive to work without there being roadworks?

Me: Because they need to repair the damage that people driving to work do to the roads.

Silence.

Oops. 🤷‍♀️

60% of women limit how much they cycle due to safety concerns.🚲

Too often women must choose between busy roads with little protection or quieter routes with poor lighting. Both are unsafe.

I’m calling on the Government to build the infrastructure needed to make women feel safe on our roads.

This has come to my attention. It’s my partner when he was in his 20’s. I still don’t trust him near a skateboard.

This #Norwich driver didn't like being asked to move back as I was trying to pass in the cycle lane. There was no-one behind at this point, but instead of reversing he said "It's 7am!". Then he said he was a "keen cyclist" himself, still not reversing to let me pass.

This spring, Norwich Cycling Campaign is launching a Women’s Cycling Safety Audit — a city-wide project to understand how safe cycling feels for women, girls and gender-diverse people in Norwich, and what needs to change to make everyday cycling work better for everyone. 1/4

Went to the supermarket for loo roll and left with olives, trifle, hummus, wine, and stock pot envy.

Currently bribing the 3rd in line to my estate to bring home loo roll in exchange for trifle.

When John Higgins walked on to play I could only hear the theme from Bod in my head. It would be brilliant if he could use it from now on.

I hope the driver is okay, and also anyone who may have been entering or leaving the park at the time. The cycling/pedestrian sign was knocked down in the process, but had been propped up when I was on my way home.

I love a drop leaf table. Do other people have a favourite kind of table?

"If you don't allow parking on the pavement, parked cars will have to block the road!" is just shifting the externalities of the fundamental problem - that there are too many cars - onto pedestrians, and particularly onto disabled pedestrians. If there's not space to pass, there's not space to park.
Unwisely read the comments on an article about banning pavement parking & there's loads of people saying "I never see disabled people being impeded by pavement parking!"

1. Are you paying attention?
2. People avoid routes they know will be impeded.
3. Inaccessibility discourages mobility aid use.

You cannot open fire on someone just because you feel threatened by their vehicle. If that were acceptable, or moral, I could have assaulted 100’s of drivers last year alone. But I wouldn’t.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

It’s a bit cold in the house this morning. Hoping we can get the boiler fixed today without too much expense. I’ve had to pay my registration fees as well as renewing my passport in order to register, so I could do without a broken boiler!

So many drivers about who haven’t fully cleared their field of vision. It’s just not safe with these lazy, selfish idiots on the road.

Buses cancelled and hazardous pavements. Cycle lanes not gritted. Don’t tell me that we don’t live in a car-centric society. I’ll be more than an hour late for work. This is embarrassing @norfolkcc.bsky.social

I guess not many people had "Stop being a cunty driver" down as a New Years resolultion judging by my commute for the first few days of 2026.

I’m in a quiet cul-de-sac. I’m having my breakfast and having to listen to neighbours run their engines for what feels like an eternity before they leave. I’ll be leaving for work on my bike in an hour and won’t disturb a soul.
Bikes are far nicer for society.
