Very much into nature and environment, climbing, mountains, music, cycling 🌿 plus dark humour, photos and learning French. Up north. UK.

Reached a big milestone tonight. Depending how you measure it, the e-bike has now paid for itself! Phew. A 21-mile hilly round trip to work. So much more enjoyable than driving #Ebike #Cycling #Activetransport

"A proportion of the water has been used to fill the lake"... suitably vague, but this could of course mean 99%.

It's very simple.

The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money.

Not the people with hardly any money.

It really shouldn't need explaining.

Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer.
FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?

Looks like we are now live-broadcasting Reform events on mass deportation plans on major TV channels including the BBC. We've just published a study showing that this type of coverage moves public opinion in an extreme direction & normalises those ideas further: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
Push is such a great song. One of the best.

Same. I cycle 10 miles each way over a big hill, c. 300m. Too much day-in day-out on a normal bike. Having an e-bike makes it easy. Only takes 10 mins more than driving and so much more enjoyable.

Thank you. Labour's approach on wildlife protection has been dire, so ignorant and arrogant, and so much damaging rhetoric. Respect to you for calling it out.

Hardly. Just doing his job to make sure a rushed and poorly thought through piece of legislation doesn't have unitended negative impacts.

Fascism doesn’t show up wearing jackboots. It shows up in suits, stacks the courts, and calls the press “the enemy.” You don’t need to guess anymore. Here are the 10 signs—and what you must do now.👇
