Firstly, Richard Tice clutching pearls over lack of democracy is laughable. Secondly, this is hugely missed opportunity by Emma Barnett. Move on from Farage, ask about Nathan Gill. That's what we want to hear about #R4Today

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

That was unsurprising, but also mildly disappointing. Tom won on the day. And Aaron won best outfit of all Bake Off time. Still, it's been a cracking series - not a single dud amongst them. Definitely time for a slice of cake! #GBBO

Picture of ebikes E-bikes are a great alternative to using the car for short journeys. But they can be an expensive outlay, particularly if you don’t know if one will fit into your lifestyle and work for you. In this blog, our Project Officer, Beth Harley-Jepson, writes about employer e-bike trials we’ve been funding. West Lothian Bike Library works directly with employers to tailor the trial to best suit their site and staff. Typically, around six e-bikes are provided for a four-week period, but this can be adjusted depending on the size and needs of the organisation. An older person with short white hair, dressed in a navy blue shirt and light grey trousers, stands gesturing with one hand and holding keys in the other. A younger person with long hair tied back, wearing glasses, a black jacket, and jeans, sits on a red bicycle labelled 'GO e-Bike'. They are outside near a building with a sign reading 'West Lothian Bike Library', with greenery and part of the building visible in the background.Before the bikes are loaned out, staff are offered an induction session covering how to use the e-bike safely. There’s also the option for bike training and confidence-building sessions, which are especially helpful for those who might be new to cycling or unsure about tackling longer or more complex journeys.

In this blog, our Project Officer, Beth Harley-Jepson, writes about employer e-bike trials we’ve been funding. To help make it easier for people to try out an e-bike and see how it could be a good transport option, we’re funding West Lothian Bike Library to run an employer bike hire scheme in our region. The purpose is to give staff the chance to try an e-bike for everyday use, whether for commuting, errands or leisure. We’re delighted to see that it’s proving a great way to build confidence, reduce car dependency and encourage more sustainable travel choices.

Watching State of War on ITV, such a powerful documentary, but utterly heartbreaking to see this level of normalised violence existing in Ecuador today. Even sadder that this could literally be filmed anywhere & I wouldn't be surprised #stateofwar

Catching up on the week's events in Ambridge. The Game of Aldridge is the intrigue we've all been missing. Who will win: who knows? But I am here for the DRAMA! #TheArchers #GameOfAldridge

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Kemi Badenoch *literally* spelling out her policies on #R4Today. Pure comedy gold, I really needed a laugh this morning. Give us an 'E'. And possibly a second 'R'. And then some other letters.

For over 60 years, Jane Goodall was a force for research about our precious planet—and climate change action to protect it—while breaking glass ceilings along the way.

I'll so miss her courage and commitment to help expand what we know about our world and preserve it for the generations to come.
