Otherwise we risk pushing ourselves into an ideological cul-de-sac. The standard deviation model is true in politics. Most people are in the middle. We can work with the bell curve or become the bell-ends. We need to make that decision. I fear the electorate already is!...

Look at top four here. This is why there is so little left over for any kind of infrastructure. And why your pension will end up paying. Column coming!

As a wheelchair user I want this ban extended throughout the UK. I've put my life at risk by having to wheel onto a busy road as pavement was blocked by parked vehicles. I know many disabled people, parents with buggies etc, who have had similar dangerous experiences.
Motorists in Edinburgh face a £100 fine for parking on pavements, as the city becomes the first in Scotland to implement the ban.

@GaryNHughes I promised to write you a thread on HMT attitudes towards UK Rail from the early ‘80’s and how there are parallels with today’s chaotic system. As a background I’ve included a graph of rail passenger journeys to cover the timespan. It’s always a good indicator. 1/13

"Sweden: the land with no rail booking offices, yet many ways to buy train tickets" > fab piece this. I'd suggest that this is what productivity looks like. And us Brits need to decide whether we think it's a price worth paying or not. independent.co.uk/travel/new…

This is a really great read from @CharlotteIvers. And to make it doubly depressing, this is also how all the older millennials I know, who have kids and older parents who do regularly need the state, feel too.

1/ This news story confirms what many in the #rail industry both forecast and feared – a WFH driven worst of all worlds, still having to provide the same peak service Tues-Thurs, but trains half empty Mon & Fri. But what can be done?
