Telegraph has never been to my taste but it did used to be a serious newspaper. Would read the occasional article but I've started blocking it wherever it turns up now.

The next question is where do the unions start putting their support if the Labour Party don't get their act together.

It's increasingly clear that the British public are tired of their politics being increasingly distorted by right wing media interests where our choices have become significantly limited and myopic. The greens aren't in the pocket of those interests and it shows.

there's something reassuring about the smell. less likelyhood of bams hanging out waiting to jump you and steal your bike.

Grew up with vinyl but cassettes and CDs and then MP3s were the soundtrack to my life cause I needed portability. I'm heading back to CDs after a 10+ year daliance with streaming.

If they're pop ups in the corner of the screen I can maybe live with it but if it's cutting away from the game it can get in the bin.

What a 26 mile trip at 4.30 in the morning? Extra 10 mins to drop the Mrs off. Really?
Fully expecting the fridge freezer has to go with you as well?
Its not about bicycles.
Motorbikes/mopeds exist. Guess they're too dangerous with all the cars on the road?
But sure dude, have a pop at cyclists.

The car lobby have had a stranglehold on the EEN for years.
Lived/cycled/driven Edinburgh my whole life and despite having some of the best public transport in the UK car ownership is ballooning. It's a wealthy city but theres no excuse for more than one car per household.

1 car max per household as a starter.

I'm lucky enough to live near forestry that's grown old with me. Always gut wrenching when they clear them, there's now at least new growth coming through that'll likely outlive me.

Can't shake the suspicion that a fair amount of his Cameo activity is a money laundering scam.

As much as I've enjoyed the gym this year today is the day I get my goto bike fixed so I can get back out on the trails/road.
Still not quite got my head round how the gear cable managed to wrap itself a full rotation round the bottom bracket from a loose branch on the path.

Social media companies are publishers. They edit the feed and take broad rights over content; the law should recognise them as editors, not carriers, and prosecute as appropriate.

Nobody wins out of all of this. The chaos and manuevering is going to destroy the hard fought stability the world has been building, it still had a long way to go hit we're in danger of spiralling backwards.

Pulls up the bbc iplayer.
"Would I Lie To You" with guest David Walliams could be interesting.

Cory Doctorow pretty much nails the drivers of this in his book Enshitification.

Riddle me this. Why is the language around bikes/bicycles/e-bikes and motorbikes being so badly handled by journalists?
