#CarBrain entitlement is β€œI have to use the pavement as a parking space because where I would normally park is closed”. The exchange ended thusly:

β€œBut you’re not in a wheelchair”

β€œNo but I give a shit about society which is the difference between you and me”

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.

This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.

And we're making hope normal again - together.

Bravo! I’ve only managed β€œtake the very similar personal laptop with you by mistake” (twice).

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Hard to see that happening in a borough that voted for Susan Hall eh.

This is what happens when unqualified people are allowed to fulfill something on an engineering checklist.

Do we let ignorant people design and install car parking? No. So we have to stop doing it with bike parking. Speak up, make friction for your leaders that allow this ridiculousness.

The fact of Valentine's Day is mere coincidence but I doubt I shall ever send anything more romantic to someone than the 112 characters (including white space) of prose I did today.

Nothing brings out homicidal feelings quite like traversing Westminster Bridge by foot.

My hand with chrome light blue nails against an old German Peter Stuyvesant advertising calendar featuring a stylised graphic of the tail plane of a Jumbo Jet. The calendar is of the type that is manually set using wheels. The date reads β€œSamstag 14 Februar”

I’ve just seen the phrase social-first executions on a slide deck and I hope I don’t read anything more terrifying this week.

The good thing about knowing a lot of neighbours is that that there’s always someone available to write on you at short notice.

This might not be in line with modern thinking on relaxation but I feel a strong need to take a long bath while drinking vermouth.

Labour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election.

The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

Exclusive: Zack Polanski Accuses Nigel Farage Of 'Running Scared' Of Head-To-Head Debate The Reform leader said "if you pick a fight which a chimney sweep you get covered in soot".

We have 400 volunteers on the streets of Gorton and Denton today.

Labour are out of it. It's Greens vs Reform.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party.

Just remember that as they continue to attack us.

This is who they are. Mask is off.

One of the most memorable British Leyland brochure covers of the '70s was for its detailed full-range car line-up. The clever artwork turned the company's 'plughole' logo into something akin to Birmingham's 'spaghetti junction' motorway intersection, a showcase for various BL models. #weirdcarbs

Febumwary energy

Whatever else I do in 2026, I promise you this:

I will always celebrate my trans family's thirst posts, W's, and little moments of joy.

And I will always commiserate with y'all's losses, struggles, and pain.

There's not enough of that in this world, and there should be. πŸ’œ

Hello @ricardoautobahn.co.uk I very much enjoyed the Spray pop music concert in east London last autumn and was wondering if you are panning another? (Followers please note I am not affiliated with the Spray organisation and received no money for this endorsement).
