Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit. We should not roll out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Add your name to the petition: https://t.co/nEmFBSWsiP via @38degrees

Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead. This is the...

What a terrible take on Zelenskyy & Trump by @BBCsarahsmith implying that Zelenskyy is somehow to blame for making Trump angry & that he should have eaten "humble pie." What a truly dire take from the #BBC & what is meant to be one of their leading correspondents.

Scientists at Warwick University believe that the bike shop standard ebike is, without doubt, of next to no risk to the consumer. Manufactured ebike fire rates are far lower than those seen in internal combustion engine cars. Perhaps now we can have a reset of the current
A groundbreaking report commissioned by the Gov's product safety body appears to vindicate the e-bike sector in the context of fires. Wide-ranging testing finds "correlation between price-per-unit-of-energy of PLEV batteries & safety outcomes" https://t.co/nxoeis5nUe

E-bikes are not popular with media as far too efficient - especially e-cargo variants that can do the job of a small car in town at a fraction of fuel and tax cost.
A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people. Sound efficient? HT @circulareconomy
