A growing body of research shows that 20mph is making our roads safer, reducing the number of people killed & seriously injured, while have little impact on journey times & no increase in pollution etc. But still the naysayers will kick off … see predicable comments below!

10 years this month since the awful images of Alan Kurdi dead on a Turkish beach went viral and - briefly - looked like they would prompt real change. But a decade later, the West is more hostile to refugees than ever before.

Could not be prouder. Matilda nailed her A levels and is off to Leeds to read Politics and Philosophy. She may have to teach me how to take a selfie as well. #prouddadtweet

Ecstasy pills are back to pre-Covid strengths with an average of TWO doses in ONE pill. Over 95% of pills do contain MDMA & very few are adulterated. Most people become unwell from taking too much. Please don’t be one of them. #TakeQuarterSipWater #GoSlowStayLow #JustSayKnow

What do we know from The Loop’s 2025 testing? * 1 pill is not 1 dose: average pill strength = 192mg MDMA (nearly 2 adult doses) * Pills are high & variable strength: containing 1-3 doses or more * Adulteration is low * None were nitazenes #TakeQuarterSipWater #DontDoubleDrop

We don’t know what the pills were bought as, implicated in 2 deaths & 1 hospitalisation last weekend, but we do know they came home from clubbing & we do know they took nitazene pills very similar to ones tested by The Loop 2 months ago. Test & take care, whatever pills you take.

📣♾️📣 2 deaths last weekend in London were from pills confirmed as #nitazenes & similar to pills tested by The Loop. They looked like oxys BUT it is not known what they were bought as. Take care whatever pills you take. Carry #naloxone, check in on friends & test if you can.

It's 26 years since we lost our good friend and mentor, Rob Gretton. This is a remix of Dirty Boy which our friend Paul did with his voice on it. So beautiful to hear his dulcet tones again. Gone but not forgotten! https://t.co/EpIYHlrxKV

26 years today since Rob Gretton died, so I thought I'd share again my piece on growing up together in Wythenshawe and how he was the reason I got into sleeve design, which played a big part in kickstarting the life and career I've subsequently enjoyed: https://t.co/GmHu9brgsG
