100 years ago today, Gandhi was put in jail in India, then still under British rule. His crime: “Uttering or writing words exciting disaffection towards the government established by law.” Placed in solitary confinement, he used his time to write a children’s schoolbook.

"I take bus or rail regularly, but relying solely on transit without a car as a ‘back-up’ taught me a lot. I challenge everyone—and especially policymakers—to spend a #WeekWithoutDriving to learn about the communities we serve and to guide even stronger regional connections." -TW

Cycling to work is a good start to the day. As an MP, I often cycled to work, weather permitting. Today was the first time cycling to the office since I became Prime Minister in January 2021. Hopefully I can #biketowork more frequently in the summer.
