A reminder that the Tories put up the minimum wage by 10% in their last budget
Can’t remember the tabloids whinging
And yet when Reeves puts it up a paltry 4% it’s the end of the world

Did I think about a double cycling world champion while reading this? Yes (thank you @saardr.bsky.social ... or maybe not thank you, I'm not sure)
Finally, a chance to share what I think is one of the silliest things in Law and Order history

This is a really good point. I used to get buttonholed at parties with 'Oh, I thought of you this morning, I saw a cyclist jump a red light'
Got to the point my standard reply was
'Don't know why. I don't think of you when I see an asshole in an *Audi/BMW/Merc* doing something dangerous every day.

Something I've been thinking about a lot lately is how when a driver does something wrong, the public and media don't smear all drivers as reckless assholes. But when a cyclist — and especially an e-biker — does something wrong, all bicyclists get attacked and blamed.

Farage cited Enoch Powell as his political hero in an interview in Total Politics magazine in 2008.
In 2014 he cited Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired.

A small but significant step: Dutch national broadcaster NOS is leaving X.
“The volume of hateful comments and disinformation on X is enormous and flows freely. This also applies under our own posts, meaning we unintentionally contribute to their spread”

Looking at @futbologyapp.bsky.social app, the fan with most check ins at games is long term supporter @mikefarquharson.bsky.social.
We are not being paid for this promotion btw, but a few of our followers do use it to record games and grounds attended.

I hope Mike and I aren’t the only ones and that @adambienkov.bsky.social has got this wrong
Of course it matters
It should matter to everybody matter their politics but for some it won’t matter or if it does it’ll be for racist beliefs

I don't think we're saying it doesn't matter. I think we're saying it won't make much difference to most of his supporters who respect him for it because they seem to believe that he's only saying what everyone else is thinking.
Hopefully a few will be thinking, "Well I can't imagine saying that."

Delighted to see Hotwells School in Bristol maintaining its secular status - and not being taken over by a religious school. Schools should be MORE inclusive and pluralistic - not segregating children according to religion or forcing a particular religion on them.
