Reform leader #NigelFarage is in the 🇺🇸 to talk about the importance of free speech. So I ask him to explain why his party has banned local UK reporters from speaking to them in Nottingham? @BBCNews

Encouraging walking for short shopping trips can help boost trade in local neighbourhoods. Data from London shows pedestrians visit their high streets most frequently. What's more, they spend up to 40% more over a month than people who drive to the high street.

A huge 81% of trips under one mile are now being walked or wheeled. With the average distance walked at the highest level since records began, at 230 miles per person in 2024. Great to see fantastic walking statistics in today's National Travel Survey. https://t.co/C8sdAYLdsr

The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives. In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%. That's why we need to see more 20mph areas. https://t.co/kRJEtSGgbN

Defacing road markings is an offense under the Highways Act 1980. Some seem to be confusing vandalism and patriotism. I hope those responsible will be made to pay to have the graffiti removed.

MR4P with Cllr Jan French & Matt Wright (project manager) on Thursday in March town centre. We learnt loads about the £multi-million pound public realm transformation there. Takeaway #1: strong political leadership required! @richardhowitt @CambsCC

And so the paper of law and order, the Daily Mail, like the Tory leadership, seeks to turn Lucy Connolly into a people’s hero… we sink, day by day, towards a national nastiness and hate which is being normalised by people who should know better.

@antmiddleton Oh dear Anthony. Your definition would rule out the current King of England who's our head of state. It would have ruled out Winston Churchill from being Prime Minister too.

@antmiddleton And yet a 2nd generation immigrant like myself has never been to prison, let alone for assaulting a police officer like yourself. So which of the two of us has made the bigger net contribution to British society Ant?

Media coverage is fuelling a backlash against e-bikes. But often, the stories aren't even about e-bikes at all. Last week, the BBC reported that an "e-bike" was involved in a serious incident. But it was actually a high-powered electric motorbike. Here's how it got changed..🧵

Hey @LivEchonews 2 questions: Why is 'success' in inverted commas? And why is the 23% drop in the number of people killed or seriously injured not the headline? These are incredible results Wirral can be proud of.
