As far as I’m concerned oasis had a couple of half decent songs that would have benefited from a better singer. The rest of it was hype, and very far removed from the working class they were alleged to represent. Pulp were the real band of the common people. #OasisHype

All six Tory leadership contenders have pledged to fight VAT on private schools. Not one of them has promised more money for state schools. And there you have it.

Since I got my car in December I have done 2587 miles. I wish we had a car club. I really don't see the point of car ownership.

I do wish my doctors surgery would put in a couple of bicycle hoops so I could cycle there instead of driving NHS Fife

Keep down the prison population by not jailing people for peaceful protests. Or even for being subpostmasters.

I’ve always said we build too many safety features into vehicles. Drivers think (wrongly) they won’t be injured, and become complacent with everyone’s safety lacking any inclination to responsibility towards pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders etc. #OverEngineered #RoadSafety

It would appear normality will be restored to Scotland by midweek…

Why don't they get women to design panniers bags? I want one with dividers or at least pockets, like a handbag. I am sick of having to put a handbag inside an omnisack type pannier bag. It's like women's clothes - give us some flipping pockets!!! #panniers #cycling #womencycling

There is one thing I don't miss about not living in the Highlands...

It's hardly surprising. People seek solace and an escape when their lives are unbearably difficult. If they want to cut drinking they need to look at why people drink and deal with that. #drinking #earlydeath #health #Scotland

This is deeply powerful. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

So Have I Got News For You is taking a pop at cyclists on Facebook this morning. Thanks for that, yet more crap being aimed at us for simply trying to get to work on a bike. Perhaps you should actually do some fact checking pacts.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Yes! This! Keir Starmer

Nationalise energy supply. Make it not for profit. Putting the lights on, keeping warm and well, cooking food, should all be a right. If we did this then fuel bills would fall dramatically and almost nobody would need a winter fuel allowance #WinterFuelPayments

What I still cannot fathom is how, as the supposedly most intelligent species on this planet, we are the only species intent on destroying it. #ClimateScience

Amazon paid no corporation tax whatsoever in either 2022 or 2023, while pocketing millions of pounds in tax credits. That's why Britain can't have nice things.

Are you paying attention yet? Our right to protest has gone. Starmer is about to unleash worst austerity than the bloody useless pocket lining Conservatives and there isn’t a thing you can do about it. Protest and be #RighttoProtest #civilliberty Good Law Project

Since 2012, the NHS has lost £10 million *every week* to private healthcare profits. If the government really wanted to save money, it would stop wasting billions of pounds on private contracts. End outsourcing. Reverse privatisation. Restore a publicly-owned NHS for all.

Started the day feeling positive and planning a nice wee cycle. Then I went on Twitter…. #socialmedia #mentalhealth
