Is it just me but suddenly everything feels …. normal ? No more psycho dramas and scandals. Like the grown ups are back in Govt & people can get on with their lives watching politics out the corner of their eyes. Safe

Did "one more lane" fix it?, by @chillcoat . My latest musings on what it means to open a new road in London and not have it swamped with traffic. Does road tolling at the Silvertown Tunnel solve the problem of induced demand?

Time for King Charles to visit Canada, where he is head of state and has every right to go whenever he wants. I have no doubt the welcome would be ecstatic. And very symbolic. Retweet if you agree.

0.1% Growth. We shouldn't accept this. Today, we're releasing the LFG Bill. The Bill by-passes the blockers in planning and fast-tracks the building of Nuclear Power Stations, Overhead Cables and Data Centres. Join LFG and help us make growth legal again🧵👇

I don't wish to be a harbinger of doom but this technology seems like it could do a lot of damage. I hope that our security services and police have got an idea of how to counteract something like this being used in the UK, but I fear they haven't.

The @NationalHways M25 closure in March didn't end up in predicted gridlock. Using their open Webtris data we can see up to 67% reductions in traffic approaching the site, while Dartford Crossing traffic increased slightly from re-routing vehicles. #opendata shows its value here.

Spotted just now on the Amsterdam metro. Should I ask him if he is in distress?

Remember: Israeli children weren't beheaded unless we see confirmed photographs of severed baby heads, but the hospital was blown up by Israel, killing hundreds of innocents, because HAMAS said so.
