Our political system operates as if honesty doesn’t matter.
We’re calling on all MPs to own up to their mistakes, and for there to be consequences when politicians choose not to.

ALT Quote from CEO: "Correcting mistakes is not an admission of failure, but a way for MPs to lead by example and help rebuild trust in public life."

Absolute class from @Tompid today.
Finesse, craft, a deftness of touch, assassin like coolness and ridiculous power in a performance to inspire.
Well done lad.

This is all backed by my charity @GrowingTheTrees. Normally I’d cycle over but I’m injured… that’s not stopping us though. We’ve planted 1,000 trees in the last month and there’s about 20,000 more coming, but we’ve got essentially infinite funding for more. Let’s do it now.

Stop running silly stories about streaming video's "vast" carbon footprint
It's utterly *ludicrous* to suggest that 0.3MtCO2e is a "vast quantity"
It's one thousandth of one percent of global emissions
(0.001%)
There are bigger fish to fry
Please

Do we have a future Tour winner on our hands?
"That's what cycling is all about" says @realstephens and we couldn't agree more!

When sporting greats fade, you question whether the standards have increased, whether that athlete would have won in the modern era, even at their peak.
Mark Cavendish has now beaten three generations of the best sprinters, on the biggest stage. No more questions needed.

A Facebook user has claimed that some ketchup tested positive for Covid. But really all they did was break a lateral flow test by putting ketchup in it.
In the past, people have done the same thing using oranges, Coca-Cola and kiwi fruit.
Please stop it.

RIP Murray Walker. Grew up listening to his commentary on F1 and BTTC, very sad to hear the news. He was unique and brilliant

We are devastated that a COVID hoax conspiracy is gaining prominence. These pictures of ambulances queuing outside of hospitals are very very real. NHS staff need our support more than ever. If you stand with them please RT 💙
