4/ On 12/06/26, the government published the 3rd iteration of England's Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy, pulling together £4bn of funds from different sources over 4 years, with the short-term focus being safer streets to help kids walk and wheel to school.

Labour MP Wes Streeting uses active travel investment to offer snark as part of his leadership ambitions.

🧵 As he keeps popping up to remind us of his leadership ambitions, a reminder that Labour MP Wes Streeting thinks people cycling only need protecting for 2 hours a day (Mon-Fri).
With magic bollards.
And if you're a weekend visitor to London, none at all.
And insurance, obvs.

The seemingly increasing number of cis gay men who r racialised as 'white'*: pick-me wannabes in a club created to exclude them

I can go all night abt my hate for #WesStreeting, #PeterThiel, #SamAltman, #PeteyMandelson, #ScotrBessent, #DaveRubin and the rest of them.

The #antipoor shit, #transphobia,#antiimmigrant shit, #racism, etc.

Re: #techbillionaire twats:add greed, #authoritarianism, antichrist bs(Thiel 👹), active dismantling of #democracy etc

There's an old saying in politics that "the assassin never wears the crown". Michael #Heseltine is the usual example.

So what's #WesStreeting up to? Today's interview with #LewisGoodall on #TheNewsAgents is less assassination, more frenzied knife-attack on #Starmer. https://youtu.be/8VUDvtZWrtg

I am sure it's very calculated. But what's #Streeting's plan?

Is he trying to be the kingmaker who #Burnham can't refuse a top job?

Or is this part of a longer plan to let Burnham crash and burn?
