    Meeting point is Russell Square for those who don't know.

    We're gathering from 5:30PM this evening to protest yet another fatality of a woman cycling through Holborn. The forecast suggests showers this evening and the sun is due to set by the time we set off; please bring lights and an appropriate jacket.

    I have a theory that the British political establishment simply cannot be trusted with service charges. In other countries you might charge someone a reasonable low fee for a public service. Here, something is either free or, if a charge is levied, it escalates to infinity

    We estimate that those in the third and fourth earnings decile will be paying £28,000 more towards their student loan over their lifetime, rather than £15,000 and £19,000 as we originally said. [2/8]

    Good thread with examples of how you should and shouldn’t do outdoor seating, to keep streets accessible to all

    Example: these pavement cafes on a street closed to traffic. The dropped kerbs are out of shot, very far from this spot. Those who need level access won’t be able to get past so have to use the road but then can’t access shops 🤷🏻‍♀️ but what’s the alternative? See next tweet! 3/12
