Cycling is changing at speed – but is Britain keeping pace?

Tranter says: “With hire bikes, the issue is mainly their sheer popularity – as numbers grow so does the number of idiots, like any other transport mode. But we have ended up with their popularity being seen as a problem to solve, not a huge success story for active mobility.”

Bit of a side quest, but are those Harry Potter shops the new front for money laundering/tax evasion on Oxford Street? All the 'American Sweet Shop' places have all been shut down after all...

Funny how Bobby Galbraith doesn't mind her trademarks being used for nefarious purposes, is her attention elsewhere?

"First they ignore you, they they steal your policies, then they call you a threat" such is British Politics.

Oligarch mouthpieces will disagree but the Mansion Tax sounds like a good move.

A "Mansion Tax" sounds cool and like something that won't effect anyone I know.
Glad to see the Tax on Weed is still at 0%...

And #Budget25 is donezo. Next up: #GE24. Good luck, everyone.

@HarriettMB Pfft. Where's the patronage in that?

"Prepare yourselves, because we’re going to hear a lot more about how it’s refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants who are negatively impacting the demand for housing, not the policy that underpins the housing shortage. It’s a tired and cynical cliché, and a populist mode of electioneering."

A belated welcome to Mastodon, @richardboydbarrett - a new addition to the #MastoDaoine bunch.

Here's @gavreilly's potted summary:

• European Commission claimed in 2016 that Ireland had a sweetheart deal giving unfair tax treatment to Apple, ordering €13bn repayment

• Ireland said EU misunderstood Irish law and appealed

• EU’s lower court sided with Ireland; EC appealed

• EU’s highest court sides with EC

"The total net value of the escrow fund stood at €13.77 billion at the end of 2023."

:pika: 🥴

Successive Irish governments have fought this legal battle, tooth and nail. Now, there's a Budget coming up, soon to be followed by a General Election, so I can only assume that, in between, the government intends on celebrating Hallowe'en by placing the €13bn+ in a field and setting it on fire.
