🧵1/2. Those in charge of vehicles that can cause the greatest harm bear the greatest responsibility to take care & reduce the danger they pose to others. This film by Co-Pilot brilliantly explains the hierarchy of responsibility on our roads—a crucial concept in the Highway Code

If you’re getting worked up about the change in inheritance tax for farmers have a listen to this and stop being manipulated into believing this is something it isn’t. Go on I dare you. Or just keep furiously believing Farage, Clarkson, the Tory party and Musk (who hasn’t got a clue about what is actually happening and believes he doesn’t need to do so to compare Stalin to Starmer) meaningless drivel
How many farmers will actually be affected by the changes to inheritance tax?
@DanNeidle does the math...

Switching just 1 trip a day from 🚗 to 🚴 or 🚶♂️ = almost 30% less transport CO2 for the ave UK urban resident. If 1 in 5 did this in 🇪🇺 it’d cut emissions from all 🚗 travel in 🇪🇺 by 8%. The potential impact of active travel on CO2 could be huge @activetraveleng @transportgovuk

We’ve done the numbers and you’ll be amazed (Tuesday the 19th) @activetraveleng @DefraGovUK @transportgovuk @Ed_Miliband @MaryCreagh_
