“LTNs have led to considerable reductions in road traffic injuries inside their boundaries for all road users – from pedestrians and cyclists to drivers [while] concerns about nearby main roads becoming more dangerous aren’t supported by the evidence.”

If Labour figures think they need to win reform voters by going to the right.

Then they're less concerned about being in power to make the country a more just and progressive country, they want power for power's sake

And they should fuck right off

Hi @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk @transportforlondon.bsky.social

Please sort this out URGENTLY.

Myself, a father to an 11 year old, waits here a LOT on my way back from work. Drivers here trying to get to 40mph.

"Driving over active travel" campaigns:

"Don't make back streets safe for walking and cycling, concentrate on main roads, take out that LTN."

Later...

"Don't make main roads safer for walking and cycling, and send cyclists down back streets."
Whenever a main road cycleway (Streatham A23 this time) is announced opposition springs up saying that it should be on "adjacent, much quieter roads" instead. Here's regular comedy contributors SocEnvJust/John Stewart with their poorly thought through proposal.

Lets look at the issues...

"The government is pleased to confirm that we will be moving ahead with a new GCSE in natural history."

BRILLIANT news! And not before time. Here's hoping there will be no long holdups before this finally comes into effect

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street.

This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Keir Starmer told Zelenskyy after he hugged him on Downing Street:

"As you heard from the cheers in the street outside, you have the full backing of the United Kingdom. That is the people of the UK coming out to demonstrate how much they support you the the people of Ukraine" 👏

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such
Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin
February 28, 2025 at 6:42 PM
Zelenskyy is a hero.
Tr**p & V***e are Putin puppets.
If Starmer insists on a state visit, at least have the courage to do it somewhere we can protest in large numbers.
