Mahmood is wrong, it's not "illegal" immigration tearing the UK apart, it's arseholes like Yaxley Lennon and Farage doing that.

It is so notable how the language of asylum has changed in the post-Farage/small boats world. “Illegal migrants” was once reserved for right wing papers, Now government spokespeople call basic sustenance and shelter for refugees banned from working “handouts”.

On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

Lady, this is your 5th driving offence (4th speeding) in 8 years.
If losing the privilege of driving would cause you exceptional hardship, then perhaps you should have been less careless with that privilege.

I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

Axing the cycle-to-work scheme might seem like low-hanging fruit for a cash-strapped Treasury, but it would be a big mistake. Particularly with expensive kid-carrying cargo e-bikes, it's one of the most effective modal shift levers out there.

My unpopular opinion: those of us advocating for non-car travel need to stop apologetically saying "I know not everybody can cycle!" Obviously not everyone can cycle, but that's also true of driving. I fear we're just giving our opponents' attack lines legitimacy by shouting them out for free

It's a congestion charge, not a pollution charge...
In our Oxford new congestion charge the EVs pay. And the reason for that, and hear me out here, is because they CAUSE CONGESTION. They don’t pay to go in the clean air zone cos they don’t produce tailpipe emissions. 🤷♀️

It's a congestion charge, not a pollution charge...
So many people think congestion charging is about reducing pollution, it's not, that's just a side effect, it's to reduce congestion, which cost us all a fortune in delays etc...
Well Edmund "failed Think Bike campaign" King of the AA doesn't like it so it must be a good idea.
If you look at the detail, EVs users still pay less, but EVs do actually cause congestion, and in a place which is bursting with public transport.
