Immigration is not the problem it’s now widely believed to be.
Brexit is much more of a problem than it’s reported to be.
So how can govt achieve growth, fix public svcs and deal with the cost of living if fear of Reform means it won’t be honest with us about these 2 elephants in the room?
It can’t.

"People go on about all sorts of ways to improve driving training: why don't we test young people on the motorway, why don't we retest people over 60? But I think the best thing you could do with the driving test is make a part of it on a bicycle."
James May tells councils to stop being "t***s" and build more cycle lanes
Former Top Gear host calls "anti-cycling rage" in the Telegraph "nonsense" and thinks "the best thing you could do with the driving test is make a part of it on a bicycle"

Good video from GCN on the safety risks of cycling, both real and perceived, as well as the difference in overall mortality rates between those who commute by car and bike.

The Highway Code changes three years on… and it’s not looking great
Most drivers wrongly believe cyclists must ride single file, stay close to the kerb, and use cycle lanes – and one in three say they shouldn’t have equal rights on the road, new survey finds

British aviation is a casualty of Brexit:
✈️ UK pilot’s qualifications are no longer recognised in the EU, so pilots must be re-examined there at extra cost.
✈️ The UK no longer has a maintainance agreement with the EU, so planes must now fly to America or Brazil for it, adding costs of up to £500,000

Brexit has left the UK aviation sector up in the air

Like if you dislike the charlatan Nigel Farage - His toxic legacy deepens as he pushes to privatise the NHS, betraying the very people he claims to represent. A self-serving opportunist, he stokes anger, sows discord, and reportedly takes bribes from wealthy foreigners. This guy is the pits.
