'We cannot get rid of cars in OUR city; we are not Amsterdam!' Well, neither was #Amsterdam. It took bold political choices, and a consistent process with smaller and bigger steps. A long-term commitment that is still ongoing!

This is the second time within a few years that there's been a fatality involving a motor vehicle & a pedestrian at a campsite near Caernarfon. dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wal…

In any other major city in Europe the streets of Soho would obviously be pedestrianised and businesses/visitors on a glorious day like today could enjoy al fresco dining. But thanks to Westminster Council and the way we give outsized power to absurd local complaints, not here!

Where is this Shangri La where pedestrians get priority over motor vehicles? It certainly ain't in Britain. Drivers haave been reminded that pedestrians get priority over motors turning - in theory only.

So this is the Tory twat that pushed for the removal of orca wands from an A road cycle lane. Since their removal 1 cyclist died in a hit and run and now a 2nd by a drunk on his phone

"Every study and report I could find that looked specifically at the economics of bike lanes since 1984 - 32 research articles, to be exact... show that making street friendlier for bikes... is actually good for business." #BikeMonth2025

Femi has said on air that he is funded by Best for Britain, which received £3,946,759 from George Soros since 2017. Can TV shows please explain who funds him before putting him on air?

Joe Rich I am not defending the Labour Party, rather I am criticising your lamentable class war rhetoric applied to LTNs. Perhaps you have forgotten your words, or are embarrassed by them. I've tagged as you have set up your account so it's difficult to respond to using standard methods.

After several years of bad publicity for the 'B' word which has seen the pro-Brexit media & political elite grow ever quieter, today they are splurging themselves, once again the talk is of 'Betrayal', 'Treachery', 'Cowardice' etc. Their relief is palpable!

Get in the queue Charlotte, we're still waiting some years on to learn who funds the IEA so no queue jumping just because you write for the right wing press.
