'However, figures published this week show injuries on the roads fell by a third in the final quarter of last year compared to the same period a year earlier. After a review, the Welsh government agreed to more 30mph exemptions but insisted that most roads should remain at 20mph.’
The hysteria about 20mph was just that - rabble rousing based on no attention to the details. That included Times reporting.
That's what you get by voting tories in. We have done a fair amount in mitigation in Scotland, but Westminster and the England dominance of the ‘voluntary’ union continues to hold us back. The removal and squandering of Scottish/UK resources for ideological reasons did not help either.
Good. Labour has finally dropped a case against five former Corbyn-era aides, accused by Starmer and his supporters of leaking hundreds of embarrassing (and in some cases racist) WhatsApp messages from Labour staff hostile to Corbyn.
It's reported to have cost the party an unconscionable £1.5m over the last four years, not to mention the stress to the five accused.
There was never a case: it was pure vindictiveness.
"... it felt a little bit to me like a cross between a political program and a bit of a game show. The "raise your hands" and all that stuff. I just wanted something a bit more serious I think."
So it’s almost official we are stuffed. Obviously living outside our means. Both the ruling parties have told us so.
But only those if means were constrained by selling of public assets overseas, leasing them back at a premium, running down public services to force their privatisation, siphoning monies off to cronies, and…
Daily Mail wailing that Victoria the Milkshake Queen is a "Jeremy Corbyn loving Only Fans model" this giving their readership something to be angry and horny about #Ukpol#Ge2024#Ukpolitics#Clacton#Farage#NigelFarage
The classy thing to do as Brit politician getting a milkshake is to laugh it off and not press charges, but of course Nigel won't be letting the lady off for making him look foolish now, that's not how populists work.....
Victoria the Milkshaker is probably young enough to have never voted on Brexit, yet she's been told she has to suffer it for at least 10 more years and there will be no discussion on that this election.
Then Mr Brexit strolls into her town, feeling entitled to be an MP despite his big idea destroying the nation.
When you are denied a voice, direct action is your only option.
"Being removed as a candidate has been cruel and devastating, especially after local voters and party members have placed so much faith in me....I cannot, in all conscience, continue to contribute to a party that seems to think so little of people like me and has moved so far away from my values.”
How come #NigelFarage gets to turn up out of nowhere and decree that this is now “the immigration election”‽
Ordinary voter here, and I don’t give a tinker’s toss about #immigration. I’d much prefer this to be “the climate change election”, please. If you agree, give this a RT. ♻️
