It's election time and the Conservatives are trying to shift the blame for their own failings. Over successive years central government has given local authorities a fraction of what it costs to maintain the roads and now they want to blame @libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk ...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... Nice article @theguardian.com except you've got your Southport and Stockport mixed up. Again.

Further changes include rerouting the 5A via the LTN bus gate on Crowell Road to speed up journeys between Minchery Farm and Templars Square, and retimings on other routes. The H2 from Witney to the JR transfers from Stagecoach to OBC’s sister company Pulhams. www.oxfordbus.co.uk/service-chan...

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe? Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.

Given the huge problems across Britain’s regulators - including chronic of conflicts of interest - this feels like a potentially very very retrograde step by HMG Also exactly kind of thing Labour would have railed against if Tories did it buff.ly/3VWPoVo

Good news. Because I have a picture of a street with no cars in it, we don’t need streets for cars. I know that because of all the helpful people who have told me over the years that because they have a picture of a bike-lane with no bikes in it, we don’t need bike-lanes. Sounds reasonable, right?
