I think voting to endorse this utterly appalling state of affairs is a pretty poor tactic if you want things to get better.

We can start to take any comments from the government about youth-bans on social media seriously the moment they withdraw from X. Not one second before.

The Kings Speech shows why Starmer must go. What a wasted opportunity! Where’s the urgent transformative programme to redistribute wealth, tackle the nature & climate crisis, bring water into public hands, & introduce rent controls & wealth taxes? No hope, no story, no vision

As we write in the book, we need less focus on adults who scream "I've lived in the city for the last 50 years and don't need bike lanes" and more focus on kids who say "I am going to live in the city for the *next* 50 years and want to be able to get around safely."

Come to Swansea where both the Council and South Wales Police condone this type of behaviour. This from just a 15 minute walk this morning. Pedestrians and their safety are simply inconsequential.

So, according to BBC Breakfast this morning the ONLY reasons that Town Centres are struggling is - Lack of free parking 🙄 - Chewing gum on pavements Such tired and lazy journalism.

I love the way expensive new roads are celebrated, even if in business case terms, they only shave a few seconds of journeys. But when it is a modest scheme to help to get buses moving, that same argument is deployed against. Sorry Bub, it's not your road outside.

This is another reason measures to reduce traffic are so urgently needed. Everything helps - pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, 20mph limits, clean air zones, congestion zones, investment in new public transport options, parking control, liveable neighbourhoods and car clubs. Let’s do it all.

Not only will Reform have a declared policy which will result in killing people but they will also be adding an average £50/year to every motor insurance policy in Wales. Quite a challenge to sell this one once you get into the detail ✍️Gwern Gwynfil

Peers in the HoL must not block progress on the Assisted Dying Bill by dragging proceedings out unreasonably. Peers have a duty to engage in legitimate scrutiny, not filibuster until a Bill falls. It's elected MPs in the Commons who represent the people, not a handful of unelected Lords.

We cannot let a small group of peers delay the assisted dying bill forever
What is going on week in, week out in the House of Lords at the moment is simply filibustering masquerading as legitimate scrutiny.

The best cycle lanes are wide, beautiful and completely separate from other roads. This type of infrastructure is common here in the Netherlands. They often connect cities and offer a great alternative for driving.

Bloody cyclists, demolishing a wall and blocking a safe pedestrian route. Oh, no, my mistake it was a car. Swansea Council’s answer ? Shut the pavement (school just 200m further along) and do nothing - no safe crossing, no alternative - just nothing…
