'Our dad was killed by a driver using her phone' The family of cyclist Ian Morris say sentences for drivers caught using phones should be longer.

18 messages in 12 minutes sent by the driver before the collision.
Driver was only jailed for 6 years 8 months and a 5 yr driving ban on release.
Not much for killing a person and devastating a family.

20mph is a massive public safety and health win.
This is also a huge reduction in NHs and emergency service resources and money saver too.

It should be the default in built up areas with exceptions. right across the country

The best way to honour those that sacrificed so much in WW2 would be to rebuild our country, open our arms to those in need and rejoin the EU family to ensure peace across Europe.

The likes of the BBC are largely to blame for any hatred and resentment out there.
This is hateful and irresponsible journalism. Stirring just for likes and clicks

The message that this sends is that if you don't or can't drive then Labour does not care about you.
Hiking train and bus fares whilst keeping fuel duty frozen (so down in real terms) just reinforces that message.
At least we expected this from the Tories. I expected better. Disappointed

YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

THIS IS WHY
youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Absolutely. Without the BBC Farage would have remained a nobody.

Since Labour took office, 30,000 more children have been pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap.

That’s 109 kids every single day.

The Labour whip was taken from me for voting to scrap it.

I’d do it again — no child should grow up in poverty to satisfy a spreadsheet.

Energy bills up 6.4% — while network providers raked in £4 billion in “excess” profits over four years.

Water bills up 26% — while firms paid £78 billion in dividends since privatisation & racked up £64 billion in debt.

End this scam. Bring water & energy into public ownership.

I cycle a lot but misogynist abuse on roads and anxieties about poor social safety on off-road routes (esp in the dark/on my own) mean that I am forced to drive some journeys that I should be able to easily cycle.

Those planning local cycle networks must build routes that are truly accessible.

Cutting welfare goes against Labour’s core values – that’s the point Labour MPs threaten to rebel over government plan for welfare reform. But this is not new for Labour. Its in the party’s political DNA

"The cruelty is the point..."

On why Labour think that copying Conservative cruelty is the way to stay in power.

I’m tired of our Govs. saying we can’t afford a decent NHS, Social Care, Education, Transport, Roads, Police Force, Lifestyle etc. but we can afford to let the super rich and businesses off paying tax, a royal family that adds nothing but takes much and Brexit.
Sort yourselves out please.

Oh, just more #LabourScum for sale

Austerity with a red rosette is not the “change” people voted for.

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million.

It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts.

This is austerity 2.0

I maintain my theory is correct: going to sleep on Sunday night causes Monday. If EVERYONE stayed awake indefinitely, Monday would never happen!
I will not be taking any questions.

Labour mollifies the rich, targets disabled people and claims moral justification. There isn’t any | Frances Ryan Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Choosing to take money from disabled benefit claimants rather than levy a wealth tax is simply immoral 👇

Sounds like a plan

Child dies after car driven on to sports pitch in Cumbria Man in his 40s arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving at rugby club in Kendal

This is utterly awful.
Is anywhere not safe from crazed drivers?
A sports pitch certainly should be.

So basically, we were all born randomly in various spaces on earth

This random fact meant we were unequally allocated rights & entitlements

This decided how, where & when we could move

This decided how we are treated by others & ultimately the value of our life

Borders are an absolute NONSENSE

Rail fares rise by 4.6% in England and Wales The government says fares must go up so it can fund investment, but admits passengers are frustrated by services.

Raising rail fares year on year and freezing the fuel duty escalator since 2011 sends entirely the wrong message to the electorate of this country.

Aside from the legal issues it is not safe for children to play on roads. This can also cause a nuisance for lots of people in the area who are wary of driving down the street for fear of knocking over a child or getting their cars damaged. Putting aside possible traffic or public order issues, it is an offence to play ball games on a public road if it is to the annoyance of road users. It is likely that ball games played on a public road will be to the immediate annoyance of road users. It is also a breach of by-laws to play ball games to the annoyance of residents. By-laws are created by the local councils and may not apply to every street, there could be some designated as 'play streets' (and similar), where games are allowed, and the by-law may not exist at all in some towns. If this is a problem in your street, then contact your local neighbourhood policing team who will be able to offer advice and assistance.

This is the official Police response to whether children can play in the street.

Motornormativity exists everywhere, in this case, prioritising the potential feelings of drivers over the independence of children. How utterly depressing.

archery night with the daughter, we're getting better.

Remember, Ofgem is governmental body, and #SinkingStarmer and his @teamlabouruk.bsky.social can stop this, but they CHOOSE not to.
Because Labour cares more about the shareholders than about you.

Ofgem increases its price cap for a third consecutive quarter

10% hike in October
1.2% hike in January
6.4% hike in April

What part of “price cap” doesn’t Ofgem understand?

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April — while companies have raked in over £457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020.

Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains.

It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

The government could save households £100s a year on their energy bills by making these three changes ⬇️ Why wait?

Labour needs to pull the finger out of their rear ends and start coming up with a plan. Energy, water council tax rises and no end in sight.

A glimpse of the abuse I face for challenging racism, xenophobia, and bigotry.

This won’t silence me — I will always speak truth to power.
