Turns out the 20mph limit was great idea! Two years on from the controversial policy, it's becoming increasingly clear that the doubters were wrong

“What is great about evidence based policy is that it has a wonderful habit of working”

They didn’t disperse. Change is coming.

It's clear that quite large sections of the right - including some well-known politicians and newspaper columnists - actively want an explosion of violence this summer.

And if it comes, they'll stand there clutching their matches, petrol cans and aerosols saying "we told you so".

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

Great solidarity from Irish band The Scratch who are boycotting Radar festival 2025 because of Bob Vylan being removed from the bill. The duo were dropped as headliners after their performance at Glastonbury, where they showed their support for Palestine.
#SolidarityIsAVerb

The BBC has a conflict of interest over Gaza After the Glastonbury furore, the pulling of a film about medics under attack in Gaza is leading to bigger questions about the political influence of ...

The BBC, the Gaza film they refused to show, Sir Robbie Gibb and “perceptions of partiality”. It’s complicated. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

and Palestine?

Government policy is to grow the gambling industry.

That means more addiction and more suicide.

Time for a rethink.

Do you reckon that if Jeremy Corbyn had had his house set alight by arsonists, all who turned out to be eastern European male models and alleged sex workers that the media would have ignored it as they have done with Keir Starmer or do you think they might have concluded there was a story there?

People turning up, solidarity

lack of capacity won't be salved by moving the deckchairs

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism.

But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

Tax wealth. Not work.

Gaza’s youngest influencer, 11, killed in Israeli airstrike Yaqeen Hammad, who posted videos on social media to share humanitarian updates and survival tips from Gaza, was killed by an Israeli airstrike on May 23

The answer to the headline may well be ‘told the truth’. You can only conclude people like journalists and this brave young woman are targeted using Israel’s pinpoint accuracy missiles bit.ly/43OdYfp

If there’s so much buyer’s remorse about Brexit, why is Nigel Farage the rising figure in UK politics? Ten years on, an angry tribe sees itself as more English than British - and Ireland must stay alert to the dangers

“Low-income households in Britain are now 27 per cent poorer than their equivalents in France and a staggering 60 per cent poorer than those in Ireland.” 🔥 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

"Angela Rayner talked about a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. I describe it as a genocide. And when we have a government, that are ultimately complicit, in fact, actively participating by arming them"

Well said Zack Polanski.

So, the #BBC protected:

- Jimmy Saville
- Gary Glitter
- Rolf Harries
- Nigel Farage
- Huw Edwards
- etc

But get rid of Gary Lineker

!?!?!

Serious collisions on 20mph and 30mph roads at record low New data reveals casualties were at a record low in 2024, despite plans to change some speed limits.

More excellent stats on lives saved by 20mph speed limit change

Kneecap band member charged with terror offence Liam O’Hanna, 27, accused of displaying flag in support of banned terror group Hezbollah

Expecting a tough defence of free speech from Telegraph and @AllisonPearson for Kneecap band now one musician has been charged for displaying “a flag showing support for Hezbollah” bit.ly/43Gb4JF supporting free speech means defending things you profoundly disagree with

Can there be any more irresponsible practice than burning carbon rich peat moors to make sure they remain clear for the ultra rich to play at being country folk as they shoot captive bred animals for sport.

Gary Linkeker has been consistently bold, principled and spoken the truth clearly.

The fact the BBC has now placed itself in direct opposition to these values demonstrates the spiral our media is in.

We urgently need reform.

Solidarity, once again, to Gary. ✊🏼

IT IS NOT ABOUT
GARY LINEKER

IT WAS NOT ABOUT KNEECAP

IT IS ABOUT GENOCIDE

New Reform UK councillor quits two weeks after election - BBC News Wayne Titley was one of 49 Reform candidates elected at the beginning of the month in Staffordshire.

This Reform Councillor wants the navy to intercept small boats and use a "volley of gun fire aimed at sinking them.” After quitting for personal reasons, the party said "Wayne would have made an excellent champion for the people.”

How many more clear examples is it going to take?

The Labour Party is done.

They found ourselves made strangers in their own country. Enoch Powell. We risk becoming an island of strangers. Keir Starmer.

Starmer's Britain.

Not even subtle.

Oh sure, it’s the newts holding back housing.

I thought it might just be greedy developers landbanking and refusing to build.

In one of the most nature depleted countries in the world, Labour’s big idea is... fewer species. Brilliant.

‘The fledglings couldn’t escape’: Dartmoor blaze raises questions about wildfire strategy Commoners say restrictive grazing may be raising risk of fires like one that scorched 500ha of moorland

They're 100% wrong. The fireprone landscape on Dartmoor is caused by centuries of grazing. Preventing fires means rewetting the land, and allowing/assisting the return of the temperate rainforest and carr, which should be widespread here and is v hard to burn. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

It is quite common for a person with dementia, especially in the later stages, to spend a lot of their time sleeping.

Dementia can significantly disrupt sleep patterns, causing individuals to experience daytime sleepiness, potentially impacting their cognitive function and overall well-being.
