UK faces ‘battle for the soul’ of the country, says Starmer amid Reform threat In a rallying cry to progressives around the world, the Prime Minister said allies must stop the ‘politics of predatory grievance’.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.”

Ian Hislop, "It is pretty ludicrous we have got to a state where a man is arrested for carrying a joke? I mean, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, all those things we claim to be interested in?"

Very concerning stats. We have roads at 40mph through residential urban and developing areas that urgently need dropping to a max of 30mph; we need a 20mph by default policy for residential roads and around schools where School Streets schemes are not viable. @warwickshirecc.bsky.social

Killed and seriously injured on Warwickshire Roads are going up. The target is useless without action.
Warwickshire County Council are refusing to look at speed limits in urban area on routes to schools.

Anyone voting for Reform in Warwickshire needs to watch item 7 at 1st WCC meeting yesterdays which was appointment to committees. It was in such a mess that we had to have massive recess while it was sorted out. They have not got a clue how things work. warwickshire.public-i.tv/core/portal/...

On a positive note, there is one seat bucking the trend! The Green Party has comfortably won Weddington with @greennuneaton.bsky.social returning to the County Council (Congrats!)

This at least means we have a progressive local voice pushing for environmental and active travel considerations etc.

On 1 May you can give your vote to a party that is principled, practical and cares about the same things you do.

Vote Green for real hope and real change.

It’s not just that it’s morally indefensible for Labour to cut more disability support than Tories ever dreamed of.

It’s that we have been living in the fallout from the last round of austerity & they have learnt absolutely NOTHING. Making the poor poorer COSTS US MORE #r4today

London air pollution down since Ulez extended to outer boroughs, study finds Levels of deadly pollutants have dropped, with significant improvements in capital’s most deprived areas

Weddington Road bus stop poll without safe path.

It has been over 9 years since Warwickshire county council officers met to discuss bus stops for new developments on Weddington Road. It has been a farce and now we have muddy bus stops without paving, bus shelter without bus stop. Can we have it sorted soon?

Yet again we have zero Nuneaton and Bedworth representatives speaking out at today’s @warwickshire_cc
cabinet meeting. Really noticeable when they discussed the next round of EV charging points and pushed for them going into rural areas.

Andrew Boswell is a principled campaigner who has put together a series of meticulous legal cases on the terrible future impact of the UK’s addiction to road building. No wonder Starmer is running scared, but this kind of smear is a) pathetic and b) straight out the BoJo/Priti Patel handbook 🤮

Incredibly disappointed that MPs didn’t get the chance to vote on the Climate and Nature Bill - a crucial piece of legislation to prevent climate breakdown and protect our natural world. But thanks to all those who backed it - I'll keep fighting for urgent climate action #CANBill

YouTube video by Keith Kondakor Is Nuneaton cinema plan foolish?

I am fed up of being right but ignored. I have been giving @nbbcouncil good advice which as been ignored for almost 20 years. I was telling them not to build the cinema without sound business case back in December 2022. youtu.be/0xeIsbw3MVs

Pre Covid there was a Warwickshire report into variability of new cinemas which said Nuneaton was fully served with cinemas. I told the borough council of my concerns about cinema formally on 8th October. It seems after that they signed contract with BAM to build it only in December.

In 2023 the Tories in Nuneaton signed the @NBBCouncil up to a deal with Really Local Group to provide a cinema. @NBBCouncil & their auditors are refusing to provide details of that deal. I am very worried as 5 other failed ventures have burned around £12 million.

Have we been duped by the primary energy fallacy?

Critics of renewables often say that we cannot possibly replace the vast amount of fossil fuel we currently use with clean energy.

The good news is that we don’t have to. My article in Medium explains why.

New park and ride rail station between Nuneaton and Hinckley back on track It would be located near to the A5

Having new train services bypass Nuneaton & instead stop at a Parkway station on difficult to get to part of A5 is a totally stupid idea. It is useless for those without cars. Those with cars may as well drive all the way if they already are past Dodwell’s. www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-n...

Boy, 11 taken to hospital after collision with car It happened on a busy road in Nuneaton

There is no signage or dropped kerbs at the other end. The whole area is a legal mess which crossing not all converted to TUCAN and very difficult when Etone spills out. We need proper 2 way route and as you said, to lose the wasted space in the middle. www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area...

Great Video. The north side of Leicester Road bridge is not technically shared use but the lines directing you to die on carriageway have warn out in last decade. What is legal is ambiguous. Picture from 2009 on google earth.
