Active travel groups call for clear targets on walking and cycling in England
Exclusive: Groups including British Cycling call for active travel strategy to be put on equal footing with road and rail
โWithout reliable, safe, joined-up routes to walk, wheel and cycle, people cannot reasonably be expected to travel actively, impacting health, opportunities and independence from childhood to older adulthood.โ

Today MPs voted to pass our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union. ๐๐ช๐บ๐ฌ๐ง
The Prime Minister must now listen to Parliament, drop his self-imposed red lines, & finally go for proper growth.
We @libdems.org.uk know a bespoke EU-UK customs union would be the most effective way of doing that.

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.
But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.
Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment
Now theyโre proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days
True work life balance
Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and canโt afford food or healthcare.

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.
The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

The majority opposed to Brexit has reached eight million
Ministers need courage to keep it that way
New analysis shows:
That there are now more people alive in the UK that voted Remain in 2016 than those who voted Leave in 2016.
The "will of the people" expressed by direct vote in 2016... has changed.

If Starmer had shown boldness and vision in our relationship with Europe I think people would have accepted everything else.
We are not stupid, we know the Tories left a dreadful legacy, we know hard decisions need to be made, but leaders are supposed to show leadership and he hasnโt.
