Yet the latest road design idea - narrowing roads to prevent cyclist injury - has not even considered the impact on other road users. That's wrong. A shared space should be designed for all users.

What ignorant horseshit. There are countless examples in the last century when the UK government party has not had a majority of England MPs.

Giving refuge to someone fleeing a war is absolutely the right thing to do. But when the war ends, the refugee goes home.
Thats what other countries do. Its what Britain should do.
Heres a policy for the conservatives that would be widely popular: No-one should ever pay >50% marginal tax.

Disappointed - but not surprised - to see the Guardian fail to challenge this patently absurd climate catastophism.

Glad to see the penny starting to drop for Labour MPs. If we're "ahead of the pack" on climate change, there will be a huge cost in deindustrialisation, job losses and low growth.
