It is neither inevitable nor acceptable that anyone is killed on London’s roads.

Today’s Vision Zero Action Plan launch at LAS HART Resilience Hub reinforces my commitment to ending road deaths.

There is more to do, but every step matters to make our city safer.

Irony is dead (and buried, and dug up again, and then cremated).

It’s very strange that many headlines today are a about war making petroleum more expensive rather than war killing people, harming people, destroying the environment.

We are still short of people to stand as Reform candidates in the local elections, so if you are a racist, an ex-con, a horrible twat or even just a bit thick and gullible, we'd like to hear from you.

That'll be the same USA that didn't join the first or second world wars to start with, will it?

I think there is a vg case for the Alternative Vote (pluralist majoritarianism) UK's evolving party system - not least as of balanced use for voters on different sides of political spectrum. It allows sincere voting by every voter + strategic choices by those who care
