£40,000 Russian Bribe: Reform’s Shame Exposed YouTube video by Ben Goldsborough MP for South Norfolk

£40,000 in Russian bribes.

Reform’s former leader in Wales is now serving ten and a half years in prison.

Foreign interference in UK politics is not theory. It is fact. We must defend our democracy.

And every employee at dept of transportation who designed and recommended advisory bike lanes, sharrows/shared lanes, non protected paint lanes Also needs to ride those bike “lanes” with their children during morning and evening rush hour traffic!!!!

People of all ages and abilities walk, cycle, drive, and ride public transportation along the low-traffic streets of Bilbao, which are lined with buildings, trees, bike infrastructure, and prominent 30 km/h speed limit signage and road markings.

People of all ages and abilities walk, cycle, drive, and ride public transportation along the low-traffic streets of Bilbao, which are lined with buildings, trees, bike infrastructure, and prominent 30 km/h speed limit signage and road markings.

Introduced in 2018 and expanded to all roads by 2020, Bilbao was the first European city of more than 300,000 inhabitants to adopt a universal 30 km/h speed limit. Several years on, the results suggest it has delivered broad benefits on safety, public health, travel efficiency, and quality of life.🧵

Car culture often foams at the mouth over the construction of bike lanes while forgetting that each person on a bike is one less person in a car being "traffic". "One more lane, bro" can fix traffic if it's of another mode.

EU institutions and Israel Sir, – I am writing on behalf of 107 former officials of the European institutions. Together we have signed a petition to the presidents of the European Commission, Parliament and Council. It reads: We, the undersigned, being former officials of the European institutions and imbued with the values which we honoured in our work for the European Union, wish to register our full support for the letters on Gaza issued by the group of 380 former European ambassadors and senior EU staff on August 26th and September 10th. Like them we call for urgent and decisive action – not just words – from the European institutions to put pressure on Israel to end its brutal war, resume vital humanitarian assistance and support human rights. We also urge them to uphold international law and to implement EU measures against Israel’s unlawful actions. In addition, we call on all EU member states to recognise the state of Palestine. – Yours, etc, COLM LARKIN, (former director of Commission Representation) Foxrock, Dublin.

EU ex staff and diplomats’ chorus grows louder

A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying £5 daily congestion charge

In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."

Reminds me of the old Welsh joke. Chap stranded on a desert island for some time, builds a chapel. A few years later he's rescued - the rescuers find a second chapel. Why, they ask.him, are there two? "Ah, that one over by there's the one I don't go to..."

MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says Ipsa cites rising abuse and constituency workloads as reasons for above-inflation increase of 5% from April

MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says.

This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests.

Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.

Portrait of Miguel Anxo, former mayor of Pontevedra, standing outdoors in front of blurred greenery. A large white serif quote appears on the left side of the image reading: “It’s not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it’s the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you’re going to put them.” His name and title appear below the quote.

It is not the government’s job to provide storage space for your private property. Cars are no different.

Roads exist to move people and goods, not to store private vehicles. Governments at all levels need to start calling out and enforcing that reality.

Green space in Coventry resembles 'war zone' after car damage A once attractive green space outside homes in Coventry has been destroyed by parked cars.

Selfish drivers leave green space a "war zone".
Needs bollards and start charging drivers who do this with criminal damage.
