"Expanding the road network is not the answer to alleviating congestion, as evidence shows that expanding road capacity actually induces growth in traffic volumes."

This is the way.
And I hope more EU leaders follow suit. It would be particuarly good for Merz to have a call with Sanchez today and affirm full German solidarity with Spain.
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Even fewer can break 30 mph (50 kmh) on an e-bike.
Have you ever tried pedalling a 20 kg Gazelle e-bike beyond its assistance cut-off at 25 kmh? It is like hitting a brick wall.
It's like the Enlightenment never happened.
Constantine on the eve of battle in 312 - as a sign appears in the sky. His biographer said that Jesus visited Constantine in a dream that night, telling him to carry a cross into battle to ensure victory and further his imperial ambitions.
And still it goes on…
Iran has been around for millennia. I suspect they know they can outlast the Orange One.
Stopped clocks, and all that.
A Simon Jenkins article I agree with.

Lewis seems to have got his head into the right place. He is very much an emotional driver, has already bettered Charles's time this morning in FP2, this could be interesting.
I don't understand. Why is a new law required?
If they are registered, taxed, insured and ridden by a licence holder, wearing a compliant helmet, - they are legal.
If any of the above is missing, - they are illegal.
What does a new law achieve?
Petrol and diesel prices could rise to over €2 a litre from tomorrow as fuel garage operators express fear over a hike in prices.
Thames Water discharging sewage into watercourse at South Morton for 940 hours … and counting.
No rain for ~4 days, and no storms or heavy rain for longer than that.
They should be prosecuted for this asap and the law applied (which can be imprisonment btw not just fines that end up on bills)
Very good point. They will never say 'a car (or driver) killed a pedestrian' because 'we don't know all the facts'. Like there is a 0.0000001% chance the pedestrian was dead before the car drove over them.
But with motorbikes powered by electricity: E-BIKE, E-BIKE, E-BIKE.
And you know all the shipping that is currently disrupted? Just remember 40% of the entire world's shipping is used simply to move fossil fuels around.
With cheaper renewals, we would also nearly halve the considerable pollution from shipping.
“Self-driving taxis safe” says self-writing article.
From the new Private Eye, out now.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

“Considering how force can be used against children”.
Hey, UK?
Vote Green.
The worst offenders around us are van drivers. Every occupied van will be idling.
Either manufacturers need to fit stop/start which can't be over-ridden, or we need an app for the public.
Some will switch them off when asked nicely, others will tell me to fuck off. It shouldn't be up to me.
I hear George Monbiot delivered a salient history lesson on BBCQT last night. Amazed Bruce didn't interrupt.
Apart from lack of political will, I don't see why we can't have it. Photographs, geo-tagged, taken securely within the app, uploaded to DVSA servers, would be fully closed and suitable for FPNs to be issued automatically.
It's a massive revenue stream.
A 12-year old cyclist is in hospital after being struck by a hit-and-run driver on Sandy Lane West, between Blackbird Leys and Littlemore. Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses or dashcam footage of the collision, which involved a red car yesterday around 3.25pm.
NYC has created an official reporting app for engine idling, it works well.
If the UK was serious about engine idling, and illegal parking, HMG would develop a similar app.
There are plenty of concerned citizens who would use it.

Surron advertisment. £1,852.64. Free shipping.
These things are cheap but they are not free.
If the cops did a concerted sweeping-up and crushing exercise, the word would get around very quickly that it is not worth wasting £1,852 for a few minutes fun.
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
There is no question about it - Reform are a party run by foreign donations, from powerful elites who don't pay tax in the UK
The Rowling Tax - and only women are required to pay it.
British society has figured out what to do with the increasing elderly demographic: kill them off.
