She hasn`t broken law or done anything wrong. I`ve arranged private courses for several high profile clients. In fact course providers prefer it as less disruptive. If #SuellaBraverman had lawyer wouldn`t have been political fall out due to confidentiality

Isn`t it appalling that @YvetteCooperMP and all those Left wing sympathisers are happy to traduce the reputation of the Police in the most hostile manner, causing immense damage on basis of heavily edited video. Their silence is now deafening and ironic. Will Cooper now resign?

Sorry cyclist was hurt but wasn`t concentrating on what was happening around him.Was going too quickly, swerving as drinking, putting head down & so unaware car to his right had stopped to let Mini pass. Cyclist should now be prosecuted for cycling without due care and attention.

Slowing country down to an artificially slow speed limit is not only counterintuitive & stupid but will cost the economy billions . Has Wales not taught this Government a lesson? Didn't Labour say they were going to get the country moving not stagnating ?

No speed limit for cyclists in Regents Park or anywhere else. And no offences of causing death by dangerous or careless cycling. Or even causing serious injury by dangerous or careless cycling. Government needs to bring in tough law for lawless cyclists.
