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 ?

Isn’t it astonishing that Huw Edwards` mental health issues prevented BBC from conducting an internal investigation when those same issues didn`t prevent the police from conducting a criminal investigation and subsequently charging him?

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.
Cyclists need relevant law not advice. When will the Government introduce legislative parity for all road users, including cyclists, escooters and ebikes?

From a legal perspective the driver was acting in defence of somebody else`s life and was legally entitled to use fatal force - although that wasn`t his objective. He should not have been arrested and he deserves an honour for his bravery and courage

Reducing speed limit to 20mph is making our roads even more dangerous since bored drivers perceive there`s little risk in using phone behind wheel to, say, send emails or texts . As I say in

When will Government realise that e-scooters can only begin to be safe when there is registration system in situ so scooter drivers can be identified in same way as motorists.Otherwise 1000s of dangerous offences will remain undetected on a daily basis.
The way Russell Brand been treated is appalling. The Government should introduce 3 year limitation - upon reaching adulthood - for the reporting of alleged “historic” sex crimes (subject to waiver on judge`s discretion)
