Infographic showing Prime Minister Keir Starmer standing behind a lectern. To the left is a quote from his leadership pledge to party members in October 2020; "Public Services should be in public hands, not making profits for shareholders. Support common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water; end outsourcing of our NHS."
Do you remember saying this, Keir Starmer? We do.
We think if you make a leadership pledge, you should keep it.
Privatisation has failed. Public ownership is popular with voters across the political spectrum.
You could do with some popularity right now, don't you think?

This comes as news from LBC shows Met basically aren't following up hit & runs against cyclists. Criminal drivers are clearly considered by many police as 'unfortunate but not a priority'. The consequences of that approach to society are horrific.
HT one of the good guys @andy-cox.bsky.social !
This is exactly how this street should be. It is not a street designed for motor vehicles, which are guests.
Already, people are demanding in these videos that the tech becomes more assertive against pedestrians and cyclists.
This is the beginning of a slippery slope for human-scale cities.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
