Very good analysis of the overcooked past record of Labour's strategy 'genius' Morgan McSweeney and the dismal failures of Starmer in office.
Like Cummings, eventually McSweeney will get the chop, but whether Labour is smart enough to do it now is doubtful.

How would children improve transport?
This list looks good to me.
Government support for these actions is an investment in future generations, and has long term benefits for public health, communities and the environment.
Great work from Sustrans & Halfords.

"Our scheme will...

The National Highways webpage still gives the cost of the scheme as £190m to £210m, but the DfT said it will now cost £290m.

"It can only be that National Highways is hiding the true cost of its schemes in order to get them approved, or is incredibly bad at its job. Either way it is a damning indictment of National Highways and illustrates why it should be scrapped."

Highways Magazine - M3 scheme escapes Labour's VFM review as cost soars
Ministers have claimed credit for backing a longstanding road scheme that Labour froze under its Transport Infrastructure Review, whose costs rose by around half in the meantime.

So the entire purpose of the proposed Cantley Lane Link Road (in Red), is to preserve access from the Interchange to this country lane? @nationalhighways.bsky.social are properly just Trolling the public now aren't they?

Transport needs long-term funding through dedicated taxes. With a spending review and the creation of GBR both happening, now’s the time to ask for it.

All of the Coroners, Marianne Johnson, comments in that article are so depressingly car-brained. Not sure how much comfort the family can draw from any of that. Poor lad.😧
That's just terrible.
Seems like Police, coroner and anyone else has done their utmost to blame the dead kid.
Stated that he was in a blind spot (buses are like wheeled greenhouses), but that hiviz could have helped. Surely driver could see him or not.
