I'm going to start (have started already?) sounding like Cato with his "Carthago delenda est" but Labour MPs who are not xenophobes/racists need to vocally oppose Earned Settlement. And more people in the media who (claim to) oppose racism/xenophobia should put pressure on them to do so.

Agreed but we do also need a big increase in urban street trees. They cool cities and add nature. But they should be planted in the street not on pavements. @livingstreets.bsky.social @transportaction.bsky.social

I care about many issues in politics, but immigration is my red line. I want a government that is positive about it, that recognises that it's good, that doesn't reluctantly concede that some of us might not be so bad after all, while holding that immigration is a bad thing we must reduce.

I see a lot of people complaining about the undoubtedly stressful conditions at present on London's roads. But I see few people complaining about motor vehicles. Yet in the last 24 hours three vulnerable road users have died after being hit by people driving motor vehicles.

Globally, 1.3 million people are brutally killed every year from traffic violence. If any other product, appliance, mobility innovation, or medical device resulted in 1.3m deaths, it would be instantly recalled, eliminated, and investigated. We have the solutions; we need political courage.

My hot take on drivers encountering any vulnerable road user is that even if cyclists/ pedestrians etc aren’t following the law they still don’t deserve to be hit/injured/killed or honked at and actually should be yielded to in most situations. This is unpopular opinion in our society sadly.

Here’s a call to action for all of you —since some may still be skeptical that there’s been a deliberate WAR ON WALKING in cities for a very long time, reply to or quote-post this with your own photos, examples, articles, studies, anything you think makes the case.

When people object to measures to reduce the number of cars on our roads, they are also choosing to have dirty air. We need better public transport, better routes and lanes for bicycles, better pavements and if we have those..... We all need to breathe. Well done London! Keep at it Oxford!

I'm looking forward to seeing you lot when you come to visit Oxford! Thought I'd share this post from Facebook, thoughts on Oxford's 'War on Motorists'..
Facebook post...

The “war on motorists” has to be one of the most fragile, overdramatic phrases in modern public debate. Apparently, asking people not to park on pavements, so wheelchair users, parents with prams, and elderly people can actually pass, is a “war.” Making roads safer so fewer people are killed or seriously injured is a “war.” Adding cycling infrastructure so people have a choice beyond sitting in traffic is a “war.” Reducing speed limits in residential areas so children don’t die is a “war.” It’s absolutely absurd. The vast majority of public space is given over to car drivers. Roads, parking bays, multistorey car parks and retail parks built entirely around driving. The idea that drivers are somehow an oppressed group is detached from reality. What’s actually happening isn’t a war on cars, it’s a slow, long overdue correction, after decades of designing everything around one mode of transport, at the expense of all others.
Being asked to drive a bit slower, being asked not to block the pavement and being asked to share space.
That’s not oppression, that’s living in a society with other people.
