Because of concerns about the safety of using US Tech, France is getting rid of Windows from its Government computers. It's time, get all US Big Tech, Microsoft, Google, Palantir... out of Europe. It is a security threat.

“There is work to do as a society to reframe how we think about driving. Many drivers see speed limits, cameras and enforcement as personal inconveniences. We must communicate the concept that driving is a responsibility, not an entitlement.”

20mph is a massive public safety and health win. This is also a huge reduction in NHs and emergency service resources and money saver too. It should be the default in built up areas with exceptions. right across the country

The message that this sends is that if you don't or can't drive then Labour does not care about you. Hiking train and bus fares whilst keeping fuel duty frozen (so down in real terms) just reinforces that message. At least we expected this from the Tories. I expected better. Disappointed

Since Labour took office, 30,000 more children have been pushed into poverty by the two-child benefit cap. That’s 109 kids every single day. The Labour whip was taken from me for voting to scrap it. I’d do it again — no child should grow up in poverty to satisfy a spreadsheet.

I cycle a lot but misogynist abuse on roads and anxieties about poor social safety on off-road routes (esp in the dark/on my own) mean that I am forced to drive some journeys that I should be able to easily cycle. Those planning local cycle networks must build routes that are truly accessible.

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million. It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts. This is austerity 2.0

This is the official Police response to whether children can play in the street. Motornormativity exists everywhere, in this case, prioritising the potential feelings of drivers over the independence of children. How utterly depressing.
Aside from the legal issues it is not safe for children to play on roads. This can also cause a nuisance for lots of people in the area who are wary of driving down the street for fear of knocking over a child or getting their cars damaged.

Putting aside possible traffic or public order issues, it is an offence to play ball games on a public road if it is to the annoyance of road users. It is likely that ball games played on a public road will be to the immediate annoyance of road users.

It is also a breach of by-laws to play ball games to the annoyance of residents. By-laws are created by the local councils and may not apply to every street, there could be some designated as 'play streets' (and similar), where games are allowed, and the by-law may not exist at all in some towns.
If this is a problem in your street, then contact your local neighbourhood policing team who will be able to offer advice and assistance.

Text next to it reads: "As the charity that looks after the National Cycle Network, this funding is a fantastic boost to our work to make the 13,000 miles of routes safer and more accessible for local journeys, whether by foot, cycle, wheelchair or mobility scooter.  
“We can now step-up our work with local communities, many partners and governments across the UK, to make it easier for everyone to walk, wheel or cycle for more journeys, growing local economies, providing easy and healthy access to nature and helping people live well for longer.” Xavier Brice, Sustrans CEO
