It’s quite simple. The Conservatives are not fit to be a potential party of Government. You can’t fit the number of ways this is deeply damaging, unfair and stupid into a single social media post.

READ: If you haven’t seen this yet, please take a look. Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people from making rational judgements about driving. This study co-authored by @ianwalker.bsky.social looks at where this bias comes from & how it works. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great to see @feryalclark.bsky.social MP visting our stand at Labour Conference. As Cabinet Member for Transport in Hackney she was the first to introduce school streets in England - we're planning to help other Labour Councillors build on her achievements.

Keeping young Londoners safe on our roads is a priority. That’s why TfL is launching Navigators, a new programme helping 16 to 18-year-olds become safer, more confident road users. With over a thousand schools now at Gold level, London is leading the way.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

'Britain’s roads prevent many from taking part in active travel. These inequalities are not natural… they have structural causes. People don’t choose to not walk or cycle, they are excluded'

Jemima - We need to make the enforcement of schools streets by camera or bollard easier outside London. We also need School Street schemes to me more ambitious - larger zones further away from the school. Good news - Schemes are not a drain on budgets.... they pay for themselves in a year.
