What if I told you we could make crossing the road easier, more comfortable, and make walking more attractive for short journeys? What if I told you this could be done at a fraction of the cost of the usual way, by using "simplified" or "side road" zebra crossings? What if I told you the studies have shown they have high levels of compliance, even without the usual Belisha beacons? What if I told you the presence of these simplified crossings is merely reinforcing pedestrian priority already detailed within the Highway Code updates? What if I told you civil servants and Government ministers use them every day (the video shown is outside the Department for Transport offices), but only because one local authority decided to take a risk and try them out (credit Westminster City Council), despite official guidance not permitting them. What if I told you they could cost as little as £300, compared to between £50,000-£100,000 for a full zebra crossing with Belisha beacons. What if I told you they were already commonplace all across Europe? What if I told you, starting March 11, 2026, Welsh local authorities can install simplified zebra crossings at side road junctions in 20mph zones? (because: Devolution) It's about time England got a move on and permitted them through updating The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016. The Government could also publish the long-awaited Manual for Streets 3, while they were at it.

Today in trained and licensed motoring: a driver loses control of their van, smashes into a pedestrian on a pavement and pins them against a wall. The pedestrian ends up losing their leg. The sentence? A community order and two year disqualification. devonlive.com/news/devon-new…

There is no one with consulting in that cabinet. No one has been in the military, no one has been a strategist and noone has run a business. It’s the muppet show but it’s polite to ask them. Jess Philips would think mine sweeper is a computer game and would just be praying that it doesn’t find any groomers as it sweeps. Mine sweepers need protections. We cannot protect them. Someone needs to. They were there 3 months ago- Starmer moved them home. Now with the oil price lower we can send them back.

304 BILLION BARRELS. That’s the real reason Venezuela matters. Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude. The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth? Venezuela. Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs. It was never about fentanyl. It was never about democracy. It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.

OH SH*T: After the U.S. captured Maduro, Zelensky didn’t mince words about Putin: “If it’s possible to deal with dictators like that, just like that, then the United States knows what to do next.”

Starmer’s response to Trump attacking Venezuela: “I always say and believe we should uphold international law.” Really? After your unforgivable stance on Israel @Keir_Starmer, you’ve got no leg to stand on …and the moral high ground will never be yours to claim.

The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.

If we simply stop paying lazy foreigners to live here, so many of our country's problems are solved overnight. No benefits, no social housing, no financial support. Just don't let random foreigners rock up and access our healthcare system without paying. Self-deportation.

@narindertweets So he's just made his stuff up then? They paid for their bikes, are working, show their documents to get their job, have tax and NI deducted, but he's just lying and getting others to give him money for doing so? The mob has been shook
