The Greens are getting far too easy a ride in the media. Their policies are demented. The party has become a magnet for bigots. And yet Reform is still painted as the extreme and divisive force. It’s absurd, says Tom Slater buff.ly/2X20DOd

I wonder perhaps if maybe they could also look into the enormous weight of electric cars.

The usually very reliable Emma Duncan is wrong to claim in today's times that LTNs have no impact on traffic levels on surrounding roads. The evidence is clear and consistent and shows otherwise. The Government Survey (1): “The available evidence indicates that LTNs are effective in reducing traffic volumes within internal roads. However, results for boundary roads are mixed, with some seeing increases in traffic volumes”. The Centre for London Study (2): “Overall the evidence shows big reductions in car traffic inside LTNs, but a more mixed picture for boundary roads – some seeing increases in traffic and others seeing decreases. How much traffic is displaced onto nearby roads can vary hugely – not only from scheme to scheme but from street to street. In some cases boundary roads have seen big increases in traffic.” The report Possible commissioned Rachel Aldred to do (3): “Of the 412 internal road count sites, 303 (73.5%) saw any decline in motor traffic, compared to 109 (26.5%) which saw any increase. For the 175 boundary road count sites, 83 (47.4%) saw any decline in motor traffic, against 92 (52.6%) which saw an increase”. A trawl through the studies commissioned by local councils which put in LTNs consistently reveals a similar picture: a decrease in traffic within LTNs but an increase on many boundary roads.

The sheer and utter chaos being created with this experiment of placing plant pots on roads will cost lives eventually. The same applies to the idea of full pedestrianisation of Oxford Street. Emergency vehicles can't get through inaccessible roads. This is madness!

We haven’t been posting about this… but shoplifting is something we’re dealing with every other day. This is our Brixton store. We’re a small business trying to build something honest — and this is what we’re up against. It affects our team, our store, and our ability to keep going. We just ask for respect. #shoplifting #brixton #theblackfarmer #protectourpeople

Wondering if the hearts of those frustrated by small acts of petty symbolism, by the feeling that smashed windows and graffiti on bakeries are simply not enough, are cheered by the upgrade to burning ambulances this morning.

Look at this fucker.

@UK_Needs_Reform @Alex_Sashas £50K?!

This rainbow junction in Hounslow cost £48,174 of public money. Some will say it promotes inclusion. Others will question the cost. Your thoughts? Value for money or total waste of money?

Just wait until the Guardian finds out who founded Marks & Spencer... 😯

Wow, this is some mad fucking antisemitism from @guardian - and a truly honking piece of restaurant writing into the bargain.

New Guardian definition of 'Jewish aggression' just dropped.

It is indeed his anti-car agenda, as adopted by Labour councils all over London including @LBofHounslow

@Wombletom ‘fewer”

Looks like they’re advocating for less vehicles on our roads.

It’s going to be interesting to see how TfL defines an ‘SUV’. I’m guessing there’s going to be something in there about ‘private ownership’ as a differentiation. Because private ownership bad.

Interesting, Bromley has no LTN traffic relocation schemes…

@willnorman @MayorofLondon And you making it sound like a good thing?! 170km 20mph roads ffs
