Petition: Fund the creation of bike lanes for all main roads

I want the government to give local councils more money to be able to create a safer environment for cyclists. I want them to give funding so that all main roads have bike lanes.

Insourcing is the answer to so many of the country’s and public services woes. Imagine if BCC was exploring this instead of all these damaging cuts.

Privatisation has added SO MUCH bureaucracy and red tape to our public services. It’s made them overly complex and inaccessible. If you don’t believe me try and find out how to get rid of extra waste in Birmingham and tell me I’m wrong.

Joining the Twitter exodus as it just feels grubby and complicit to stay on this app. We shouldn’t reward those who don’t take their responsibilities seriously.

Teen levels of physical, mental and social health are historically low. Screens serve as a handy scapegoat, but the fact is we’ve built an extremely hostile public realm. Reverse that trend, and they’ll jump at the chance to get outside, move their bodies and meet their friends.

There’s surely a day of reckoning coming for the BBC political operation. They have totally lost their way. They have relentlessly platformed Farage & Reform. UKIP before that. They made his career. They have normalised his vile opinions & never call him out. Why?

Women and girls were the victims of the Southport attack

Women's Aid is devastated by the news of yesterday's attack in Southport. Our hearts go out to the children and their families. Tragic events such as these highlight the epidemic of violence against women and girls in this country that urgently needs addressing.
