This is completely lawless and ridiculous. You could get £10,000 fines in a day here — and they should. No left turn; these drivers are going when pedestrians have a green man to cross. Nuts. #Edinburgh

As the Telegraph appears to be blaming lockdowns for causing deaths from other illnesses, it’s worth reposting the time Chris Whitty, an actual medical expert with vast experience of both viruses & the NHS, politely burnt down a Tory MP on this very issue.

The so-called Labour people who keep attacking Starmer must really want Truss to be in power for a lot longer than I do. I can’t really compute their stupidity.

.@BBCr4today interview with @RishiSunak by @Marthakearney -please counter the nonsense about UK climate leadership! Include CO2 from aviation &shipping, imports &exports & UK CO2 is down only about 15% since 1990; ie. ~0.5% each year. Far removed from our Paris & G7 commitments.
