@Katie_Lam_MP "Unfunded tax rises" was the phrase @trussliz used. A very good description of Loony Left fiscal policy.

@ttracesofficial I just want a list of results. Is that too much to ask?

@LonTravelWatch @TfL Buses are not the answer in London, and they aren't in Cambridge. The more you add, the slower they get. @paulbristow79

To no-ones surprise, Cambridge's People's Front of Judea fails to reach agreement with its Judean People's Front, so Labour's disastrous term of control continues...

It wasn't a coincidence that poor Henry died so soon after police arrived; their decision to move him may well have what killed him.
183 days since his death - where's the IOPC report?

[Turning Point UK 🇬🇧 @TPointUK]

A leading Polish doctor has stated that the police moving Henry during the arrest would have opened the wounds causing him to bleed to death.

Henry went from conscious and speaking to unresponsive, only after the police arrested him.

The officers should be jailed.

@ThinkLicence @OpenChiswickW4 @MattRodda I used the apostrophes to emphasise that the term 'e-bike' is undefined in law, and is therefore used to describe any two-wheeled device with an electric motor, including illegal ones. It's a very unhelpful term and shouldn't be used IMO.

One of the most important historical sites in grand prix history.

[BBC Cambridgeshire @BBCCambs]

British motor racing roared back into life after World War 2 at Gransden Lodge after its enforced six-year hibernation.

Yet, despite its significance, the aerodrome remans relatively unknown.

@peterkyle It's "effect economic growth" not "affect economic growth".

Two completely different meanings.

The semi-literacy and low IQ of government ministers is a large part of the problem.

[Guy Lachlan @glachlan]

@SouthCambs @pippaheylings Your complacency helped invite central government intervention. Local planning has felt distant and ineffective for years.
Time to own the problems rather than just resist the solution.

@SouthCambs @pippaheylings and leaves communities in limbo
Instead of vague outrage about “losing local control,” tell us what you’re doing to fix chronic delays, enforcement failures, and the inability to deliver infrastructure at the pace Cambridge’s growth demands.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

In October 2024, the Free Speech Union came to the aid of Rick Prior, the elected Chair of the Metropolitan Police Federation, after he was suspended for saying that rank-and-file officers had become so fearful of complaints of racism — and potentially losing their jobs — that they no longer dared challenge allegations of racism, particularly when made by people of colour.

According to Prior, some officers were reluctant to intervene when they suspected a crime was being committed if the perpetrator was a black or brown person for fear of being accused of racism.

Fortunately, with our support, Rick Prior won his

Given the circumstance of Henry Nowak's death, it's clear that Rick Prior was right to raise these concerns.

The police have overcorrected in response to the perception that the force is institutionally racist, and that needs to be addressed.

People like Rick Prior — and other elected federation chairs — must be free to speak out about what they believe has gone wrong and propose common-sense solutions without risking suspension or dismissal.

The lack of free speech within policing on these issues has contributed to the current state of affairs in which officers appear to be more concerned about not following up accusations of racism than protecting people from violent criminals.

@s_walthamstow @OpenChiswickW4 @MattRodda Yes, agreed. Enforcement is what's lacking. Very difficult to do because they're so fast and agile.

@MattRodda Is this survey intended for your constituents or everyone in the world @MattRodda? I'm happy to fill it in, but I'm not sure whether you want to know about Cambridge too. Please advise.

[Guy Lachlan @glachlan]

@MarkRodda @MattRodda Oops, sorry!

[Guy Lachlan @glachlan]

@OpenChiswickW4 @MattRodda The law doesn't use the term 'e-bike', but rather refers to legal machines as Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (EAPCs) throughout.
All EAPCs are legal by definition. The term E-bike includes illegal electric motorbikes.

[Guy Lachlan @glachlan]

@OpenChiswickW4 @MattRodda Legal to advertise as an e-bike, legal to sell as an e-bike, illegal to use on the public road. The law needs rewriting, as perhaps you agree.
