There have been reductions of 75% in child mortality and 50% in child injury in some areas of London since introducing 20mph limits.

Separate studies have found 20mph limits reduce all accidents by 35%.

“The cost-effective way of getting more children out of poverty… is abolishing the two-child limit.”

Former PM @GordonBrown calls on the government to drop the two-child benefit cap, arguing that there has been “a wrong diagnosis of the poverty problem”

This “only in America can a hardworking person rise to be a politician” is a noxious myth. In reality US politics is more dominated by money and privilege than any democracy on earth. Countries like Britain have had many more examples as @jfwduffield says - Ramsay MacDonald , John Major. David Blunkett, David Davis, Angela Rayner and another 50 current MPs

Labour didn’t promise to pay waspi women, they promised to take a considered look at the report unlike the Tories ,they did so and found the Ombudsman said there was no financial loss for over 90% Hysterical media suddenly cares after 14 years.
This is what they are up against.

Maybe around 2013 when I worked in local government, the BBC reported on a survey that found most people hadn’t noticed any effect of austerity.

A colleague said, “people are going to get up one day, look around and say this place is a shit hole, what happened?”

@HarryHamishGray Reminds me of a lot of Montreal- excellent walking city and never too busy . Keeps neighbourhoods familiar.

Great to see here

In a few short sentences Badenoch manages to:
- Quote movie villain Gordon Gekko
- Tell us she's too important to buy her own lunch
- Sound mad by suggesting most people eat a sandwich for breakfast
- Tell the vast majority of normal people who eat sandwiches that they're inferior
- Throw literal red meat to her supporters
Impressive.

The ‘documentary’ is a load of old bo**ocks. Liz Truss was not undone by The Blob. She was undone by her own stupidity, the fact she was completely out of her depth in matters of which she had no understanding/experience — and should never have been PM in the first place. We have the Tory faithful to thank for that. They inflicted her on the rest of us.

[Dr. Andy Palmer @AndyatAuto]

The results of a YouGov survey show the level of misinformation being plied to car owners. The statements covered costs of owning and running an EV, charging, the natural resources needed to build and run an EV and even the likelihood of a fire. For example:
•Nearly two-thirds (62%) of petrol drivers believe it’s more expensive to own and run an EV, with only 14% correctly recognising that EVs are typically cheaper. A report from ECIU found that the drivers of the top 10 selling petrol cars of 2023 can find themselves paying a petrol premium of £700 a year in running costs, compared to an equivalent electric car. [4]
•41% of petrol drivers incorrectly think that EVs are more likely to catch fire than petrol cars, with only 24% correct in their understanding that they are less likely to catch fire. Evidence from EV Fire Safe indicated that EVs are more than 80 times less likely to catch fire than petrol or diesel cars. [5]
•More than half (59%) of petrol drivers thought the UK’s electricity grid “will not be able to cope” with the UK’s shift to EVs, whereas only one in five (20%) correctly identified this statement as false. The National Grid has explicitly labelled this a ‘myth’ and is clear that the power system will be able to cope with millions more EVs in the UK [6].
•80% of petrol drivers think the UK is not on course to install the charging infrastructure it needs, despite the country being ahead of schedule to hit its target of 300,000 chargers on the UK’s roads by 2030. [7]
•More drivers (35%) incorrectly believed that an EV’s lifetime CO2 emissions are no less than those of a petrol car than correctly identified this statement as false (32%). An EV being driven in the UK produces three times less lifetime CO2 emissions that an equivalent petrol or diesel car. [8]
Where more petrol car drivers got the answer right than wrong was around energy independence where 37% recognized that more EVs running on British renewable electricity would make the UK more energy independent than relying on increasing imports of oil and petrol. 29% agreed with the incorrect statement that EVs would weaken the UK’s energy independence.
54% correctly disagreed with the statement that EVs are not better for urban air quality than petrol cars. Only 28% believed this statement to be true.
More petrol drivers (39%) correctly disagreed with the statement that EVs pose a threat to the structural integrity of the UK’s car parks than incorrectly agreed with it (33%).

There’s a lot of re-education to be done but we face a huge lobby group who would prefer we believe the misinformation.
