Councillor 'devastated' after A47 dual carriageway scheme axed
She added: "I think they are making a big mistake by not doing it; it has been a danger area for years, and for me, they have not taken that into account."Beuttell said the scheme looked as though it was going ahead until two months ago, and she was "appalled" it was cancelled. "A lot of money has already been spent on this project, so I just don't understand why they're pulling it," she said. "I think they are making a big mistake."
Mick Grange, Conservative Sutton Parish councillor, said: "I've lived in the village for just over 30 years and I've seen numerous deaths along that stretch of road."Cyclists won't use it - it's just unsafe."Grange said speed cameras and speed limits should be put in place in the area to make the area safer.Sam Carling, Labour MP for North West Cambridgeshire, said a lot of residents will be "really disappointed that the scheme isn't going ahead now", but was hopeful a positive solution would be found. He added: "This may not have come as an immense surprise. The previous government did not leave us enough money to fund all of the schemes that they promised."He continued: "I'm hopeful that their will be a positive way forward."

How Leftists seized control of Britain's doctors' union
The origins of the transformation stretch back to 2020, when a grouping of Corbynite doctors within the union formed the Broad Left coalition. The name stems from a Communist Party strategy to 'capture positions within a union' and take it over. Its logo is a stethoscope arranged to look like a hammer and sickle. By 2022, the coalition seemed to have increasingly joined hands with a larger group of young activist doctors called DoctorsVote – which is mainly dedicated to winning massive pay rises for resident doctors. And in the spring of that year, the two groups combined to seize dozens of seats on the BMA council, the union's foremost decision-making body. In a vote to determine the makeup of the council for the following four years, Broad Left/DoctorsVote candidates secured 26 of the 69 places up for grabs. Since then, their influence has only grown. Indeed, a 2023 Policy Exchange report – 'Professionalism is not relevant' – concluded the union had been 'taken over by young, self-declared 'entryists' in a planned campaign similar to that [orchestrated] in the Labour Party at the time of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership'. 'It is very sad to see what was basically a well-rounded organisation that covered so many issues of importance to a wide range of doctors being hollowed out by the angry activism around residents' pay, Gaza and LGBT issues,' says Mark Pickering of the Christian Medical Fellowship, which counts many BMA members in its ranks. 'It is very similar to the way Momentum took over the Labour Party from the inside. We saw then how people started using democracy to try to dismantle democracy and that's what it seems has happened here. 'You had these two groups come in and they all vote for each other… and that's shifted what happens at the annual meetings, where BMA policy is formed.' As the union has become ever more of a crucible for Left-wing politics, members appalled by the takeover have begun to leave. First out the door have been many Jews, who have been dismayed by the union's response to the war in Gaza. Last month veteran doctor Robert Winston told The Telegraph he had resigned as a member of the BMA after 61 years due to a combination of his disgust with the strikes, the union acting 'highly politically' in recent times and its failure to tackle anti-Semitism among doctors.

Journey times up, deaths down: Welsh 20mph speed limit still divisive two years on
A few weeks ago, two groups of protesters gathered on the steps of the Senedd in Cardiff Bay. One demonstration was against the war in Gaza, the other against the Welsh government's two-year-old default 20mph speed limit in urban areas. The change from 30mph was brought in by the Welsh Labour government across about 35% of the country's roads in September 2023, at a cost of £34m. The reduced speed limit applied to any built-up area, defined as roads where lamp-posts were no more than about 180 metres apart. Last week a small study by GoSafe, which monitors road cameras, found the policy had added an average of two minutes to journey times of differing lengths, aggravating an already bitter culture war over legislation designed to save lives. Collisions along roads that have changed from 30mph to 20mph decreased by 19% in 2024 compared with 2023, and 100 fewer people a year have been killed or badly hurt in road traffic accidents, according to Welsh government figures. Yet according to canvassing Senedd members and local councillors, the issue remains deeply unpopular with voters as the country's embattled Labour administration gears up for Senedd elections next May. The former first minister Mark Drakeford, who spearheaded the policy, has previously said he was surprised at the level of opposition and anger the new limit provoked. The backlash included protests, defacing and knocking down new speed limit signs, and a petition signed by nearly half a million people opposing the policy – the largest in the Senedd's history. Phil Jones, a chartered engineer and transport planning expert who chaired the Welsh government taskforce on establishing 20mph default, said the policy was working 'exactly as intended'. 'There's nothing preventing local authorities from putting the limit back up. We reviewed practices in other places, journey times, economic impact; none of this should be a surprise,' he said. 'Say all the roads go back up and casualties go up again too. What is an acceptable death toll that justifies getting to work two minutes faster? That's what people who want to get rid of it need to answer.' More than 130,000 drivers – or 34% of people with licences in Wales – have been caught breaking the lower limit since it was introduced, while the most recent YouGov polling, from a year ago, found seven in 10 people opposed the 20mph default. The Welsh Conservatives have consistently called for the law to be scrapped over what the party says is the confusion and frustration it causes for drivers. Sam Rowlands, the shadow cabinet secretary for transport, said: 'It's a hard balance to strike but as a country we've been doing this risk assessment for decades, and we landed on 30mph. It's a huge waste of taxpayer money.' Ken Skates, who caught the hospital pass on his appointment as transport cabinet secretary in March 2024, was quickly forced into a partial climbdown, giving councils £5m to reassess local speed limits over what he described as 'consistent' concerns. Last month, Wrexham began changing 52 roads back to 30mph. Newport council has named 14 roads where the speed limit will go up again, while in Blaneau Gwent one road has changed back, and in Ceredigion no changes are planned.

SNP pays growing number of ‘fat cat' civil servants £100k
The number of senior Scottish civil servants earning more than £100,000 a year has grown under the SNP, figures show. The Scottish Government currently employs 73 senior civil servants (SCS), who are the heads of various departments and directorates. The highest paid is Caroline Lamb, the director-general of the health department and head of the Scottish NHS, whose annual salary is listed as between £205,000 and £209,000. Last year, only 66 staff were on six-figure salaries, adding up to a total of £7.5m. But the top tier of civil servants now costs taxpayers £8.6m a year in wages with many earning in excess of £110,000 – three times the average annual salary in Scotland. Levels of pay for SCS are set by the UK Government in Westminster, but the size of the civil service in Scotland is determined by Holyrood. There were 52 senior officials earning salaries of more than £100,000 in 2023, 38 in 2021 and just 14 as recently as 2018. This year, top earners included Joe Griffin, now the permanent secretary to the Scottish Government, who was paid £140,000 per year in his former role of director general of strategy and external affairs, and Alyson Stafford, who earns £160,000 per year as director general of the Scottish Exchequer. The growing wage bill has emerged after the Scottish Government launched a round of cuts to the budgets of NHS and mental health services citing growing financial pressures. Last September, Shona Robison, the finance secretary, announced £115.8m in cuts to health and social care as part of the SNP government's savings plan. Critics have criticised the 'out of control' cost of civil service wages to taxpayers, and accused the SNP of having the wrong priorities. Craig Hoy, the spokesman for finance and local government for the Scottish Conservatives, told the Mail: 'The civil service, and the cost of it, have ballooned out of control under the SNP's watch, and by far the biggest expansion has been in those on the highest salaries. 'When Scots are paying the UK's highest taxes, but seeing worsening services, there's no excuse for fat cat pay packages of this sort.' Equalities and rights roles also surged In May, it emerged that the number of civil servants working on equalities and human rights in Scotland had also grown under the SNP, surging by almost 50 per cent in two years. Scottish Government figures released under Freedom of Information laws showed the costs of its Equalities and Human Rights Directorate had risen sharply after a huge increase in staffing and salary levels. The number of officials on the department's payroll rose from 105.6 in 2022-23 to 152.7 in 2024-25 – an increase of 44.6 per cent. The period of the increase coincided with Nicola Sturgeon's government tabling the Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill, which would have allowed biological men to change legal gender by simply signing a declaration.
