Labour 'waging war on motorists' after scrapping plans to limit number of new Low Traffic Neighbourhoods
Labour has been accused of waging a 'war on motorists' by scrapping plans to limit the number of new Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. Ministers have reportedly ditched reforms that would have curbed councils from also introducing 20mph zones, as well as 'unfair' fines and parking charges. The Conservative Party, which drew up the changes under Rishi Sunak, branded the move 'a kick in the teeth' to drivers. But Labour dismissed the proposals as 'speculative suggestions' and said they 'would have made no positive difference for drivers'. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has faced criticism for his support of heavy-handed policies against car owners, particularly in London. In June, Lambeth Council was ordered by the High Court to tear down an 'unlawful' LTN in West Dulwich which raked in £1 million in fines. Richard Holden, the shadow transport secretary, said London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan will be 'licking his lips now he has been given the green light to hammer drivers even more'. He told The Sunday Telegraph: 'Labour has been caught red-handed as it steps up its targeted war on motorists. 'Conservatives led the charge against unfair and over-zealous enforcement but our work has been ripped up in underhand attacks without any public consultation or manifesto pledge.' Two years ago, Sunak announced a 'Plan for Drivers', which would have forced councils to hold a minimum series of public meetings to hear the views of residents and businesses. The Tories also planned to revoke council's access to DVLA data, which they use to enforce traffic filters. But Lilian Greenwood, the roads minister, said work had been 'put on hold and the Government is now considering appropriate next steps'. She said: 'As has always been the case, local authorities are responsible for managing their roads and are accountable to their communities.' Ms Greenwood added that Tory plans to allow residents the formal right to challenge parking policies, such as yellow box penalties, 'would have made no positive difference'. A Department for Transport spokesman said: 'The Government is absolutely on the side of drivers, focusing on making journeys safer and smoother, and saving motorists money. 'Over the past year alone, we invested an extra £500 million to help local authorities resurface roads and fix seven million potholes, reducing congestion and saving drivers up to £600 a year in repairs. 'We've also committed £1 billion to repair bridges, flyovers and tunnels, and greenlit over 30 road schemes to improve journeys. 'Meanwhile, we are making our roads safer to drive on and will set out the next steps for the first road safety strategy in over a decade in due course.'

'I Know It's A Radical Idea,' Says Bernie Sanders, 'But We Need A Government That Represents Working Families, Not Billionaires'
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is again sounding the alarm on what he sees as a system rigged for the ultra-wealthy and against working Americans. 'The system is just not working for the average American,' Sanders wrote in a recent post on X. 'Not wages, not health care, not housing, not educational opportunity, not retirement security.' He added: 'I know it's a radical idea, but we need a government that represents working families, not the billionaire class.'

'This used to be, decades ago, one of the strongest Democratic states in the country,' he said. 'Now it's a strong Republican state, because I think in many ways the Democratic Party has turned its back on what was its base.' He told CNN that economic issues cut across political lines and that many red states are filled with people who want affordable housing, better wages and guaranteed health care. 'They don't want to see tax breaks for billionaires. They don't want to see the rich get richer. They want health care as a human right. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage,' Sanders said. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can He also didn't shy away from criticizing then-Vice President Kamala Harris' failed presidential campaign, saying she was too influenced by wealthy donors. 'She had too many billionaires telling her not to speak up for the working class of this country,' he said. A Broken System That Protects The Powerful Sanders in Jujne warned of a new class of 'uber capitalists' who believe they deserve to rule in a 'Flagrant' podcast. 'There is a new breed of uber capitalists out there who really believe... that they are superior human beings,' he said. He pointed to far-right rhetoric that openly dismisses democracy in favor of elite rule. Sanders said this mindset echoes old ideas of divine entitlement. 'Back in the 19th century... I am the king, God made my family king. Sorry you're starving to death, but that's the way life goes.'He criticized billionaires for hoarding wealth and only choosing to give it away when they are near death, calling it a system that has the resources to solve real problems but refuses to act. 'We are the richest country in the history of the world,' he said. 'And yet 60% of people live paycheck to paycheck.' 'Is it a radical idea that we join every other major country on Earth and guarantee health care for people?' Sanders asked on CNN. 'Is it a radical idea to say that we've got to raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour?' For Sanders, these aren't fringe ideas—they're common sense in much of the developed world.
