I had a look at 4 Facebook pages that opposed Wales' new 20mph limit:

- South Wales Against Blanket 20mph limits - 5.3k members

- West Wales Against Blanket 20mph limits - 4.3k

- North Wales Against Blanket 20mph limits - 2.6k

- Mid Wal Against Blanket 20mph limits - 225

So I have been having a little look at the people who run some of the Welsh anti-20mph Facebook groups.

It seems that many of them a run by Tory politicians.... who live in England....and support 20mph where they live....

Let's go on a journey (at a very safe speed).

Let's not forget - the anti-20mph campaign in Wales is mostly English Tory astroturf.

It's also important to highlight that the LTN review also found that residential unclassified streets were over SIX times safer for pedestrians than the same streets with through traffic. It's not a #WarOnCars but a 30 year #SecretWarOnPedestrians

this is disgusting, obviously, but boy does it also show panic.

Agree. & this is the main reason I will now vote Green in every election, both the ones it can win, like my council elections where it’s already the leading party, & the ones where it’s unlikely to win here, like the forthcoming GE. I want to strengthen the anti-far-right voice.

Imagine being the college dean who escorts snipers to the roof to take aim at your own students.

Democracy isn't dying in darkness, it's being murdered in broad daylight.

🗳️ The local elections are just days away - elections which will have big ramifications nationally. Let's get a record number of Greens elected and create a vision for a fairer, greener country.

You know all those brave anti-ULEZ warriors, raging against the machine? Guess what? It turns out they've been comprehensively duped by the machine, whipped into an anti-Establishment frenzy by the governing party's cynical manipulations. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

I was honoured to meet #Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos at the march for #Palestine in London today.

This was a memorable example of the Jewish presence in the march in addition to the sizeable Jewish block.

Anyone who tells you Jews are not welcome or are made to feel unsafe…

Carolin Fohlin is one of the economists whose work I admire the most. I saw her speak in 2016 at Goethe-Universität when she was a guest professor for financial history. She's a leading scholar of the history of German finance and corporate governance. She knows what fascism looks like.

I’m delighted to be joining poet Martina Evans in conversation with Mícheál McCann as part of the Belfast BookFestival on June 9th. I read Martina’s book The Coming Thing (Carcanet) recently and I’m genuinely thrilled by it. Hope to see you there, friends crescentarts.org/events/belfast…

🥀 Many people are telling us they feel let down by Labour.
