The prime minister is reportedly set to announce a number of new policies aimed at drivers, including possible limits on the powers of councils in England to impose 20mph speed limits.
Sunak today criticised Wales’ new default 20mph speed limit, describing it as “absolutely not right” and saying: “It doesn’t reflect people’s priorities.” Commons leader Penny Mordaunt had previously called the scheme “absolutely insane”.
But research commissioned by the Department for Transport in 2018 found that “20mph limits are supported by the majority of residents and drivers”.

Typical L from English politicians trying to make England into an even less fun version of the US.
Freedom bro here. You guys, don’t buy it. I know shit sucks over there, but taking on shitty US policy like privatized healthcare, car centric infrastructure / urban design, and privatization of public goods is only going to make it worse. We’re (USA) going to be unfucking the damage from these policies for a long, long time, and the same people that have spent decades extracting all the wealth they could out of the US’ middle class with these policies are fucking desperate to do it elsewhere. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, just say no to these fucks.
