Another nail in Clegg's coffin?
Just what is Nick Clegg playing at? Is he waving the white flag or is he taking a pragmatic approach to what he views as political reality? I am, of course, referring to the former Member for Sheffield Hallam's 'advice' to people wishing to stop Brexit to join either the Tory or Labour Parties and to work for this aim rather than to join his own party. Is that it then for breaking the mould? Can we expect him to put his money where his mouth is?

Council seeks “mash-up” of powers to “criminalise” CYCLING - and what else?
In an absurd proposal, Dacorum Council is consulting on a plan to ban cycling on several public roads in Hemel Hempstead, as part of their hotch-potch "Public Space Protection Order" (PSPO), which allows fines at the Council's discretion, for cycling and a mixed bunch of various other things.

The Council's map shows the PSPO area would cover Waterhouse Street, Bridge Street, Combe Street and the High Street, parts of which are public highway used by cars, bikes, buses etc. "Please join me in asking that these muddled plans be thrown out; we need to encourage cycling for health, and provide activities for kids - not make it a criminal offence to be bored! Let's have proper cycle-paths in Hemel, routes that bikes and skateboards can be used
