The hard shoulders on motorways.
We write with some concern of the idea of allowing the hard shoulders on motoways open to traffic. We find it hard to understand why Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly is so excited about extending this idea to other motorways. The concept now is that the hard shoulder is there for emergencies and is often used by emergency vehicles. The opening of the hard shoulder as an experiment on the M42 is greeted with comments on pollution easing and more traffic flow.
We are rather alarmed that now this formula will be extended to other motorways. This is a bad idea and we hope wiser heads will intervene and prevent such a development.

- JLC and Board of Deputies Statement on Meeting with Jeremy Corbyn April 24, 2018This is a cross-post. Our meeting with Jeremy Corbyn today was a disappointing missed opportunity regarding the problem of antisemitism in the Labour Party. We welcomed Mr Corbyn’s personal involvement in the discussion and his new comments recognising and apologising for antisemitism in the Labour Party but he failed to agree to any of the concrete [...]

- Eurozone: UK ready to back IMF bailouts November 2, 2011Britain is standing by to give more money to the IMF so that it can, in turn, lend more money to Eurozone countries like Greece, Italy or Spain who are struggling to service their debts. The government now believes, I'm told, that there are only three ways out of the current crisis - one they hope for, one they fear and a third they are ready to accept. […]
