"Political support for Cambridge congestion charge falters"

I suspected the LibDems would withdraw support for the Cambridge congestion charge. Doing so helps in the party's battle with Tories in key council wards and parliamentary constituencies.

The political shenanigans leave us with the problems of a rapidly growing but fundamentally mediaeval city in near permanent gridlock and appalling air quality.

The Royal Mail used to be a truly wonderful company, until it was privatised...... we've had post being delivered at 8pm, several days with no post whatsoever and then mass-drop through the letter box.

Feeling very sorry for the posties in a what is now a vastly resource-depleted company that only cares for its shareholders.

Both Tories & Lib-Dems are to blame for this one, fuck you Vince Cable.

People might choose in the election booth but that is only between them and their conscience on election day.

But for now and ' is to prove that they are worthy of it and will have the strength to convince and deliver change rather than choosing the easier path of doing nothing

They need to explain better and build support for ambitious change and reform. We will all have to do better or face the consequences.

If they chose to water things down then we will lose another 5 years

"Rightwing lobby group campaigns to undermine UK four-day week"

The Plutocrats Alliance strikes again, this time against those terribly nice LibDems in my manor, South Cambridgeshire.

A coke-fueled government death squad is reportedly heading for Cambourne.

"Northstowe: The broken-promise new town built 'with no heart'"

Telling residents that "Maybe a management of expectations might have been a good way to go." is not a good look for the in the party's flagship East Anglian district council. Promises have not been honoured, and residents still have no shops, GP surgery, or pretty much anything else. I've seen the town, and it's a soulless shell.

"There is no proposed loss of marked parking bays resulting from these proposals". Indeed we are removing the segregated cycle lane and putting a "shared used" sign on the pavement.

If the can bankrupt a council in 18 days, imagine what they'd do if given the keys to Number 10. Shocking, it is! You can never trust the LibDems. Oh no.

As you watch talk about a new era for the , don't forget that he was sitting in the room with when they facilitated/enabled the start of the current Tory regime in the coalition arrangement of 2010.... If there's another hung parliament would you trust him not to decide to go into coalition with the 'reasonable' wing of the Tory party - they did it once, they could do it again!
