- The Government must steer us out of Covid transport chaos [subscription]At last, someone is getting a grip on the chaos on Britains roads. Since the start of the pandemic, drivers have been subjected to a gamut of ridiculous new restrictions on their ability to get around.

The result has been a mess: road closures that have merely diverted traffic onto other routes and caused congestion, pop-up cycle lanes that are rarely used, and street narrowing programmes that have put people off visiting local high streets.
