Since then, the highway network management guidance on supporting active travel has been withdrawn, with a note "see The Plan for Drivers" 🙁

He's a government minister. He needs to get his facts right, not base policy on internet conspiracy theories. Don't his researchers do fact checking? Or only when it suits him.

His researchers probably check facts, but he may prefer to listen to his spin doctors telling him which conspiracies could win him votes.

Only when it suits him, because he's a government minister!

Remember Failing Grayling, a previous transport secretary? So thick he reckoned cyclists weren't classed as road users, and tried to kill one of our number with a car door. Well, he's not running again at the next election.

Leaving before the rush??
Or has he got an offer of a highly paid job due to his expertise and experience???
(The exact meaning of "expertise" in the above sentence may have to be varied from the dictionary meaning for the sentence to make sense!)

It's sad and I wouldn't wish it on anyone but he was still a Muppet transport minister. We've had worse as prime minister since, though.
