Is it possible to make London's streets safe for cyclists?

How do we tackle congestion on London's roads if we're to clear the way for more cyclists?

Two cyclists have been killed in as many days on London's streets. In the same week Mayor Boris Johnson has unveiled his Cycle Safety Action Plan. But I'm asking if there simply isn't enough room on London's streets to make it safe for cyclists and lorries to share the road? The streets are congested and covered in roadworks in central London, and that seems to be the issue that needs addressing. After Gordon Brown was turned down for an appearance on Match of the Day 2, why is it that politicians are going for the lowbrow platforms?

The 2 daughters were raped and abused by their father for over 25 years. I can't believe I have to ask this, but how could this 'British Fritzl' case have happened? Why was nobody - not one single person - held responsible? Do we really have to get to this stage to 'learn lessons'? Who was your perfect teacher? Were they soft or strict and which works best? Michael Winner and Anne Widdecombe talking of the teachers who most inspired them.

Ofcom has ruled TV has a 'human right' to show offensive material after a particular word was used on Big Brother's Big Mouth. How easy is it to define language that may cause offence, and where should you draw the line with freedom of expression? Plus, who will win the battle of the wives after David Cameron announced his wife Samantha will be more in the limelight in the run up to the election campaign?

I'll be back tomorrow morning from 7am.
