In a daring leap of anti-motorist innovation, Labour’s latest brainwave appears to be: “If we build it… but with no parking, maybe they’ll just walk?” Spoiler alert: they won’t. They’ll circle the block like caffeinated vultures hunting for a square metre of legal asphalt.

🧠 Policy by Pint Glass: Less Parking = Utopia?

Somewhere between the third Merlot and the fourth “climate emergency” speech, a Labour wonk had a eureka moment: “Let’s solve traffic by removing where cars can exist. Brilliant!” Forget dealing with delivery vans clogging side streets or punishing corporate emissions—nah, let’s make it your fault for owning a Fiesta.

And while they’re slashing parking bays, the actual traffic creators get a free pass. Giant retail freight? Still thundering down the M1. Amazon? Still teleporting dog food and WiFi kettles to your doorstep in 23 minutes or less. The new British pastime isn’t driving—it’s waiting for the doorbell to ring.

Instead of regulating logistics, Labour wants to guilt-trip your Skoda into extinction.

You see, the average family car has now joined cigarettes, plastic straws, and jokes in the workplace on the naughty step. Meanwhile, Bezos’ drone fleet gets sky priority and free reign over your cul-de-sac.

If they were serious about traffic reduction, they’d be taxing Amazon Prime like it’s champagne, rerouting delivery trucks onto trains, or… here’s a thought: investing in public transport that doesn’t smell like betrayal and broken dreams.

But no. The plan is to build houses where your car can’t live—like it’s an unwanted ex.

So congratulations, Britain. In the future, you can have a flat. Or a car. But not both. And if you want a sofa delivered to your third-floor box? That diesel van will still be there—just parked across three cycle lanes and a flower bed.
