but what the sunday telegraph is looking at is the cost of it all.t £10,000, per families cannot afford that. fairly comfortable of families will struggle to afford that as well. in london where i live, you have the north circular road and south circular road where three months, anybody crossing them in old cars will have to pay £12 50 which means my 90—year—old mother in her 12—year—old car coming to .5 miles to visit me for lunch will have to pay £12 50 every time. will that hurt? yes, of course. it is all being done to force us to concentrate on what is required up ahead. we talk about horizons but in ahead. we talk about horizons but in a small way, we are seeing the horizon, there are cycle lanes everywhere. that will bring down driving but it is big stuff that needs to be done. but in order to get the big stuff done, it has to be bottom—up and it will cost you and me and all of those people out there a lot of money to actually hit the targets we are setting ourselves. it is interesting, because in this article there is a reference to the treasu

the sunday telegraph's front page story looks at criticism from former prime minister tony blair, whoh troops into afghanistan 20 years ago. he says the uk has a "moral obligation" to stay until everyone who needs to leave the country has been evacuated. the mirror also features those comments from mr blair, who added president biden�*s withdrawal from the country was "imbecilic". meanwhile, the sunday express features comments from the armed forces minister, who says british veterans who served in afghanistan should be proud of what they accomplished, despite the collapse of the afghan government. let's start on the mirror. it is quoting an article from the telegraph but it is one that is unsurprising how many of the papers have chosen to go with it, given that this is tony blair who is not known for his criticism of american governments. laying it on thick, if not by name president biden. mr blair not by name president biden. m blair has written an article where he strongly attacked the withdrawal of allied troops from afghanistan, but particularly laying the blame at presidentjoe b
