What is “fully English?” A breakfast order, right?
JD Vance laments the diversity of New York City ahead of Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally: “London doesn’t feel fully English to me anymore. Right? New York of course is the classic American city. Over time, I think New York will start to feel less American.”

The amount of times I was nearly squashed by an irresponsible bus driver trying to get to the bus stop by pushing me & my bike out of the way.. tbf any time more than NEVER is not ok.

Got news of a new temporary research job for PhDs @uniofbrighton, offering an hourly pay of "approximately £14." This is less than what a mature supermarket clerk earns in the Netherlands. Doesn't feel like @uniofbrighton thinks its PhDs are worthy, respectable academics.

UN special rapporteur on the human right to clean water @SRWatSan has criticised England's water system for "putting shareholders before public." It's a careless, criminal and destructive system and intl laughing stock. @thameswater @SouthernWater
