“Bumping” tube station barriers is so common there are now fare evasion influencers! Content includes “bumpability” ratings and POVs (some mocking the staff’s indifference)
'Why can’t we have two police officers stationed by the barriers at every major tube station in the capital?' ✍️ James Hanson

Grenfell demolition is good. £340m to keep it idly standing was deranged. But alongside all cladding incompetence, we could also pledge never to build a tower block so uninspiring and dreary in London again.

He also said that Mauritius will now have a right to veto extending the lease He also revealed that Lord Hermer, the attorney-general, was involved in the latest round of face-to-face negotiations

As a European migrant myself with some family and groups of European migrant friends, the worries of Brexit and how it’d unfold were rather trivial, looking back. A big reason these Londoners could feel ‘unwanted’ today is little to no wage growth, higher costs and the atrocious housing market: often having no choice but to live in dull and crime-ridden Zone 4/5/6 commuter towns. I don’t know who this man is preaching to.
Five years on from Brexit, London remains a European city, where European Londoners are valued and cherished. You are our neighbours, colleagues, friends and loved ones. Thank you for making London your home. You are wanted here—and always will be.

What’s Renewal 2030, you ask? Your shadow foreign secretary trying to convince that a policy deemed a complete failure by many once-loyal voters, who’ve since defected to a party that’ll splice this very interview for future adverts, was actually good. I think.
"Did every one of those 1.2m people flooding into the country in the last three years, did they need to come here?" @MrHarryCole challenges Priti Patel to apologise for promising to take back control of borders, before 'throwing them open'. 📺 WATCH:

@StevenEdginton There was a charm in the air back in September, I thought. A stillness before a new dawn. Massively slept on city imo

"In America, the impossible is what we do best" Trump's speech felt sincere. As some pointed out, yes he was on the offensive, but only to his benefit. It wasn't theatrical, it was controlled. He evoked a pride and confidence in Western ideals (and himself as the one to guard them) that no recent leader in Britain/Europe has, convincingly at least.
