Not a bot. Not 🏴, live in Wales. Most disappointing maths PhD grad 🏆. "Uncritical" = not essential, I occasionally question. ?SYNTAX ERROR. READY.

Never mind those who work late, like in bars or supermarkets, and need to somehow get home? Which is presumably why they got a car in the first place?

I think they think “15 minute cities” implies some sort of cordon. They think it means “you have to live in a 15 minute circle” not “you don’t have to leave your 15 minute circle but you can if you want”.

Yep. Normally Chloe is brilliant. But I just don't get her point here. The EU didn't defeat Hitler. It was created to prevent a repeat.
I am not entirely sure why we bothered to host
#COP26
, only to freeze fuel duty, halve domestic air passenger duty, raise rail fares and cut HS2, NPR, rail electrification and other rail investment.
Does this government care about the environment at all, or only lip service?

If we want to give Hong Kongers or Hawaiians or Hondurans or Hungarians the right of abode, that's our business and no-one else's.
Americans - how routine is a two hour journey?
I have booked to London for December, which is a 95-105 minute train journey plus a 5-10 minute cab ride and a wait in between.
Is such a journey length normal or exceptional?

I think rural Africa, like everywhere else in the world, would benefit from proper electricity. Not least because mobile phones are very popular in developing countries.
:(
If Rishi Sunak does scrap HS2 north of Birmingham, the Tories have lost any chance of getting my vote for years. This would mean most of the costs are incurred without the benefits.

@lordsutch
Yep. It's like the calls for MPs to not be paid or to only get a nominal wage. It just means only people with alternative income can do the job. And, worse, incentivises corruption.
Morning my fine followers, fancy a 'Trade tariffs in laymans terms' thread for breakfast? alright then, here ya go...
“But Germany, France and Italy won’t stop buying things from the UK if we leave” say the Brexiteers, they NEED us, and they won’t put us into a tariff regime".

What would he rather do with it? It will never be an actual coin operated phone. Far better for it to be a defibrillator than to be on the "any old iron" scrapper's truck. cc

We didn’t want Russia to invade Ukraine but they did, and it’s either war or surrender. We had surrender already over the Crimea, a stand must now be taken.
@garvanwalshe
I think FoM has been very badly sold, and conflated with other immigration issues that are really quite separate. (Notwithstanding what seems to me a far-fetched link that refugees will live in Germany just long enough to get a German passport then come here - why would they?)

@BBCNewsnight
Which is hardly in keeping with BBC impartiality guidelines. And which would encourage the government to accelerate the plans to scrap the BBC or at least the licence.
How is this a bad thing? Unless you’re whingeing for the sake of it?
HS2 needs to go to Euston. It also needs to go (at least) to Manchester and Leeds (personally I’d run the west to Inverness via Glasgow and the east to Aberdeen via Edinburgh).
Last year Mark Harper insisted the private sector would pay the full costs of delivering HS2 to Euston, knowing full well this was unachievable.
Now he's reportedly allocated £1bn to Euston instead.

Why isn’t the media covering the student at ASU who wanted to slice the throats of Republicans and President Trump?
They didn’t have a problem slandering the Convington Catholic kids for DOING NOTHING WRONG.

It seems NYC and London are the two places in the world which whinge the most about anything reducing access to cars, whey should be two of the places where driving shouldn't be needed.

No, because it looks different on every system and can’t be reliably printed (the “optional PDF” is not an answer as it’s not necessarily generated in a way suitable for printing).
