I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

Yeah not to be over-reactionary about this but I really think adverts like this should be illegal. This is plastered all over Old Street station.

Dear Mr. Clegg
I have started a business, selling the contents of your house
I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house
Without this access my company will not be profitable
Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree
Please advise how I should proceed

It must be great being in Reform. Everyone's always talking about you and bending to your will on the level of vibes but you can come up with any old shit as a policy and get away with it. Schrödinger's Reform: simultaneously the next government and outsiders whose policies don't demand scrutiny
Richard Tice, Deputy Leader of Reform, said on Today this morning that to make things better for care workers, he would increase the tax free allowance to £20,000.
I think this is the most expensive, and impossible, tax policy ever proposed by a UK political party at around £50bn.

In any other major city in Europe the streets of Soho would obviously be pedestrianised and businesses/visitors on a glorious day like today could enjoy al fresco dining. But thanks to Westminster Council and the way we give outsized power to absurd local complaints, not here!
