Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

If Labour had an ounce of sense, tomorrow they would announce that people with ILR will now be able to vote in UK elections. There you go. That's 175,000 people who aren't gonna vote Reform added to the franchise.

Here's a parody adaptation of the classic song "Walking in Memphis" by the soulful Marc Cohn, in which we address Donald Trump's arrival in the UK for his exciting historic second state visit.

It's called "Put Up Some Fences" 🎹🎶
