The famous cone on the Duke Of Wellington statue has been replaced with a pigeon reading a newspaper - and the pigeon has a tiny cone hat.

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

More on the British Library crisis:
This explains why British Library staff are on strike
The union says - managers take home up to £170k with £15k bonuses, while staff offered below-inflation pay rise
Meanwhile, frontline staff take abuse for the massive data breach - which managers failed to foresee

Today, we honoured Rob Dale, a driver whose life was lost during the immense stress of TfL's licence delays.
We held a vigil at their offices, a somber remembrance that turned into a fiery protest
We turned grief into action and demanded justice.
The fight continues for all drivers. ✊🏽

Yesterday my day began with Dick Cheney being dead in hell and ended with socialism winning an election while the entire establishment looked on, dismayed that they couldn't do a damn thing about it. It was a very good day.

Hearty congratulations to Helen Garner who has won the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction with her collected diaries, How to End a Story.
A glorious book - confession, analysis, memory store, comedy - which shows all the things words can do: often on the same page. AND it’s mega good value.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?
