Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change.

Cambridge University students have demanded significant plant-based catering on university sites. Sadly the university is dragging its feet and allowing caterers to backtrack on promises. I've signed the petition to ask the university to take this seriously c.org/t9bW8fcgQg

Fun fact: Farage has made £140,000 (2000 videos) from the Cameo messaging platform over the past 12 months - but has spoken in Parliament only 22 times, and mentioned his Clacton constituents on just three occasions.

British banks expect their capital requirements to be eased.

Lower capital requirements and higher leverage to be permitted as post-2008 crash reforms scrapped.
