What?? This is very bad news for people (at least in inner-ish London) who want to live without a car. I'm more of a Zip van user myself and they can be very, very useful.

What's so damned corrosive rebutting this influencer shit about railways (or probably anything else for that matter) is it makes you doubt whether hard work is even worth the effort
Why bother asking, checking, confirming if something makes sense, when the bullshit wins more plaudits than truth

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

The old Engineer vs Project Manager debate is alive and well.
You can deliver quality, you can do something quickly, or you can do something cheaply.
Whichever one you choose, the other two will suffer.

It wouldn’t be without big consequences here.
But I find it wild that wealth taxes are straight-off treated as impossibilities whereas expelling immigrants and leaving the ECHR is seen as totally doable, when the evidence is the other way around.

When they say “too many are ignored” it means there’s too much focus on Reform and their handful of MPs compared to the Greens or the Lib Dems.
"Over the last year, Badenoch has asked c.200 questions, Davey around 70, Green MPs 9, and Farage just 6. If those questions had been distributed according to their share of the opinion polls, rather than the number of MPs, Farage would have asked 120 , and the others between 40 and 60 each."
