Let's see how the intrepid Elon inspired team at DOGE - the folks who are currently examining your tax records - are doing! Today they put up their their idea of "open data" which they call a "Wall of Receipts". And look here - two cancelled DEIA contracts for $9,999,999. Wow, they saved $20M! 1/

Imagine the outrage if bikes dripped oil everywhere they went, staining streets, sidewalks, and parking lots. But when cars do it? No one bats an eye.

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.
"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".
