Reform UK fulfils pledge to scrap LTNs in its council areas as none exist
All 10 council areas controlled by rightwing party tell the Guardian they have no low-traffic neighbourhoods
Reform UK’s pledge to remove all low-traffic neighbourhoods from the council areas it controls looks to be achieved in record time after the 10 local authorities said they do not actually have any in place.
Zia Yusuf, Reform UK’s chair, said last week there would be a “large-scale reversal” of existing LTNs in the 10 areas across England where the party won control of the councils in local elections on 1 May. Continue reading...

The horrific situation that the EBU have put #Eurovision in where a country commuting GENOCIDE can nearly win the contest is an insult to everything it stands for.

The number of Islamophobic posts about London Mayor Sadiq Khan has risen from 12,000 to 28,000 over the last 12 months, according to a GLA report.
They’re nearly all on TwitterX and more than half come from the US and India.

Nice analysis of what's impressive about the orchestration of Bolero (a piece I like), tho to those in the art world the idea of taking a theme and putting it in different contexts is pretty familiar van-magazine.com/mag/ravel-bo...

As a general matter, I also dislike the idea of respectability in dress because the concept is often unevenly applied. It bothered me to see Vance smirking during this moment, as he supposedly champions the forgotten working poor who are most often shamed because of these concepts.

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.
