It is also (not deliberately I hope) learned from the Trump playbook: "let's see what happens ..." is regularly Trump's response to many intractable problems or like wars where he says "hey they should stop fighting each other".

Our normally reliable local paper, Islington Tribune, gets some facts wrong. Owen Jones is not a journalist. He is a political campaigner who writes things and does videos. He also fund raises for poltiical candidates opposed to Labour. www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/me-a...

Entitled, anti-social behaviour of those Lime users is crap. We all see this. But Council has limited powers. Government is changing the law to require Lime etc to be licensed. Then we can stop this. In the meantime, Islington Cllrs pushing to start seizure of bikes left blocking pavements.

It is perfectly OK to express solidarity with Palestine and opposition to a genocidal war without doing this. Proscribing Palestine Action is foolish and pointless but then so is getting arrested in this performative way.

Unimpressed and annoyed. Last time he visited London, Marine Corps Ospreys flew repeated circuits over central London for no obvious practical security reason. Seemed more like a show of force.

Wake up North London. Trump's bloody helicopters have arrived. But they aren't providing security, they're just making a point.

I was proud to be there today! This was a tight team. Forwards who attack. Sharp playmakers in midfield. Solid defenders holding the back.

Ashburton Grove, N7. Great expectations were not confounded. Arsenal played some of the best attacking football Iโve seen in a while.

Slight correction: In Islington there is a state funded school, St Mary Magdalene Academy where 10% of its pupils are admitted on an entrance exam which is very similar to the 11+ or common entrance exam used by private schools.

Odd detail: the former tenant says "We have children who were settled in local schools in Islington and coming up for their 11+ exams this autumn". We don't have the 11+ exam in Islington. The ILEA abolished it over 50 years ago.

BBC Chris Mason desperately abusing statistics here: rate of resignations running at "one per week". Only if you measure it across the last two weeks. He's right these events are extraordinary but he's overdoing the rhetoric here.
