When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

I objectively live close to work. The thought that MOST CAR TRIPS ARE SHORTER THAN THIS - not just around here, but across the whole nation - is mindboggling

Sadiq Khan responds to Donald Trump's latest attack. A spokesperson says: "The Mayor is clearly still living rent free in Donald’s Trump’s head. He’s obsessed with him. Sadiq could probably claim squatters rights"

Melania Trump is chairing a UN Security Council meeting.

I'm not joking.

The US currently holds the presidency of the council and that's who Trump chose as chair.

For Β£35k, which is zippity nada in the scheme of even impoverished council funding, just going to show that it's not actually about the money in any case. Vandals.

Bus stop taxi lane bypass that strangely seems to have avoided being labelled a social injustice

Not one penny of British taxpayers’ money to repatriate the fake patriot tax dodging crooks, influencers, faded sportsmen, and robber barons hiding in Dubai.

Enjoy your modern slavery-built infinity pools and air raid sirens.

Went last weekend to the Avedon. So good. Went to the final day of Lee Miller at Tate the same afternoon and it was bedlam and not a great experience!

That’s possible but in my experience this is said by some people about every single scheme of this type and inevitably the changes bed in and after a while only a tiny number of once opponents would still want changes/removal. There’s a lot of thought and planning goes into these schemes now.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί "In recent years to see the London Stock Exchange on its knees, to see good jobs lost, actually losing out in a way we could never have imagined to competitors in Europe."

🫠 Can anyone think of a major political event that made the British economy less attractive - maybe around 2016?

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a Β£2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.

Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

Farage's claims here are straightforward lies (and it's about time the media/press said so)

The correct figures are 160K (0.3%) and 900K (1.5%)
