Clegg was replaced last January by Republican lobbyist Joel Kaplan. I guess even Clegg couldn't kiss Trump ass like the MAGA bunch.

I agree with the cliff thing, but riding off-parish could be good for some North Americans. 😁

Well, that's a step or two more than lining up the inflation text with the valve. 😉

Close one, I was thinking about giving them my vote. But you've reminded me of the biodiesel-libertarians in the green movement.

This LTN opportunism is widespread. In Hackney I was very disappointed to see this Green leaflet which plays up opposition to a new LTN. Really @zoegarbett.bsky.social? Not quite openly anti but a lot of people noticed how negative & equivocal this is. I thought you were promising to go further?

If a politician insults a journalist, all journalists should leave the press conference.

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Why CBS Didn't Broadcast Stephen Colbert's Interview With James Talarico

Colbert was blocked from interviewing a politician last night by CBS, despite talk shows not being subject to equal time rules.
So the interview is on YouTube (you can use Brave browser to block ads).

I have zero recollection of this, I probably ignored it after seeing the locations were motorway junctions. 😀

Heh nice. I'm looking forward to herding cars.

Compared to the Pontins Bluecoat standing next to him. It's too shiny for my taste.

They are reading from a script, it's obvious which country that script came from.

There seems to be a consensus amongst MPs that it's best not to talk about downsides because someone might bring it up later after they failed to act on their words.

I think the people of this country have had enough of tax-exile billionaires.

I'm sure they won't toll the bridge to pay for the repairs.

Meanwhile in east London, the lifts haven't worked in the Woolwich and Greenwich foot tunnels for years and this gets zero attention, just an article in the local papers twice a year when the councils promise to fix it and then don't. 'London' didn't draw attention, drivers inconvenience does.

I'm thinking splinters. Ouch.

Billy the bollard that grew its own bollard, local celeb in Stoke Newington, north London.

Every bollard that falls should be replaced with one of these.

European Arrest Warrants can be issued by any EU member country, I hope to see it.

A Google Gemini search response advising me on how to get YouTube without adverts. "YouTube ads are currently non-existent or extremely limited in Albania, making it a popular, unofficial, and free alternative to YouTube Premium via VPN usage. This is not due to a legal ban, but rather because Albania is not part of Google's monetized markets, resulting in a lack of inventory for advertisers. Users can watch uninterrupted content by setting their VPN to an Albanian server."

LOL. Thanks Google Gemini. 🤣

Can we have the show on BBC iPlayer again?

West ham lane choked with cars, little do they know but Stratford high Street is also gridlocked. My bus was stuck there for 5 minutes even with priority.

Yes I'm on a bus, I gave up cycling Hackney to Plaistow at the beginning of the year despite it being my most regular route, I can't rely on the Greenway being open or diversions being safe. It now takes twice as long and involves a train and a bus. In good news I'm reading books again.

Time to campaign for all cars to be yellow.

Court of Appeal just ruled Tower Hamlets DECISION to remove the Bethnal Green LTN is UNLAWFUL.

Councils can't remove without going through proper process & getting Mayor of London's approval.

This is a MASSIVE precedent for London. Years of work vindicated.
