I'm baffled as to who the Labour Party thinks they might appeal to, now they've pissed off all of their supporters.

Definitely the "I've just smelled a really interesting smell" face.

Sadly, it looks like an ash with ash dieback. Charismatic, but definitely struggling.

I look at the price of the train, then think about the hassle of driving. Then don't bother going.

You missed the third reason; some drivers think that is perfectly fine.

You do realise that it is your cat now? This is the cat distribution system in action. Accept your fate.

...and as a result, taking the world straight back to the 1930s.

Dreadful story. And yet, further down in the article, it still manages to push the myth that reducing motor vehicle traffic reduces shop sales. Presumably "for balance".

Is this in the UK? The adults can't survive the winter up here in the frozen north (of England).

Thames Water have been allowed to add another Β£3 billion to their existing Β£19 billion of debt.

They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure.

It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

Presumed Liability Law; presumption that the person with most dangerous vehicle is at fault unless proved otherwise. I witnessed how careful motor vehicle drivers are around cyclists in Holland + Germany; I think them having this law is a big part of that.

I didn't expect this version of the Labour Party to be great, but I really didn't think they'd be this... dismal.

I think mine is about 35 years old, maybe more. Still perfect functionally, and has a metal finish, so no paint to scratch and flake.

A newly decorated room with a desk and stool, an electric guitar, a stripped wooden floor and a blue / green and red rug. The walls are very dark green.

Just finished decorating this room. I don't expect it will ever be this tidy again.

I wasn't defending anybody (certainly not large agribusiness)... just pointing out that a quote was being presented without context.

In the article it seems he means the amount of methane burped by his cows, versus the amount of carbon sequestered by his pasture. The article discusses his dairy enterprise, specifically, not climate change in general.
