Cancelling Brockwell Park festivals would be a 'devastating blow' Thousands of people will be affected if Brockwell Park's festivals are called off, the NTIA warns.

Deliveroo agrees to £2.9bn takeover by DoorDash The deal is the latest example of a UK-listed company being taken over by a US rival.

NO! Why do UK business always sell out to the US? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... We can never make Europe independent if we keep selling our success stories. Terrible, terrible news.

The West End Is Set To Welcome A New State-Of-The-Art Theatre As Planning Permission Has Just Been Granted The curtain could soon be raised on a shiny new theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue that's set to become the first permanent home of Cirque du Soleil.

Very exciting and exactly what the West End needs to keep London and the UK at the leading edge of global theatre and culture - secretldn.com/saville-thea...

I’ll be honest, I could’ve done without this news: I’m going on a stag do to Leeds on Friday, all 10 of us dressed as cardinals.

In reality shows, there always seems to be a personal insight to each character's backstory in the penultimate or final episode. Why? Does anyone actually care about this at this point? It always seems so forced and unnecessary. #TheApprentice #GBBO #GreatBritishMenu

What’s happening to big city density in England in five charts - Centre for Cities Apart from London, big cities have barely densified outside their centres over the past decade

An interesting report from @centreforcities.bsky.social I expect there to be notable change in with the recent upturn in resi builds in Leeds, though, that is infilling a lot of suburban gaps (eg Seacroft) and dense brownfield builds in the city (eg Holbeck)

Hungary bans LGBT Pride marches sparking protests The move from Orban's conservative government is the latest in a crackdown on the LGBT community.

So what is the EU doing? Why is Hungary not immediately suspended from the EU? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah, my old politics teacher there 🙃

Very disappointing to see a small group of people holding the city to ransom. It's also what's fuelling the massive expansion at Manchester, causing even more intensive flight operations there with the overall effect of increasing CO2 emissions above what they'd be if Leeds was better served.

'We don't need a Gail's' - the coffee shop boom dividing locals The controversial cafe chain is expanding outside London but locals often have mixed feelings.

Gail’s were a big backer and funder of Brexit. Know where you’re spending your money and what you’re backing in doing so - www.bbc.com/news/article...

K Pop, streaming, Taylor Swift: 'Threats' facing UK pop music in bestseller charts British acts miss out on the worldwide annual music charts for the first time in two decades.

Brexit has made it much harder for acts to tour, while it's also made the entire country (a lot) poorer so people just can't take the financial risk of a music career like they were more able to ten years ago: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Godstone: Man, 87, 'staying put' in home near Surrey sinkhole Bren Davis, 87, said he's not going anywhere despite living metres from the sinkholes.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Unapologetically. ✊🇪🇺

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

Trump's isolation threatens global democracy, warns former PM John Major Sir John says US policy will embolden Russia and China, with gains since the fall of the Soviet Union being reversed.

This is why Europe needs to step up. But I mean really step up. UK back in the EU, with the EU properly united. No childish nationalistic tug-of-wars; a democratic superpower to lead the free world: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @volteuropa.org

Tutti i gay hanno votato per il ragazzo hot 😂 Penso che c'è impossible che questa canzone può vincere Eurovision. Troppo lento. Ma in bocca al lupo! #sanrenmo

Very encouraged by the appointment of Angela Barnicle as Leeds' new much-needed Director of City Development. I hope we can really turbocharge Leeds to reach its potential with her at the helm: www.linkedin.com/posts/leeds-...

Yes I am, for now at least. Had to get out of the UK after Brexit - couldn't deal with the toxicity of it all. Plus I don't really think the UK is going to ever succeed again until its reversed so I'm riding out the storm in the Med.

Niente. Followed you as a councillor in the past (always been a keen follower of Leeds' development and still am). Didn't know you were now volunteering at Meanwood urban farm but I remember going there many times in the past!

I cannot tell you, as someone who comes from Leeds, how beautiful this sight is to me. #grazholding #trams

I suspect many people would beg to differ. #freeterritoryoftrieste #mitteleuropa #europe

Sooo… Looks like this is happening tonight.

Jeremy Clarkson's piece on Brexit.

I don't like him.

But this is a good summary.

ChatGPT produces the same amount of CO2 emissions as 260 flights from New York City to London each month, study finds Each month, the AI chatbot produces more than 260,930 kilograms of CO2.

This is why the focussed pressure on one industry while other industries get away with much higher emissions is flawed - fortune.com/2025/01/21/c...

Casting Joanna Lumley as Amanda's mum in Motherland/Amandaland was honestly perfect casting. Nobody could have fit that role better. <3
