The real 500 Miles: how a smash hit was spun from lies, deceit and desperation 

Craig and Charlie Reid found fame and fortune with the story of their 1,000 mile walk. We can reveal that the truth behind it is very different.

British-made bicycle saddle brand Brooks opened its Smethick factory today for tours, fascinating to see the skills and craft that goes into the range

Beautifully and succinctly put: 'Things are looking good at Disney and it is celebrating in time honoured fashion by laying off more staff'

The most important achievement of the right in the C21st has been the invention of an all-powerful "establishment" that does not include the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, the world's richest media moguls, the party that was in govt for 14 years, Boris Johnson or the billionaire president of the US

WHY do they bother with signs
on fire hoses saying that it is not
drinking water? The type of person
who likes to drink directly from a high
pressure fire hose is hardly going to be
put off by a little thing like that.

Loopholes in parliamentary rules mean that Tice has not had to declare anything about Gellymill or its investments.

If you agree that there should be stricter transparency requirements on MPs to declare their offshore financial interests, please retweet this thread.

A Viz Crap Joke: A nightschool classroom, with a variety of middle-aged folks sitting at desks with an instructor at the front, with scissors, string, sheets of paper on his desk. There is an empty desk with similar equipment in the front row, facing the instructor. On the board behind the teacher are written the words 'Bookbinding Class'. A prospective student has tentatively come through the door and stopped, as the class appears to have already started. The bookbinding instructor is looking towards him with a welcoming smile, inviting him to join in, saying: "Come in. Make yourself a tome."

Huge respect to @londonfire.bsky.social for clear-eyed assessment of LTNs. Shame it's unlikely to be accepted by the usual anti-LTN suspects at Times, Telegraph, SEJ etc.
HT @carolinerussell.bsky.social & Rowe for being brave enough to be this clear, despite inevitable rubbish that'll come back...
