Utterly despicable reporting on BBC Breakfast this morning allowing someone to spout bullshit and lies without being held to account. This has to be one of the worst ones. If only people had their licences removed for driving on pavements. Then pavement parking wouldnβt exist.

I assumed that I'd misread or something and this was about national US politics. But no, it appears the.... electoral contest???... over who gets to be the next judge on the Wisconsin Supreme Court will cost about the same as all campaign spending by all parties in a UK general election.

I was only kidding. Interesting to see the relevant breakdown of sectors. I'm assuming most of both TW and T&M finance employment will be in the towns

Good spot Siobhan.
I've loved my time as a Borough Councillor but with 2 small boys now I've had to take a step back

How did it go?
Thanks for your kind words, I got in just under 1:50 which I was happy with. My hips didn't thank me by the end!

Sounds like you're running? All the best. As ever my prep has been hampered by life taking over, so will just see how it goes!

We must stand with the people of Georgia and their fight for democracy. The UK must act now.
This weekendβs violence in Georgia proves why transatlantic cooperation matters. @RepJoeWilson and I have urged the Foreign Secretary to sanction Ivanishvili - Putin's oligarch puppet.

BREAKING: Weβve WON a historic case against the Rosebank & Jackdaw oil & gas fields. π
π NO NEW OIL AND GAS! π£
This is GAME-CHANGING.
And itβs ONLY been possible thanks to YEARS of fighting by THOUSANDS of climate campaigners! Power to the people. β

Β£9bn for 5 years' congestion relief. Madness. This money could be put to such better use, like improving rail freight infrastructure.
More expensive per mile than HS2 apparently

Thanks Nick. Hoping to get an extraordinary JTB together next week to discuss the TRO and submit a response (we didn't get enough notice of it from KCC to discuss in Jan's JTB)

Picture of a huge SUV car parked next to a smaller car, which shows the considerable difference in today's car sizes.
CarObesity is real - 1cm wider every 2 yrs. Around 60% of new cars sold in the UK are SUVs.
And, just like health impacts of diesel, govt isnt acting so city leaders must.
We need policies that discourage uneccessarily large cars, which are a threat to public space, clean air & children's lives.

David thanks. Camden Road is in the plans for improvement. Do feed this back via the survey. Agree it is a pig of a road right now, shame as it's got some fantastic shops
