Too right, they delete the departure at East Croydon 2 minutes before.
Thankfully Citymapper lets you know if it's worth running to the platform.

Surely a better joke for Jack Whitehall there would have been "it's Andy Burnham, ladies and gentlemen. No Andy, please don't get up! You're not allowed to stand." #Brits

The new Wonder Man by Marvel is rather good.
Episodes are short, it's very funny about acting, and it doesn't hurt that it mentions Croydon in the first episode.
@fisherandrew79.bsky.social it's one of my proudest achievements is I got 20 mph speed limits on residential roads included in Croydon Labour's 2014 manifesto, and implemented across Croydon by 2018.
Both Croydon Tories and Croydon Reform are running pro-car speeding campaigns.
Do residents care?
Depends on the council

One could argue that Ireland's legal history is a better precedent for the USA. It has plenty of experience dealing with a written constitution within an inherited English/Scots legal system.

Good to see Angela Rayner continue to support the capping of leasehold ground rents.
Under Angela Rayner and Steve Reed the Labour Government has made great strides in regards strengthening private tenants rights, Labour needs to do the same for leaseholders.

Europe & UK should play it cool for a few days, as Trump's ire is likely to refocus on the Supreme Court.

Snapshot of a page of the Financial Post 16th Jan 26, citing a Bloomberg article saying that the Supreme Court may rule on Trump's Tariffs as early as Tuesday.
Trump could lose the power to impose Tariffs unilaterally within the next week.
This may be Trump's last chance to use tariffs as a power play, as there is a strong chance the Supreme Court will give Congress some control their levels and implementation.
Let's hope not. BTR is impoverishing a generation of younger renters, whose incomes are swallowed up by high rents.
It's a generational swindle of younger people to pay for the pensions of baby boomers, who already benefitted from house prices inflation, and final salary pensions.

Not enough resources are spent by organisations on IT training on their housing systems.
People are too keen to use software they understand like word docs and excel, than spend time learning corporate housing systems.
For some organisations, its only the shadow IT, that’s holding everything together ..

Hi @edjefferson.com any reason why no data for bus stops around East Croydon Station.

I'm all in favour of largely ending the PRS, but their policy is simply, practically, mad. Bring back an owl for everybody and then we are talking

Almost 900 fewer people have been injured on Welsh roads since the default speed limit was lowered from 30 to 20mph two years ago
Casualties on 20 to 30mph roads between July and September 2024 were the lowest for the three month-period since records began in 1979
