His constituency is hundreds of miles away. Has he ever been? 99.9% of Notting Hill Carnival is joyous. Stay out of it

The permafurious right have drunk so much of their own twitter kool aid that they can’t quite comprehend that Starmer pulled off a diplomatic masterclass in DC. Marvellous to witness the desperation and disbelief as their delusion blanket is ripped from them

London is officially the world’s No.1 destination for 2025. From our unrivalled cultural attractions and world-class food scene to a sports calendar like no other—there’s nowhere like London. I’m delighted that Tripadvisor agrees that London is the top destination in the world.

just to be clear about this; Musk's accusations and threats aimed at Jess Phillips are absolutely vile and offensive, and anyone in British politics who doesn't feel able to say that in public needs to have a word with themselves.

So, a "mandate" is when you don't even have enough votes in the House of Representatives to elect a Speaker? Do I have that right?

I know it's early days and everyone always feels this way at the start of January, but so far the vibes of 2025 feel... not good?

Went down to have a look today and was surprised to see UKIP flags. Occurs to me now that the protest was hijacked by others with no interest in farming at all.
