Surely it is time for the authorities to take this Fairford terrorism case out of the hands of the police & pass it over to Nigel Farage, Richard Tice & Isabel Oakeshott etc. These people have the expertise & skills to have this all solved & explained to the public by tonight.👍

It never stops being important that, no matter what the subject, politicians like Farage, Trump & Rubio are entirely untethered from the most basic requirements of honest discourse. They might turn out to be telling the truth sometimes but only ever in the spirit of stopped clocks.

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

This Guardian article is headlined 'Fairford bomb plot', no quote marks. But the penultimate paragraph says "After the suspects’ release it emerged that no explosive material had been found.". Someone have a word with the subs?

Rubio says foreign actor was ‘clearly’ behind suspected RAF Fairford bomb plot

The US secretary of state offered no evidence for his claims, and also said many people were ‘disturbed’ that the five suspects had been released on bail

Every time I return to Paris, I notice they've done more to reclaim streets from drivers and cars, including removing on-street parking, protecting cyclists from drivers, and prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists in shared spaces. Other cities can learn a lot from Paris.

Rue de Rivoli: 1983 vs now In recent years, Paris has made leaps towards becoming a greener city. A big factor is the transformation of streets. By creating people-first environments, choosing the bike, walking or public transport is made easier and safer. 📸 via Ingwar Perowanowitsch

"I left Britain because of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods" said nobody genuinely ever. The Telegraph scours the globe for anyone of notable net worth who recently moved and asking them for a list of pet peeves out of which they pick the one that serves the Telegraph "capital flight" narrative best.

More "balance" crap from the BBC. It's well known now that 20mph: Reduces pollution. Reduces collisions and casualty rates as well as deaths. Reduces insurance costs. But they "balance" against some impatient drivers who "get frustrated". That's just bad driving. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why are more towns and cities moving to 20mph?

Many councils are turning to 20mph limits, but questions remain over the benefits across the UK.

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.
