Just took 93yr mum to vote, she’s registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, “Which box for Jimmy Anderson to play Test cricket till he's 50?” A cheer went up from waiting voters.

I know it's stupid electioneering and will never happen, but this has really would me up.

How dare this bunch of clowns who've spent the last few years destroying everything turn around and insist that kids are the ones not displaying adequate civic responsibility?

This is about Avanti right?

@JunglistYid Someone says it's like spending a week in the Trafford Centre when the heating is turned way up.

And, ultimately, we either believe that 18 is the year at which people reach adulthood, or we don’t. It would be baffling to allow an adult to vote, get married, perform jury service, get a tattoo, buy alcohol, and become a Member of Parliament, but not to buy tobacco.

And there would be a disparity in the rights of adults based on in which year they were born, which does not sit well with me.

The real fun in this is imagining the conversation about whether to have the men's team or women's team in the image. 'But the women did actually win something,' 'yes, but will it look too woke?' Tough gig.

“A single unmuffled scooter crossing Paris at night can wake as many as 10,000 people.”

We seriously underestimate the impact of vehicle noise on urban livability & health. Cities aren’t noisy, engines are.

There’s an antiques emporium in Norwich of such unfathomable strangeness every visit produces fresh gasps of bewilderment and terror. Today’s finds:

Keir Starmer has the opportunity to do the funniest thing and appoint Ed Miliband as Shadow Foreign Secretary

The cost of freezing fuel duty from 2010 (a 37% real terms cut) is about £6bn a year. If Britain tolled its motorways at the same price France does, it would raise £7bn a year. Funny how we can afford free motorways and endlessly declining fuel tax revenues but not a train

Can we do this but the opposite with old people and driving until eventually everyone has to cycle everywhere

Sunak: "I propose that in the future we raise the smoking age by one year, every year. That means that a 14-year-old today will never legally be able to buy cigarettes."
