Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Really is incredible to think that the Tories announced compensation for victims of two scandals, then did nothing to arrange the money. Labour has had to put aside a massive chunk of the money they secured yesterday to fulfil a promise the previous government made.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

You can criticise Starmer and Reeves for all sorts of things - insufficient honesty at the election, insufficient bravery now - but it is astonishing how comprehensively the last government ran the country into the fucking ground.

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

It's the hope that kills you @LouHaigh. New government, new direction, daily evidence of a climate emergency, yet the same old policies neglecting active travel and public transport while enabling fossil fuels.

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

Putting up bus fares whilst freezing fuel duty is completely irresponsible and wreckless

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Sigh. Reeves becomes latest chancellor to refuse to increase fuel duty and retains supposedly temporary 5p cut. That's £3bn that could have been used on something more worthwhile than a petrified fear of the Sun.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

I would be prepared to accept the abolition of Inheritance Tax on condition that we tax the wealthy properly while they are alive.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

None of this is true.

It was tried by the last government, failed on every metric and was swiftly abandoned.

There is a devastating absence of ideas on how to solve the crisis in criminal justice.

It’s going to take more than microwaving the failed policies of Dominic Raab.

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Is the claim really, in seriousness, that he agreed a secret deal in which he would receive free tickets in exchange for providing her with security to and from her concerts? Is it that he plotted with her in a 10 minute post-gig meeting to… what? Join a conspiracy of lizard people?

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

EXCLUSIVE: Keir Starmer has met literally hundreds of people who aren't Taylor Swift since becoming PM. More on this breaking scandal as we get it.

[CM Luckhurst @CmLuckhurst]

@35mmags @mrdannyp They're very beautiful.
Lovely autumn colours everywhere

[CM Luckhurst @CmLuckhurst]

It's not like there's anything else going on, seriously

[Harry Cole @MrHarryCole]

NEW: Downing Street repeatedly refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer met Taylor Swift after the Government was involved in security talks before the singer was granted a taxpayer-funded blue-light escort in London.

[CM Luckhurst @CmLuckhurst]

@bbcweather are you sure about this 🤔

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

This eye-catching thing is ridiculous. The last time she did it was by talking the most pitiful electorally suicidal gibberish about maternity leave. There's no point seizing the agenda if it involves everyone noticing what a lunatic you are.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Keir Starmer asked by a Tory MP why he's cancelled Boris Johnson's 40 new hospital plan

Starmer: "Because the promise of 40 new hospitals didn't involve 40, didn't involve hospitals, they weren't new and they weren't funded."

[CM Luckhurst @CmLuckhurst]

@AlanMyles8 In my experience, the posted limit is more of a target minimum speed then they add 10-20 mph onto that. So around 40, I'd say.
