@BestForBritain Also a Tory saying Labour is wasting too much taxpayer cash?! Would be funny if we weren't having to live with their economic mismanagement.
🎙️"You said he was a fascist and a demagogue."
📞"I did. But that was before he got into power."
British politician outlines the new special relationship with the US where the UK agrees to go along with everything out of pure fear.
Craziest housing stat of the week: The state spends MORE today on housing than it did in 1976.
The key difference: we used to build council houses, now we spend it on subsidising private landlords.
Our housing system is completely broken.
@nicdunz@deedydas How formal was the Japanese? Because the more formal = the more vowels and less info. E.g. "Sorry" at most informal is "Gomen" (or maybe a grunt) at its most formal is "Gomenkudasaimasendeshita". It is fairly normal for the same person's language to have a wide range in one day.
APIs are political! With the new legislation in the US about financial APIs (https://t.co/cY4R3xTO5r) they are currently in the news cycle.
I wonder if @RestIsPolitics would like to talk about them?

@LouHaigh Hi Louise!
Just wanted to say a couple things:
1) You are already a million times better than any Transport Secretary the Tories could muster! Thank you!

(I wonder if you could get @GarethDennis as an adviser?)
@GreenJennyJones There's currently (well, as of June 2023) $2.3 trillion being spent on road construction just in Asia-Pacific. I think between now and 2050 it is likely that the total spend on new roads worldwide would at least equal $275 trillion. And they need to be maintained as well.
The PM's pledge to “cut red tape” is a tired cliché that often means harming environmental standards and workers’ rights. We’ve had fourteen years of successive Conservative governments promising to “cut red tape” - what do we have to show for it?
