Graphic footage, with little narration, from major French TV channel of the appalling violence, destruction, anarchy in the centre of Paris last Saturday. Worth watching from beginning to end.
The French Left/Unions demanding resignations at the channel because it only depicts violence and doesn’t provide ‘context’!

@guyadams Sorry- the Chief Funding Director and the DEI guy do. Quelle surprise!

@guyadams Interestingly none of them have their pronouns on their Linkedin profiles...

Andy Burnham has announced that the No 54 bus to Ancoats is running 10 minutes late.

EXCL: HMV is being forced out of its Oxford Street flagship store after its landlord doubled the rent.

For @_TheLondoner I found out it's owned by the family of a billionaire Chinese "king of mahjong" who will turn it into a viral immersive gift shop.

@DPJHodges Since July 2024 the Tories have outperformed Reform in elections in inner London so this is hardly a momentous result

@KeithMillsD7 If Spain gets a new government at the end of November would they still have time to confirm participation for next year?

London has already slipped from #1 to #2 globally for premium air-passenger arrivals, overtaken by New York, while Beijing and Shanghai have surged into the top five.

If UK were serious re growth, it would be expanding its ability to compete, not *endlessly* questioning it

Quite frankly the silence from Olly Murs on the Nagorno-Karabakh contlict is becoming deafening

Europe's longest train journey - with reopening of Haparanda, Sweden to Tornio, Finland it's now 6,203km Kemijärvi, Finland to Lagos, southern Portugal.
Rail expert Jon Worth has just done it in a speedy 125 hours & 31 minutes....

Andy Burnham collects dog poo for selfless non PR reasons. What a guy.

@IdentEveryHour Absolute classic

One of the biggest British TV stars in the 70s and 80s and then virtually forgotten at the time of his death.

@sycliks @SeanM1997 Get the government to reduce our ridiculous long haul passenger taxes

[Nimesh Shah @nimshah14]

Good to see Harry and Meghan achieve 6 full tax years of non-UK residency to manage the “temporary non-resident” rules for capital gains tax 😬

They have clearly had some good tax advice and the timing of their move back to the UK is immaculate 👌

@UKDecline Brick Lane has a particular problem with graffiti. Was walking through it on a summers evening a few years back when a middle aged white guy was openly spraying a wall. I wanted to shout at him to stop but my partner told me not to- the local police need to clamp down hard on

Our local classic rock station got sold and is being replaced by a Christian Contemporary station and I'm enjoying the shade in their final hour of programming before the switchover.

@Wayne_Dixon Life sentences have have got progressively longer over recent decades. In the 1970s you would typically only serve 9 to 11 years before being paroled. Even when we had the death penalty, prisoners who were reprieved rarely served more than 15 years

[Neil McGill @mcg1973]

@NotThatBigIan Why not change the law so that all decisions regarding early release are made by the Home Secretary? Seem to recall this was how is was done before the 1990s
