@MrCladding @HenryPryor @HMLandRegistry Z1-3 family homes in London. I imagine it’s a big mental hump for sellers, e.g. goes on for £1.3m and after 7 months, £1m is as low as they’ll go.

@HenryPryor @HMLandRegistry Interesting that there is a peak at £1M

Interesting from @HMLandRegistry - the distribution of housing transactions in England for Q2 (April to June) 2025.

We're giving an extra grant of £5.54m to North Somerset Council to help save #BirnbeckPier, Weston-super-Mare.
This extra funding, alongside our initial £10m commitment made last year, will allow the project to proceed to save this historic site

@rcolvile It actually looks to be the fastest option. Even if you only keep the trains, it’s still about 7 hours to Geneva, followed by a not insignificant cab ride to the resort.

Me: We should stop expecting politicians to live on bread and water when they’re doing vital national business
Also me: How the hell do you end up taking a 362-mile taxi ride

@jamesrbuk @jimsciutto Going from "Make America Great Again" to "no American needs more shoes" in a couple of months is kind of wild.
English
@jimsciutto Also remember what happened when Democratic Party supporters / generally left coded people tried telling Americans to consume less for climate reasons – and the reaction that provoked from the right.
English
What you’re missing is this is not just about shoes. It’s about cars, TVs, some medicines (Denmark makes Ozempic), furniture, you name it. Prepare to pay more for most everything. Or are you suggesting nationwide austerity?
Bandit-Red-One@ClydeBandit
NO AMERICAN NEEDS MORE SHOES! - We're gonna be fine The average American owns approximately 12 pairs of shoes. Average Ownership: A survey by KURU Footwear found that Americans own an average of 12 pairs of shoes. Annual Spending: KURU Footwear also found that Americans spend an average of $240 each year on footwear and buy four pairs of shoes annually. Lifetime Spending: The survey estimates that Americans will spend $14,640 and own 256 total pairs of shoes by the end of their lives.

@RDPHistory Has there ever been an assessment as to whether the Royal Marines could have repelled the invasion or, given available weapons, ammunition and incoming forces, would it have ultimately been futile?

April 2nd 1982: The Royal Marines throw down their weapons, bending barrels and taking out firing pins before marching out of Government House. Many are annoyed that a battle they are winning has been called off, but Hunt has agreed to the ceasefire to save civilian lives...

@s8mb The Gospel Oak to Barking Line was always nicknamed Goblin and it feels like a real missed opportunity to ignore that.
English
Every single one of these is skin-crawlingly bad. It's not just that the specific ideas are cringey (The Sunflower Line, named after the lanyards, is brilliant though), it's inherently naff to name a train line after "some good thing" instead of some facet of geography.

@RichardWellings The picture is Keynsham, Somerset, a town of 20,000 people with one 200m bike lane. This terrifies Richard.

Across the UK vast amounts of road space are being taken from motorists to make way for cycle lanes, which are typically hardly used. The underlying objective is to reduce people's mobility by pushing them out of cars. birminghammail.co.uk/motoring/motor…

@jamesrbuk I do find it quite funny that the first half of the bands in my borough would today buy you a parking space, maybe - if you were lucky - a leaking asbestos riddled garage.

Let’s leave aside actually reforming the structure of council tax.
It is absolutely *astounding* that in 2025 we have a tax based on home values in *1991*. That’s 34 years of governments who won’t even just do a basic revaluation. It’s just outrageous political cowardice.
Paul Johnson@PJTheEconomist
Another scandal that govts of all colours have lacked courage to tackle. Council tax is outdated, regressive, and grossly unfair to those living in poorer regions and in cheaper properties. It needs updating and making proportional to current value thetimes.com/article/642218…

@driverbod125 @char1iewatts Reinstating the trams would be perfect.

@char1iewatts Footfall across that area would now make them impractical, I suspect.
Reinstating the River Frome, on the other hand, would be perfect.

The faulty fountains in Bristol city centre have been fenced off as work starts to remove them. Surely the most obvious thing to do now is replace them with the green and flowerbeds like we had in the 60s

Manor Road, a rural lane which runs parallel to Montague Road in Saltford, has been closed to motor vehicles.
The narrow single track lane has very few passing places and is frequently used by pedestrians, equestrians and cyclists who will now benefit from increased safety 👍
