Is this the best widely-sold lager available in Britain? I believe it might be.

@AlexanderEhmann Not true though is it. They ask once if you want to sign a petition. So irresponsible to promote this.

@TheAthleticFC All this talk about VAR, but really it is PSR ruining football. Without PSR, we could be in an unprecedented era of middle-weight challengers to the established “top 6”. It has wrecked ambition in this sport.

Newcastle United sold St James' Park to themselves. 🔲 Arrangement led to first profit since Saudi-led takeover 🔲 Joined Big Six in topping £100m of annual commercial revenue 🔲 Operating loss hit a club record £109.4m Newcastle's 2024-25 filings show that ownership of the stadium and adjacent land now belongs to another PIF-owned company. @CWeatherspoon_ and @ChrisDHWaugh analyse what it all means. nytimes.com/athletic/71576…

@Macawber4 @Telegraph Thanks for agreeing. Key workers and ambulances could get about far faster if there were fewer cars on the road.

🚖 Black cab drivers say road restrictions, LTNs and 20mph limits are turning London into an impossible place to work, with some quitting the trade altogether So what is currently the fastest means to get around in the capital, walking or taking a taxi? We've put this to the test, and unpacked all the reasons the taxi drivers might be struggling here ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

@OliDugmore Rory Stewart, bless him, would be miles out of his depth as PM. His political judgment (Kamala Harris) is not the best.

“Rory Stewart is the best prime minister we never had.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read that sentence, in my texts, in comments sections, after our interviews. Over the last 10 years he’s spoken to me as a Tory leadership contender, Covid canary in the coal mine, independent London mayoral candidate, or, as in this instance, a podcaster and author. His brand of conscientious conservatism beguiles the significant part of our country that is relatively normal and looked on in horror/confusion as the right wing actively attacked Britain and/or descended into explicit bigotry, parochialism, and conspiracy. We spoke about political evil and how it’s often fun to be so, boarding schools, and whether or not we should rewild wolves in Britain. Eclectic and thoughtful. Performative and precise. I think it’s the best episode of The Exchange so far, but it’s Yanis Varoufakis next week and that was pretty good too. Subscribe, listen in bio, text me about alternate realities. xx @RoryStewartUK @NewStatesman

@robprogressive It’s great. Keep cars out of London. Plenty of other ways to get about.

If you go into central London, it costs you £15 congestion charge If you drop someone off at the airport, it costs you £7 drop off fee If you visit someone in hospital it’s £4/hr to park there If you go to a new city you get a toll, & if you stay 5 mins over you get a fine You literally can’t go anywhere in your car without being charged But you’ve already been taxed in your earnings, then taxed your car, so what’s going on with all these hidden costs?

@yimbyalliance Really keen for new homes but if these looks anything like the developments already around Acton Town and Bollo Lane it’s going to leave the area empty and soulless.

The arson attack on Jewish volunteer ambulances in Golders Green was absolutely shocking but that attack in no way justifies members of the Jewish community there harassing and abusing journalists trying to do their jobs.

@ApsanaBegumMP It’s embarrassing that we have elected MPs that don’t know how our political system works.

Defensive or offensive military action is still military action. As I said when the news emerged of Iran being attacked weeks ago, any involvement of the UK in Iran, must be decided through votes in Parliament:

‘If they did it in one swoop, there would have been an uproar.’ Former Top Gear presenter Steve Berry criticises the trial of London’s ‘no flash’ speed cameras, saying that instead of enforcing speed limits, they catch out people who are new to the area.

@_Wilsonpilled_ 100%. As a 30 y/o Londoner, some stakeholders probably look at me as an ideal buyer, but I’d just never consider one of these new builds. They all feel like scams.

It’s the service charge and the leasehold system, that’s it. Nobody actually gives a fuck about how they look and the average Twitter YIMBY aren’t the people buying flats in Nine Elms or Canary Wharf or even Royal Arsenal
Philip Oldfield@SustainableTall

London has built lots of flats…but few people want to buy them Since 2014, some 20,000 flats have been completed in Wandsworth. But nearly 40% of modern flats there have sold at a loss in the last 5 years archive.is/A3rfy

@AlexanderEhmann @LBRUT Could you please explain how I can now commute from Ealing to Richmond on one e-bike? Forest’s non-compliance has got it banned from Ealing. Are your actions not another example of siloed thinking after you criticised Hounslow from doing exactly that?

@AlexanderEhmann @LBRUT Councils just should not be empowered to limit transport options. Time and again your siloed thinking and desperation to balance your books leave London residents worse off. A broken system not fit for purpose.

@AlexanderEhmann @LBRUT Me again! Forest bikes have also been removed from Ealing just last week as the worst-performing, least compliant provider. I genuinely would respect it more if you said you’ve just gone for the money and e-bike riders can get stuffed.

@AlexanderEhmann @LBRUT Oh, and the Forest app is absolutely horrific. I really tried to give them a go but compared to Lime they are just absolute amateurs. Bad app, bad bikes, bad coverage.

@AlexanderEhmann @LBRUT Forest is more expensive and has worse bikes. It’s just a fact. You’ve gone for the money and left e-bike users worse off. A council has, for the second time in a year, completely arbitrarily banned my commute.
