🚨 To combat wildfires, the council is currently cutting grass back to very small levels.
It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but safety must come first.
Remember - do not drop cigarette ends on dry grass. @harrow_council

This gets the RoadTrip 2015 scandal very badly wrong:
- The controversial organiser was called Mark Clarke, not Michael Clarke.
- Clarke did *not* commit suicide - a young man named Elliott Johnson did. Shortly before his death, Johnson accused Clarke of bullying *him*.
Given that an innocent young man died, the very least someone writing about it should do is to get his name right and not mix him up with a person he said was his bully.

🏗️ It could cost £11–40bn to repair Parliament. If finished in 68 years, that counts as "on time."

NEW: Louise Haigh tells @TimesRadio Breakfast that Mayors will not be able to issue tax rebates: “Mayors don't have the ability and won't have the ability under these plans to set income tax rates at a regional level. Those schemes necessitate HMRC to set up full schemes.”

Not to be very right wing for a minute but what the fuck are my taxes paying for if not only can degenerates sit and huff cans of gas and dump them in a town centre, but also the cans are just left to pile up? Complete social degradation, and extremely infuriating

Can we have the Transport Secretary stand on a soapbox on platform 8 at Wimbledon station and tell the increasing (delayed) crowd why @swtrains is better under public ownership

As suspected, I will live and work in the most expensive part of the country, get taxed the most, only for it to go elsewhere with zero benefit to my area.
All the hallmarks of federalism with none of the benefits.
Andy Burnham@andyburnham
I promised to take power out of Westminster. I meant it. For the first time ever, we’re giving Mayors a share of income tax so communities have more control over jobs, transport, housing and public services in their area. I know what it’s like to be ignored by politicians in Westminster. I won’t make that same mistake as Prime Minister.

When they say "trying to save lives", this is the kind of thing they mean:

NEW: Sir Jonathon Porritt, arrested under Terrorism law outside Westminster Magistrates Court. As police escorted him away he said "I am a supporter of Palestine Action, trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our European colleagues and fully support the collective view.
We oppose FIFA’s plans. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football and always will.

The latest leak is that Burnham is planning a new levy on income, charged at 1.8% of earnings above £6,240 and paid by workers over the age of 34, in order to finance a new so-called national care service.
This is an increase in income tax in all but name and clearly would breach Labour's manifesto commitments.
It's truly amazing that Burnham has concluded that despite excessive levels of tax and spending, what the country needs is yet more tax and spending.

Andy Burnham: cost of living is too high I'm putting bus fares back where they were and giving you 50 quid of your energy bills.
Andy Burnham: we can't afford social care I'm adding 600 quid a year to your tax bill because we spend too much.
Give him 6 months. 🤡

Successive governments failed to stop the boats because they were trying to fix the symptoms, not the cause.
If people know they can stay and claim benefits, they’ll keep coming. If they know they’ll be removed, they won’t come.
We must change the incentives.
That’s why the Conservative Borders Plan leaves the ECHR, giving us the power to ban asylum claims from illegal entrants, and remove new arrivals within a week.
That’s why we will make it harder for non-citizens to claim welfare and housing benefits.
And that’s why we will restrict ILR and citizenship.
This is common sense. And this how we will take back control of our borders for good.

Root was the only option for the Test captaincy, there's no way it could have been Brook.
Had they not sacked Pope from the vice-captaincy unnecessarily immediately before the Ashes, we wouldn't be in this position.

@jackellyffc I've heard it argued that Jimenez was both the "Mitro replacement" and the "Mitro backup", both things can't have been true at once.

As has been said already this summer, Fulham have not signed a striker with the intention of being the ‘main man’ up top since the permanent capture of Aleksander Mitrovic in 2018. Raul & Muniz were both signed as Mitro’s understudy. Garcia comes in for a sizeable fee. #FFC

She didn’t ’crash the economy’. That’s a Labour propaganda meme. She did discombobulate the financial markets with a reckless budget, including unfunded tax cuts, which saw yields on UK debt spike. But she wasn’t in power long enough to crash the economy. GDP was untouched by her thankfully brief tenure. And, of course, yields on 10-year gilts are now even higher than when they peaked during the ClusterTruss.

You also crashed the economy
