Sometimes I honestly cannot believe the government is seriously proposing people could be convicted and sent to prison for TWO YEARS (two years?!?) by the Magistrates’ Court with the automatic right of appeal safeguard removed. You read direct research like this 👇🏼 and shudder.

@Telegraph Thousands of pedestrians in that video. Surely some of their pavement could be converted into a taxi superhighway.

🚖 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…

A sign outside a bar displaying drink prices in Leicester Square on January 21, 2005, London, England. The government have announced, that the drinks industry will pay towards policing town centres when 24 hr licencing is introduced in the UK later this year (2005)

@LDNcabbieTXE Would you grass the cyclist up if you could? Lime bike riders are even worse than average cyclists. He didn't drive into the back of anyone though.

@The_TUC @MikeyCycling @CWUnews @DaveWardGS It was privatised 13 years ago for 3.3bn and dividends have yielded 600m. £46m dividends/year from a £3300m business is a 200 p/e ratio. Somebody must regret buying it.

Royal Mail gave away almost £600 million to shareholder dividends and buyback schemes, instead of investing in the service. This is the cost of privatisation. @CWUnews @DaveWardGS

When someone says “Harry Potter” the first person anyone thinks about is Daniel Radcliffe. We all know this and it probably makes JK Rowling seethe.

@funderboltz Motorist was passing a parked vehicle, low sun glare limiting his vision may not have seen the cyclist until the last minute.

@funderboltz @g__j @OctopusEnergy Nope. But as you don't know the facts and you’ve jumped in feet first, you obviously don't need me to explain to you! People like you....idiot!

Very crafty by @OctopusEnergy to increase their Fixed rate deals for IOG before they email their Variable Rate customers of their new rates. I asked them about fixing the other day (5.45p) and was told to wait for my variable deal. It came through at 5.2p but fixed is now 8p!

She’d have a much harder time in the UK. Our local gas station has diesel at 69.9pence per litre. If my maths is right, that’s over $10 a gallon. Why? Tax, that’s why ….
Tony Lane 🇺🇸@TonyLaneNV

A woman is freaking out over gas prices, saying she just started her new trucking business. Is this real concern… or just theatrics? Prices were definitely higher under the previous administration. Have you noticed a major increase lately? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

During price change periods a team of people work astonishingly long hours, trying to keep prices as low as possible (I know - I send them back time and again to deliver the best value possible). It’s hard enough at the best of times but right now costs are very high - and swinging wildy. Even if we wanted to time stuff to be sneaky we couldn’t. Reality is it’s a load of people brutalising themselves to try to give customers the best we can against the backdrop of a maelstrom

Just tried to watch the first episode of SNL UK. Now I understand how British viewers must have felt when they first stumbled upon the US version of The Office.

@SecretHMCTS Lavender Hill is one of the better ones. Antonio, the manager at Wimbledon thinks he's a secret agent protecting the world from terrorists armed with James Bond style espionage gadgets.

If you thought security at Wimbledon and Lavender Hill traffic court was oppressive then take a trip to the rarely-visited Ealing Magistrates' Court, where last week I was asked to remove my mobile phone from its case because I may have secreted a thin blade behind it.

My friend tried to withdraw £20k from his high street bank & their response was shocking For 30 years he’s has been a loyal customer of this major bank He called to withdraw the money & they said no, you have to come into the branch He went into the branch & asked asked to withdraw the £20k and they asked 'what it’s for'? He said ’none of your business, it’s my money’ They said ‘unless you can tell us exactly what the money is for, you cannot withdraw it' This should shock & terrify you, because your own money isn’t even yours anymore

Britain has paid Norway over £100 billion for gas since 2021. For gas they’re drilling in the North Sea, the same sea Ed Miliband has banned new drilling in on the British side. Madness.
