There is so much potential for DTLA to be an incredible walkable residential neighborhood especially with access to nearly all metro rail lines to take you throughout the entire region all without a car.

@TonysimmsBK @British_Airways Blame the travellers, people are incapable of following simple instructions at airports

Oh my @British_Airways - once again at Gran Canaria airport your staff seem incapable of ensuring there actually is a Club Europe queue and a Euro Traveller queue.

No, it started because a court somehow concluded that lunch ladies should be paid the same as bin men. The council wanted to cut the pay of the bin men.

@rhysrmann There was an article in the Times last week where they explained how the National Theatre is increasingly relying on rich American donors to keep it afloat because of cuts to arts funding and increase in expenses

We have 9 people working at the firm. I remember when I didn’t think I could pay my mortgage and looked at job postings for in-house gigs. Crazy.

Muslim hate crimes twice as likely to be prosecuted as those against Jews - this disparity needs to be explained as a matter of urgency

The hereditary peers provided a very useful foil for the House of Lords's life peers. Once the dukes and earls are gone, people are going to wonder what the likes of Ann Limb and Matthew Doyle have done to deserve seats in the upper house.

In a similar fashion, if Britain had done what Norway did and created a sovereign wealth fund to invest the earnings from North Sea oil and gas, it would have been spent by Blair and Brown on the NHS within their first term.

If you had invested $10,000 in Amazon stock back in 1999? ....You would have sold it for $600 when it crashed -94% back in 2001.

Remember London’s brilliant turnout to demand “stop killing Iranians” when the regime was massacring them in their tens of thousands?
Yeah, neither do I…

This is complete bullshit
Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City, including for its roughly 1 million Jewish residents.
Reports that his wife liked posts suggesting October 7 was a “mass rape hoax” and promoting “from the river to the sea” are deeply disturbing.
This isn’t some distant figure. She is someone who sleeps in his bed every night and whom he routinely praises in speeches.
I spent time with survivors of October 7 and heard firsthand the stories of murder, sexual assault, torture, and starvation.
There was nothing fictional about those atrocities.
New York Post@nypost
Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed his wife Rama Duwaji isn’t a public figure after facing uproar for her liking social media posts celebrating Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack. trib.al/b6uVcUj

I was using ChatGPT for legal advice and it decided to completely hallucinate some preposterous nonsense about how growing wheat to use on my own farm somehow constitutes interstate commerce

Welfare spending set to rise by £18billion this year to £333billion, before hitting an eye-watering £407billion in 2030/31. Gulp..

I am loathe to defend Dubai Enjoyers™️ but it's interesting how evacuating Afghans, and accommodating them at great cost, is "the right thing to do" but evacuating brits who just want to pay less tax is not.
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 WATCH: Ed Davey says British tax exiles in Dubai should now be made to pay tax in the UK "As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our Armed Forces just like the rest of us do"

What about the thousands of human beings slaughtered by the Iranian regime after protesting? The women confined to their homes? The gay men stoned to death?
Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn
The illegal attack on Iran by Israel and the United States is a catastrophic act of aggression, brutality and escalation. Human beings will pay the price.

To say I’m disappointed in the joint statement by leaders from France, Germany and the UK regarding Operation Epic Fury is an understatement.
It is so sad to see western democracies lose their passion for justice and a sense of right and wrong the further away from their shores the event occurs. Everyone in Europe is rightly impassioned about Russia invading Ukraine. But when it comes to the long suffering people of Iran, Europe has been pathetic.
To the leaders of France, Germany and the UK: the Iranian people are not wrong to demand the end to their oppression from the bloodthirsty ayatollah’s regime that has American and European blood on their hands. You collectively are the ones that are wrong by refusing to come to the Iranian people’s aid and adding insult to injury, you’re suggesting we should continue to negotiate with religious Nazis. It is pathetic. How far Western Europe has fallen.
To the Iranian people: President Trump heard your cries. Help has arrived in large measure.
To our European allies: you have gone pathetically soft and lost your zeal for confronting evil apparently unless it’s on your front porch.
So sad.
