This is *excellent* forensic journalism by The Times: clear explanation using video evidence. This is the best of Times journalism.

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Parking on the pavement in London has been illegal for 52 years and in the rest of the UK it's just a fact of life. Central government just opted against a blanket national ban. Anyway here's an excellent advert from when it was banned in London: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8Yg...

The problem with using ULEZ as an attack line in the upcoming mayoral elections is that it's already in operation.
Anyone who doesn't have to pay it can't be fooled into thinking that they might have to this time - they'll know that they don't.
Leaves you with a minority who'd actually be swayed.

Looking at trains to the Peak District yesterday, decided we'd wait until today since it's the start of the Rail Sale... they've gone up by £10.

The Netherlands seems like the perfect country
