Dear Mr Farage, you stated during the Brexit campaign that we, bloody forrins, were responsible for traffic jams on British roads.
As it happens, I mostly work from home but you're against this now.
So, what do you prefer, me working from home, and being "less productive" or causing jams?

The government has abandoned plans to delay 30 council elections in England following legal advice.
Local Government Secretary Steve Reed had approved delays for the ballots for the councils until 2027 to help deliver a major reorganisation which will see some local authorities abolished.

The standing ovation that greeted US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's nonetheless contentious speech on Saturday, February 14, at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, was short-lived. It soon became clear that the tribute was not unanimous.

In substance, Rubio's message in Munich was the same as Vance's
