Trump thinks the BBC used some sort of AI to invent him saying stuff he didn’t say, he is not a well man, he’s not able to tell the difference between what is real and what is not

What if Thames Water aren’t always the baddies when it comes to sewage in London rivers? It’s hard to comprehend, so in April I challenged @rachel-rees.bsky.social to find a single example of a misconnection and chase it to the Thames. It became an epic quest: www.londoncentric.media/p/misconnect...

I think my favourite document from yesterday's visit to the Network Rail archive was this 1553 deed, written in Latin, for land that eventually became railway land... Being contemporary with the first railways being built in Britain gives it a fascinating further significance.

Unlike what Trump says, Sadiq Khan did actually win three times
Asked repeatedly about Donald Trump calling Sadiq Khan "disgusting" and suggesting that he was only elected because of immigrants, Keir Starmer's spokesman says only that the PM has a "strong relationship" with the President which has "yielded positive results for this country"
