We need every tool in the book to reduce danger on London’s roads and provide viable alternatives to driving with safe crossings, bike lanes, speed limits and a huge culture shift.

The govt is refusing to commit to an inquiry into the MOD's contracts with US-based spy tech giant Palantir despite the web of shady connections between Mandelson, Epstein, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel - this absolutely stinks.

Perhaps our government should follow suit and link with them?

2. The fact that in curling they spend a huge amount of time yelling “Curl!” at each other as though they need to remind each other to play the game.

Dems and Republicans need to get together and abolish the President’s pardon power, or curb it significantly. Or Trump’s going to pardon all of Epstein’s pedophiles.

How do we predict the climate of 2030, 2050 or 2100? We have to interrogate the past. Modern weather records only go back about 150 years. To understand where our planet is heading, we need a longer memory.
