I haven't been in years, but the heat from the lights used to be incredibly intense, which was appreciated on a freezing November night.

Starmer will be case study in future of throwing away huge oppurtunity and goodwill in a completely unforced manner.
Before becoming Leader he seemed a lot less robotic, paralysed by inaction and farnkly clueless.

Driving isn't taken nearly near seriously enough.
