A symptom of petrol prices being too low? (Even!) Chaps riding motorbikes/driving cars with unlawfully-modified engines that generate noise in breach of noise limits. Many a sunny evening is ruined. 🤬🤬. Why are current enforcement measures so ineffective? No resources? Penalties not a deterrent?

I keep reading this from O'Brien and still can't believe it. The idea that Britain in 2025 must have a 'traditional majority culture' that is 'white British' is just so sad. O'Brien is my age, he grew up in a country with nonwhite comedians, sports stars, newscasters. But apparently they don't count

Kemi Badenoch has attributed a terrible tragedy to a series of gut instincts and ideological prejudices that have no basis in fact, which is what happens when you choose a second rate culture warrior instead of a leader to run a political party. Dismally shallow.

An actually insane position. Brexit has brought nothing but economic harm to the UK and the more it perpetuates because of some fantasy thinking that somehow that harm will go away, the worse we'll all be for it. Labour don't need to refight bad faith Brexit arguments; just re-align.
