they should keep making headlights brighter until all anyone can see is headlights

The idea that a new runway at Heathrow will save a lot of fuel by preventing planes from circling is naive in the extreme. It will stimulate more flights and they will cater for stag parties in Prague and holidays in Portugal! Circling is a v small proportion of fuel use

As Reform cones top in a poll for first time, Labour has to show it has things to offer rather than being constantly looking over its shoulder at the right wing press

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.
