Given what Iraq did to Tony Blair's long term reputation, you'd think that Starmer would take a different approach.

Do you know Julian and have you seen any of this work in more conventional form?

Most celebrities at a "minor moment" was at urinals, beside Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmundson & Rowland Rivron. At the BFI Southbank for a Neil Innes retrospective.

I was surprised when I looked it up that we only have 5 active reactors at the moment, with 2 of those to close in 2027.

I heard that DfT had some of the biggest percentage reductions - what have they reduced?

Has the road building budget been reduced? Please say yes.

Battery hybrid trains make sense for rural, less frequent train services.
Not for a major new scheme, even if some of it is old.

Could this week's court loss get this value increased?
BTW it would be helpful if you always use £x over n years (£y per year) to make it easier to compare.

I was hoping that she would say East-West Rail… to be electrified. Sadly not.

Why is charging a bus user not immoral, but charging a car driver immoral?

The press need to start reporting multi-year budgets in a consistent manner, so that they can be compared. I know that some might be front or back loaded, but the way you've done it would be excellent.

As someone who did physics at university, I want to like nuclear, but as you say, the cleanup and long term storage hasn't been resolved. Also the build takes too long, and we've missed years of innovation. Now there's much less need, with renewables and storage being capable of handling most needs.

Excellent news, although Treasury groupthink may mean further delay "The Government is understood to be seeking permission to appeal to the Supreme Court." 😡

I like your 30 years too late comment. The last nuclear reactor to be put online was Hartlepool in 1989. COP 1 was in 1995, and renewables weren't as good then, so we should have been doing nuclear rather than more "dash for gas" in those years.

Yes corporations should be doing regular training and taking any reports seriously.
I've reported a few e.g. driving their van at me whilst I was walking on the pavement.
But I'm not confident about "their manager will discuss it with them".

I don't like the new Guardian layout - way too much white space.

We need more towing of cars that are parked dangerously. Austerity probably reduced council's budgets.

And the tiny church at Upleatham wasn't shown.

We need the full number of railway platforms for it's primary purpose, rather than "over-site development, which will deliver thousands of new homes, offices, life science blocks"

Thank you. I crossed the lakes on the road to the North. I didn't notice the London Loop sign.
Another time.

I did a bike ride to see the HS2 Colne Valley viaduct, but couldn't get a good view I should have checked the best location before hand, most of the lakes along the valley don't have public access.

His good contribution was the, which room would you like to spend an hour in question. The one with an electric car or the one with the combustion engine running?

I really enjoyed the Linescapes book.
I wonder if the new concrete medians are having a bad effect on nature permeability of motorways.

I've seen this mentioned a few times, but can't find info about the changes. Could you add some links and preferably some crash test videos.

These kerbs that they're using in Camden, London are really lovely. They have gaps for water and wheels to use. The cycle lane is also very wide to cope with slower and faster cyclists going up the hill.

Lovely symmetry.

At least it is available. Also most people are comfortable watching sport from BBC Sport streamed via iPlayer, rather than directly on BBC 1 or 2.
