No way man, deanos are STRUGGLING right now: - Interest rates are high (Barretbox and Audi loans expensive) - House prices are flat - Air fuel prices are high (flights to Ibiza) - Minimum wage is high (clubs and pubs)
This is lowkey the one archetype in Britain that’s enjoying life to the fullest with all that’s going on 🤣

Now compare that to the ones that have remained private. This post is purposely misleading.
🚨NEW: All train services that were nationalised by the Labour government have seen their performance plummet It comes alongside ticket prices to use the services remaining the exact same [@thetimes]

After the extraordinary result of last weekend’s Serbian elections - where the Student List came first - supporters continued to clean up Belgrade this week. Excellent!

It takes so long to build stuff that there are now Empire State Building truthers.
Empire State Building. 5 months progress in this photo. Just moronic. If they actually did build it, they wouldn’t need to make ridiculous claims. It is a phenomenal Old World building that we inherited.

We all know Oxford Street is going to be huge success. Let's just hope that @SadiqKhan has the conviction to return Soho to it's COVID glory before he leaves office.

In high school I thought I was so cool because I listened to The Smiths and Joy Division. And then when I grew up, I realized that just meant I was a type of guy. And not even one of the best types of guys either

Peak British NIMBYism. Montenegro cannot have an embassy in Pimlico because the daughter of an American diplomat thinks an embassy beside her place is a breach of the human rights and equality act because of her anxiety disorder and long Covid. 🥀🥀🥀

"Burnham is caught between the cautious pledges of Labour’s thin 2024 manifesto and the necessities of a bleak fiscal outlook. The temptation to seek a fresh mandate for a more ambitious agenda — for a National Social Care service, publicly owned utilities and reindustrialisation-through defence investment — will grow by the day." @DespoticInroad is fast becoming one of the best political columnists around. This is very sharp - and I couldn't agree more. Yesterday likely signals an election next year. unherd.com/2026/10/labours-p…

London currently keeps less tax revenue than almost any other leading G7 city. Good news that more fiscal devolution will allow projects such as the Bakerloo extension to go ahead. arguably.uk/p/set-london-fre…

Great to give London the powers to fund their own Bakerloo extension. @1jamesHowat, @jackshaw and @johnrmyers published a paper last year proposing just this!
Exclusive John Healey is about to hand powers to London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan that allow him to give the Bakerloo Line the green light. Healey also set to refer to Stratford station as an “international” hub, which means cross-Channel trains from East London.

just heard someone say "people are more important than the economy" and it occurred to me that some people genuinely believe that others care about the economy because they like numbers going up and not because it drives living standards for the population
