One week on, Oxford Street is already showing what a traffic-free future can look like.
Some businesses are already reporting huge surges in both footfall and sales.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

The problem with the new Tory IHT proposal is immediately obvious to lots of people - it's a shame the Tories didn't spot it.
I really like Kemi Badenoch, but today’s proposal on inheritance tax makes no sense to me.
If your principal private residence is completely free of IHT when passed to your children, it creates a huge incentive to maximise the amount of wealth tied up in your home.
Why invest in AIM shares, private companies or other productive assets and potentially pay IHT, when you can put the money into a bigger house and pass it on tax-free?
Tax policy should encourage investment in productive assets, not create an even bigger incentive to pour wealth into residential property.
Almost dream like happenings….

Absolutely majestic now that the cars that damaged it beyond repair are gone. Long may it remain open to pedestrians and cyclists, and closed to cars.
Despite the rumours, I can confirm that Hammersmith bridge is most definitely open #hammersmithbridge #london #hammersmith
