From the #GuardianUK on #5minutecity

“If you go back in time, when you did city planning, you would say: ‘Where do the roads go? How do the cars get from A to B?’ That was your main priority,” says Riemann. “Then we’d put bike lanes next to the roads, pedestrian areas next to that and so on. Here, we did the opposite. We said: ‘What does a walkable city look like? What do the streets look like? What do people like to experience as they are walking?’” Transport-wise, they started with a new metro line, then cycle routes. “At the end, it was like: ‘OK, so now that we have all this infrastructure for walking, biking and public transit, is there still some room for cars?’”

Apart from when we were attacking Labour under Corbyn of course. But hey, now we see how bad the Tories are, we can definitely recommend drinking the luke warm piss of Starmer. #GuardianUK #TooLate

#GuardianUK talking absolute bollocks as usual. Implying that #bridgerton is an accurate historical drama that is spoilt by its portrayal of #BAME characters is like saying Carry On up the Khyber is let down by not dealing with the Hindu Muslim issue in India. I find this kind of liberal oh-so-clever hand wringing more nauseous than out and out racism in the DM.

‘Why is Bridgerton’s race twisting acceptable?’ The real problem with the show’s Black fantasy

Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte and its imitators have been praised for bringing diversity to the very white world of historical drama. But could these Black fantasies actually be dangerous?

The Tories are on the ropes now – and Labour’s knockout blows are not far away

‘Boring’ Keir Starmer is more radical than you might think, and he’s already bringing home the votes, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee
