Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.

Instagram: "End-to-end encrypted messaging will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026."

I was hoping it would crash into that coach whilst I was filming but no such luck. Still with a driver in case it loses it. I didn't know testing has been approved in London - let alone in one of the most tourist (IE headless chickens) dense parts of the entire world.

@MatthewNewell @ChrisMayLA6 as someone with a relative who's gone through the prison system, its really sad to see that kind of willfully-ignorant dehumanisation.

I’ve read that people skate on the River Thames. What’s it like cycling on the River Thames during the winter? Do you have to dodge ice skaters or Olympian curlers 🥌 ?

Joking, sort of. 😉
