george washington really crossed a river, fought the british, and then decided the biggest threat to america was the english language.
“we’ll call it a dozen, but only for 12. hamburger has no ham. buffalo wings have no buffalo. and nobody is allowed to ask what’s in a hot dog.”
bro founded a country and immediately made a language-learning app necessary.

Day one of a traffic-free Oxford Street. The traffic hasn't vanished: 200 more cars at rush hour in the side streets, on the Mayor's own modelling. Paul Fisher (@PaulEFishr) on Times Radio. #WestminsterMatters #Westminster #CityThatWorksForAll

Please Khan don’t give me ‘teething problems’…..you have been planning this for 6 /7 years. How could you fuck it up so badly day one ?

Oxford Street a complete mess. Looks like Eastern Europe before the Wall fell. No access for disabled people & I might be able to walk from the circus to Selfridges , but many people can’t. Another Disgrace from our useless Mayor.

Gosh that is embarrassing 😳
It seems to have been a struggle to find volunteers to fill the room for Reform UK’s pre-Budget announcement today. Watch now on @GBNEWS.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements.
"A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party. We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…

Lots of empty seats at this Reform press conference
Pretty much entire audience (except journalists) has been moved behind the stage and even that stand isn’t full
At least one party aide is filling it out

Wes Streeting caved in to the trade unions as Health Seretary.
This is the result: despite taxpayer-funded pay rises, the strikes are continuing.
Only the Conservatives will ban doctors' strikes and put patients and taxpayers first.

A calmer start to the week from the ten-year of France as it declines to 4.99% this morning.

A former Reform UK election candidate has condemned the “neurotic, controlling and closed-minded culture in the party” after Amanda Bland condemned the toxic culture for women which feels like “a coercively controlled relationship”.

But he wants to re-open the biggest squabble this country has had in a century. Maybe @polcurrency were right with their Burnham foot in mouth point last week? Either he doesn’t think before he speaks or, worse, he doesn’t read the agreed lines.
Andy Burnham insists he has ruled out an early election on @GMB
‘I don’t think people want another backward looking squabble. They want me to get on with the job’

It’s certainly possible ditching the triple lock won’t harm Labour. It’s also possible voters haven’t paid any real attention to any of Burnham’s commitments yet & if a snap election was to be called a GE campaign will be more impactful on where we end up than many assume.
