This is untrue on most major issues (though the media eıite don't know this). It is untrue on immigration in particular. Untrue on climate, on Trump, on human rights, on inciting racism. And much else

This is a great thread, worth reading in entirety.
An unofficial conversation is thus had (with Gold's knowledge but not COBRA's) between the Mayor, Kiley, and the then head of surface transport, Sir (now Lord) Peter Hendy.

KILEY: If we ask them, the drivers will come, right?
HENDY: This is THEIR city. Of course they fucking will. /9

Saturday morning, waking up, having breakfast and watching a #Lions match with the kids. Definitely a routine I could get used to!

Fantastic cricket win by #England. Superb test match with #India. But to knock that target off and not be bowled out in some horrendous collapse really is something!
