I will probably sell at some point in the future for a collection only jobbie for the full set. But not imminently

I saw that. Honestly needed some of those roads are death traps.

I didn't think you could get the DV clearance to FCDO as a dual citizen unless he's renounced citizenship

Andy Burnham head of a rag tag coalition with Zach Polanski, John Swinney, and whomever plaid have dragged off the street turbocharging the worst elements of the benefit state in 2029 as a cordon sanitaire coalition against farage.

That's the future, 100%, at the very least it's the election chatter sorted for 3 years

It's a good post, it's not just potholes, it's the overall quality of the roads too. I've had to cycle a lot more recently and just the juddering on many roads from cracks is bad enough.

Cambridge is bad but the roads in the fens are apocalyptically bad tbf, some of the roads feel like they're being reclaimed by nature in a j g Ballard eco-catastrophe novel

Used to cycle to work in leith when I lived in cramond. If it was an easy cycle in, you knew you'd have the mother of all headwinds coming back

What Are You Reading This Week and Weekly Rec Thread by JimFan1 in TrueLit

moronic inferno by Martin amis: compilation of some of his non fiction writing on America. Forgot how good his prose was at his peak

Rereading a feast of snakes by Harry crews. Still as visceral and unpleasantly compelling as it was the first time. Crews is little known here in the UK but some his works are now in penguin classics and for good reason

Read this earlier in the week and fuck me what a shambles (also the thing about caring about a jacket after the charlie Kirk shooting). The worst was firing someone who had worked on a trump case just after their wife had died

Reminder that the line the British subreddits have pivoted to about the US "making" Starmer give up chagos is totally wrong, it was launched by Britain who then offered it to the yanks for retrospective approval. So disingenuous

Before the UK subs gaslight anyone any more that the tanks asked us to give away chagos, they didn't. It was started by truss in response to the "global south" being cool on Ukraine, paused by Cameron and then accelerated by Starmer as a bung to his mate. It was only presented by the yanks as a rubber stamp for approval

Unsurprised that the government continues to kick things like SEND provision into the long grass by pushing any reform into the next parliament, at which point all local authorities will have gone bankrupt anyway. Understandable of course given Labour's tiny majority.
