It's hilarious to me that London could've had a suspended monorail (like Wuppertal in Germany). The article features a delightful list of urban megaprojects around the world that weren't built in the end. Source: buff.ly/MPm8CH5
I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic
Mis-read that as Archers:Doomsday and now I can’t stop thinking what that would be like
And a new one brewing too. This really is wonderful stuff and I recommend it to the house
PM Carney - "There are some who say there's no need for a comprehensive plan. They believe we should wait it out in the hope that the United States will return to normal. That the good old days will come back. But hope isn't a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy." #cdnpoli

The incomprehensible shrieking noise I just made… omfg it’s back!! I love this show so much, and the Aldrich Kemp series, they’re so so good. If you haven’t listened to them, now’s the time. If you HAVE listened to them, well now’s the time to listen again
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Who’s the Satirique party? They sound fun
“Exciting” possibility of RN and MN trying to guarantee freedom of navigation against USN blockade!

Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave.
Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers.
