Leeds trams update

When Tekashi 6ix9ine, the rapper and former gang member, finished serving a three-month sentence at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, he left carrying a peculiar souvenir. He showed it off to two friends who were waiting outside the jail to collect him: it was a homemade SpongeBob SquarePants figurine with a jagged series of lines—not unlike a heartbeat monitor, or a mountain range—scribbled on it. This was, 6ix9ine explained, the autograph of Nicolás Maduro, the President of Venezuela. The signature was also dated, in Spanish, “2.º Abril.” “Look, one of one,” 6ix9ine said, holding up the SpongeBob, which, he later explained, another inmate had meticulously crafted, folding six hundred pieces of paper and sewing them together, over the course of two weeks. “Maduro signed it,” he said, proudly, before adding, “Venezuela forever.”

Wait, so that Cody Dahler bloke is actually releasing a book called "The State of This!: A Thicky Thicky Dumb Dumb's Guide to British Politics"

We are actually still allowing books with those sorts of names to be published? Over half way into the 2020s?

Can't speak for Barnet but yeah I cant imagine that a combined LD/Green effort won't knock Labour out in Camden.

It didn't have go be this way. The tragedy of it was that people voted for the guy who helped take on McDonald's. He didn't need to be perfect, just not... this

And it's no-one's fault but his. He destroyed all good will from everyone. For what?

Donald Trump, who has been talking about going to war with Iran since Jimmy Carter was in office, is out here insisting that he wanted to go to war with Iran all by himself and this website remains full of people who insist that, no, it must have been Israel.

Between this and politicians the other side of the Atlantic, I'm honestly amazed by how little decorum the current political class seem to have. Every day they seem to say things that would have got me in very big trouble with my parents had I said them as a child.
