It’s “put” not “but”.
JW3 is on Finchley Road in West Hampstead (which is nowhere near Finchley proper).
How are we expected to take you seriously if you can’t even draft a tweet correctly?
The Met has but in place a designated restriction on protests in the vicinity of JW3, Finchley, today, Sunday, 25 October, as part of the policing operation to prevent intimidation and disruption to the local community.

British or English?
But is that the right question?
Strictly Education explains why it isn’t.

Pretty sure that @RichardGCorbett knows that he is lying here.
We went through this in 2017 - we tried to deport homeless EU citizens, and we're told it was contrary to EU law to do so, as they "have a right to live in another country irrespective of whether they are homeless".
EU Freedom of Movement is NOT an unconditional right under EU law: it is conditional on finding a job or being self-sufficient i.e. not being a burden on taxpayers. Otherwise they have no right to stay.

Alien is how I best remember him.
We remember Tom Skerritt, who has died at 93. As Commander Mike “Viper” Metcalf in Top Gun (1986), he brought quiet authority and humanity to an enduring portrayal of naval aviation. He later returned to a naval role as Captain Bill Rhodes in Tears of the Sun (2003).
An Air Force veteran, Skerritt’s commitment to those who served extended beyond the screen. He co-founded the Red Badge Project, helping veterans find their voices and share their experiences through storytelling.
Our condolences to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.

When I strike it big and get rich, I won’t be telling anyone. But there will be signs.

Does @AngelaRayner realise how misleading this is?
Even if not, good journalists should have figures at hand to correct her & other Govt. ministers trying to imply UK exports to the EU have gone down since Brexit.
In fact total exports to the EU have increased since Brexit.

Reactionary colonels in the Home Counties who wrote to the newspapers half a century ago warning that the Labour Party were a bunch of lunatic Communists who would ruin the country are some of the most vindicated people in history.

There was an Ipsos poll this morning putting Lab on 32%! Maybe an outlier of course but even if it's overshooting by 5pp that's a very substantial recovery.

I am reliably bad at political prediction. Nevertheless, He Persisted: I think the right might be underestimating the effectiveness of Burnham's Man Of The People / subsidising bills etc approach.

When people are this rude all they demonstrate is their insecurity.
The coherent intellectually robust case that wind and solar can supply most of our energy is non-existent so net zero is the most gravely idiotic group think policy since the Euro.

He probably thinks global net zero by 2050 is possible too.
He asserts that for the UK (presumably) by 2030 '80% of electricity generation will be renewables'
Given that obviously doesn't include nuclear, to call it delusional is an under statement.
I bet there's a lot of things you wonder about champ.🤡
By 2030, biomass subsidy will be minimal, electricity generation will begin to reduce from 2027.
As the UK expands its clean energy storage and grid, 2027–2031 is viewed as a phase-out period for biomass dependency.

I couldn't care less. She's a one term MP who embarrassingly thinks our job is to sell dildos for John Lewis.

A quote from @FUDdaily which I think well worth extracting from its longer context :
“What we can say is that nothing is going to improve any time soon. We can’t have cheap energy because the government has decided against it. We can’t have functioning borders because the government has decided against it. We can’t have decent paying jobs because the government has decided against it. We can’t have safe communities because the government has decided against it. We can’t have viable armed forces because the government has decided against it. I struggle to think of any major problem afflicting this country that isn’t a conscious choice of the people who rule us.”
Yet, if there is a general election next May, as many predict, the government might get re-elected after years of immigration and welfare-led gerrymandering.
Welcome to the end of the world, as someone once sang.

Douglas Alexander is probably the last remaining sane male in the government.
You can tell that Douglas Alexander wants to break free from the straitjacket of energy idealism. He's been putting out a series of sound messages recently. If only Labour had stuck to Malcolm Wicks' realism, we'd be in a better shape today.

Did you know that Charles Darwin visited the Falkland Islands twice, first in 1833 and then in 1834? Today I visited Down House, Darwin's home in Kent. #Darwin 🇫🇰🇬🇧

I keep seeing horrendous stories of people being executed in Iran but from accounts I don't know and not sure I can trust. Is there a reliable outlet for the situation?
For Christian persecution the place to go is @OpenDoorsUK and @acn_uk
