Virtually every time I go out knocking on doors now, someone declares "I hate this country" and you can instantly see they are someone who spends most of their time alone indoors and just isn't really integrated with society anymore.

*sound on* This is Andrea Jenkyns's ACTUAL singing entrance to the Reform UK conference.

Crazy. 4 years after the initial rejected proposal, planning committee goes against officers’ advice on the revised, reduced application. The site remains a Travis Perkins blocking the towpath in the shadow of the Westway. Could be 830 student rooms by now.

Screenshot from the 1951 film β€˜High Treason’. Taken on Lambeth Bridge, the building in the background is the drab Lambeth Bridge House, with Lambeth Palace out of shot on left. In the 1990’s it was replaced by the swirly Parliament View flats.
