I haven’t listened yet. I find Glenny quite irritating.
There’s a large enough back catalogue to keep me going.

Dublin is one of the most unpleasant bike commuting cities i have lived in. Worse than 1990s New York and 2010s Seoul.

Poor Kemi Badenoch is a symptom of the decline in theTory Party. Hapless on Today.

The secret to a better city is a two-wheeler E-bikes get cars off the road and reduce pollutionβ€”and that's only part of why places like Denver are giving them away.

And then there’s the house. She’s got about ten storylines… she will soon need her own miniseries.
Oh the drama!

Will this tee up her departure? It’s the Anguses or me? It didn’t seem to sound like it. But there must be a reason, one assumes, why this was written in. And then there’s Finlay.

Why not when the weather is like this? The usual 40 minute bike poddle along the Mersey turned into a longer trip into town. And nary a car met from my place all the way to the Liver Building and back. 🚲

Are you

- One chicken McNugget short of a Happy Meal?
- Can develop policy without any research that can't withstand 5 minutes scrutiny?

Trump says 'everything's been knocked out in Iran' as he criticises UK and Starmer

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

Trump just makes shit up. In his first term it was mainly an annoyance if you weren’t an American. Now it’s armed cluelessness and killing people for no good reason aside from his vanity.
