Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

EXC with @TomCotterillX Sir Keir Starmer is considering delaying or scrapping the Royal Navy’s future class of guided-missile destroyers in his defence investment plan. Multiple sources told @Telegraph that the new class of Type 83s is now at risk because the Treasury has refused to fund the scheme on its existing timetable. The Type 83s were due to enter service between 2035 and 2038 and replace the Type 45 destroyer, one of which is currently deployed to the Middle East. It’s the latest major defence procurement project to face peril in the DIP, alongside the nuclear-capable F-35As, the next-generation fighter jets in the GCAP programme, and Ajax. Ministers will prioritise drone technology and other more pressing concerns over multibillion major projects.

First look at Robert Pattinson as pedophile hunter Chris Hansen in ‘PRIMETIME’. In theaters later this year.

Tesco shouldn't be allowed to rip people off like that, these criminal clubcards should be banned. 1 price in the supermarket only.

This is horrific @coopuk You need to sack this driver… there is no excuse. He knew they were there. I hope you follow through with your findings

Former Starmer enforcer Josh Simons gives up his seat in parliament so Andy Burnham can fight a by election, to return to parliament and displace Starmer as leader. Simons lost his ministerial job over a scandal afflicting the Starmer vanguardist campaigning organisation Labour Together. This is the stuff of Greek tragedy

Palantir and @louismosley can try amd gaslight all as much as they want - the British public wants Palantir out. They will lose. #PalantirOut

We're seeing almost two pubs per week shut due to SNP and Labour policies. It's unsustainable - we need to back our local boozers 🍻 Reform will always back Scotland's hospitality trade 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Mornin’. As the tube drivers are striking again today, as they do pretty much weekly since the dawn of time, I thought @tfl might like to know that the DLR doesn’t have drivers. It’s been running for about forty years and is safe and reliable. Tube trains are the same as DLR trains, so it might help @tfl in their negotiations with the tube drivers to tell them they’re all sacked and a computer is now going to drive the trains. Right, that’s that sorted. Later on I shall sort out the problems with the Strait of Hormuz. But first; coffee.

🚨 NEW: No 10 sources say the public will get to see “angry Starmer” in the Commons later today

Exclusive @TheAthleticFC New Jersey’s NJ Transit this week discussed pricing close to or around $150 for round trip from New York Penn Station to MetLife for World Cup games. Earlier this week, we reported it would be $100 . This is *even* higher. nytimes.com/athletic/7202443…

As I just said on ITV’s News at Ten, ministerial and industry sources say the UK is two or three weeks away from shortages of diesel and jet fuel, though petrol suppliers are healthier. This means Starmer’s new Middle East Response Committee will soon face difficult decisions on how to make sure supplies get to critical users, how to ration more generally and how to price. But, as I mentioned, ministers say supplies and stocks of petrol remain decent, so no need to queue at pumps
