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?

"Everything that Tony Blair says about AI is not true!" The former PM has said everyone needs to embrace AI, but @_KarenHao says it's a political project trying to strip agency from everyone, everywhere. @lewis_goodall

Big win for Peckham 🏘️ The Planning Inspectorate has rejected Berkeley Homes’ plans for the Aylesham Centre after campaigning by residents, traders, local organisations and the @ACAPeckham. This victory belongs to the whole community. We need new homes and investment - but development must work for local people, protect Peckham’s character, and deliver genuine long-term benefit, not just luxury flats. Now the conversation turns to what Peckham needs next.

EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham won’t commit to keeping Labour’s manifesto promises on tax and has opened the door to new tax rises if he becomes PM. His decision to back the current fiscal rules wins him a reprieve from markets, but it limits his options to fund policies like council house-building. It raises the prospect of tax hikes. Asked by Bloomberg if he is committed to Labour’s election manifesto pledges not to raise income tax, national insurance, VAT or corporation tax, his campaign declined to say so. They also didn’t rule out new taxes on wealth. Burnham’s spokesperson says he doesn’t want talk about tax policy during this by-election: “Andy is fully focused on working hard for every vote in Makerfield so he can represent them in Parliament. Andy is not standing on a national manifesto at this election; he is standing to make a difference for the people of Makerfield and to bring the change he has delivered in Greater Manchester to the national stage.” Burnham has recently called for the top rate of tax to be hiked to 50p and a council tax reevaluation to target the wealthy. “We have overtaxed labour and undertaxed wealth,” he said last year. But former Jeremy Hunt SpAd Adam Smith says wealth taxes don’t raise sufficient revenue and it is inevitable Burnham will have to look at the big taxes if he is going to implement bolder policies.

LABOUR is trying to get supermarkets to "voluntarily" cap prices on basic food items according to the FT.

It's a fantastic day for residents in Peckham! The Planning Inspector has ruled against Berkley Homes a tiny amount of affordable homes as possible in the heart of Peckham. Building affordable homes, not luxury flats, is the only way we can tackle the housing crisis.

This guys knowledge of very basic economic concepts is frankly embarrassing. In fact, for a man of his education it’s almost unbelievable. I’m very suspicious 🤔

Who the hell is AI Carns? Get real.

Today marks exactly one year since Harriet and I arrived in the UK, and what a year it has been! From trade deals, two visits to the UK from President Trump, including an historic second State Visit, to hosting the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, eight Cabinet secretaries, and a host of senior officials. Throughout it all, I have been working to deliver @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump’s priorities of making Americans safer, stronger, and more prosperous through our work with the UK, while affirming the shared values that bind our countries. As we celebrate 250 years of American independence, I am excited to lead @USAinUK in continuing to build on these strong foundations in the coming year. There is truly no partnership like ours, and I am honored to serve and strengthen it every day as U.S. Ambassador to the UK.
