You going to seize the luxury flats in the Shard and all over London are you bought by the International business as safety deposit boxes. Thousands of purpise built apartments were bought purposefully not to house people in.

📚 Au Japon, des gens vont désormais en boîte de nuit… pour s’asseoir silencieusement et lire un livre pendant qu’un DJ joue de la musique d'ambience. Le concept s’appelle JUCY BOOK RAVE et se déroule notamment dans un club souterrain de Shimokitazawa, à Tokyo. Ici, pas besoin de danser ni de hurler pour parler à la personne située à 30 centimètres de vous. Les participants viennent avec un livre, s’installent dans la pénombre et lisent pendant que la musique accompagne leur soirée.

Not Sure why @reading_buses needs to be told their buses are full with passengers, sure contactless tapping tells them loads of passenger metrics?

Former Help to Buy victim speaks out.

Why are they forcing young people into new build houses? Why are their schemes never helping us to buy old houses or 1930s semi-detached? I’ll tell you why…it’s all to fill them and their mates pockets with huge profits. It’s never been about helping young people 🏡

Calling all U13 Girl footballers! The last few spots on our Brentford Youth Development Programme are up for grabs.

Really bizarre that the £25,323 a year benefits cap doesn’t apply if you work 16 hours a week. I understand (though think it’s poorly designed) not reducing people’s benefits if they start work, but why should working make them eligible for MORE bennies? Usually the more you earn the LESS welfare you get, not more.

Diagnosed with ADHD by the NHS in Northern Ireland. Treated by the NHS for twenty years. Stable treatment plan with medication for 15 years by the NHS. 15 years of medical records of that care plan by the NHS. Yet my GP in England says this isn't enough evidence to prescribe my ADHD medication, and they can't do anything about it, apart from apologise for the inconvenience. Someone please help me make it make sense because I'm lost at this point.

🚨 DRIVERS ARE ALREADY CUTTING BACK UK fuel sales fell 1.3% in August as prices rose sharply. The ONS says motorists are partially filling their tanks as higher prices bite. The oil shock is already squeezin household budgets and reducing demand. We should NOT be increasing interest rates on top of this. Higher rates won't produce more oil or bring down global energy prices. They will just give households another bill to pay. Higher fuel costs. Higher mortgage costs. Don't hit families twice

Elizabeth line should be extended from Terminal 5 along a southbound curve towards a new west-facing bay platform at Staines Would require only a relatively short tunnel and would massively improve access to Heathrow from Windsor, Woking, Guildford etc via interchange at Staines
