I see that Khan and Labour are now conspiring to pedestrianise Oxford Street, making the area more pleasant for the majority of people and reducing harmful emissions. How awful of them.

And when it's pedestrianised, you'll be able to walk freely to generic chain stores that you find on every other high street up and down the country too.

Is one heckler chaos? I thought it was tradition at a Labour conference to have at least one cranked-up loon going OFF.

The fact they didn't actually take any votes off the Tories - which was ignored by so many people banging the drum for 5D chess playing SirKieth - already coming home to roost within 3 months. Incredible scenes.

It's all gone to sh!t but don't worry if you are a tax dodger you can still bribe Labour. Anyone know what you get for 4 million big ones in these inflationary times?
