71: Graham Stevens on Ed Davey, Starmer, Gatwick and Oxford Street

Leonie is we gather off to the Labour conference, Mal is away- we consider Starmer and the foment around his leadership in relation to Ed Davey's stunt/personable/ barnstorming at the Lib Denm conference, not least in the light of speculation that the two parties might yet collaborate to fend off Reform( incidentally near theoffice, where Reform have just won a council seat, an old timer was waxing lyrical about Ben Habbib and Advance UK of whom more perhaps next time).Graham the Architect also considers the Gatwick runway go-ahead and the teetering on the brink of pedestrianising the dreaded Oxford Street ( for expats and visitors, two of the potential bottlenecks in your sojourn at the present time)
