Looks like it will be a trick afternoon to work what with the road closures in Knightsbridge and Kensington.

The lack of new sales is helping fleets rent inventory that has been against the wall for months. For the first time this year, we will be fully rented, with only a handful of cabs still to rent. Not sure what the kipper will bring but for now definite signs of improvement.

Not content with robbing Pensioners of winter fuel allowance now Labour are also targeting single Pensioners for higher council tax by removing their discount. Will be asking questions of what Westminster City Council will be doing to fight these proposals. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

‼️THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED IN AT LEAST 35 YEARS‼️ The spread between the 2-year US government bonds and Fed's rates FELL to -1.686%, the most in over 3 decades. In other words, bond market expects the Fed to cut BIG in the next months. The Fed is behind the curve as never before.

NEW: We put 7 Uber & Lyft drivers in one room and had them open their apps. We found Uber paying different drivers different amounts for the same ride. Lyft too. It’s proof corporations are using secret algorithms to pay workers less. And all of our jobs could be next.

🇬🇧🗳️ Seems an appropriate time to repost the below tweet from Kier Starmer. Today at 2 PM, Keir Starmer's Labour Party is set to vote on removing the Winter Fuel Allowance for around 10 million pensioners. They claim it's to save the economy, but let's call it what it is: a

Perry Richardson Over last 6 years, we have lost 800-1000 drivers. This licensing anomaly means that more drivers than usual will fall into the next year & following year, probably caused by covid. Because there are 30% more drivers' to be relicensed in this period, it is logical to assume 1/3

Perry Richardson That an even greater number shall leave in next 2 years, especially when you add to the mix that the remaining 3k EU5's are to be retired. We lost 1k out of 4k, which is a 25% reduction. If 25% were repeated over next 2 year there would be a further reduction of 3500 to 13,500

Perry Richardson I don't think 3,500 loss is likely but the trend tells us it will be 2k even before consideration is given to end of life EU5's. Driver numbers going into 2027 will likely be sub 15k which historically means that taxis will reduce to 13-13,500 Thriving...

The country was locked down at a cost of £500 billion (and rising) to save the vulnerable and elderly. Now Labour is seeking to save £1.5 billion by allowing the elderly to die.

DanA12 Guido Acasa Uber is operating at an enormous scale now, TfL cannot go on regulating them the same as they would a 10 car back street operator. Uber should get a 9 month interim license while TfL overhauls regulation starting with data access.

Found this on a taxi whats app group. Apparently passenger was waiting over an hour for hospital appointment. Pick up is slap bang in the middle of a LTN! Where WAV taxis are banned. ⁦Rowena Champion⁩ ⁦Caroline Russell⁩

NEW: Heathrow Airport says it has had its busiest ever summer serving 82.6m passengers in the last 12 months. Taylor Swift concerts brought in an additional 40k passengers.

By 2 April 2025, all international arrivals to the UK except British/Irish nationals must obtain a digital permit in advance. Rule even applies to passengers changing planes at Heathrow and remaining "airside". Amsterdam, Paris CDG and Frankfurt delighted. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…
