Sad to see Thrive winding down, it's part of the glue that keeps the community in Cambridge in good spirits www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/thrive-...

And here we have it - clear evidence Cambridge has been captured as a vehicle for investors. And those investors don't give diddly-squat about anything except their dividend. So if ancient trees must be felled, if we live in a dead zone,THEY DON'T CARE! www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/failing...

Terrible news for Cambridge life sciences, that £200m represented 1,000 jobs, investment in UK life sciences sector, backing for NHS model, and a huge wealth-creating - and indeed life-saving - pharma giant is now losing patience with UK government www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/business/ast...

Developers on Newmarket Road setting up 21st century building while ruts in the road looks like something from 19th century. Future residents are prioritised, current residents neglected. It's a two-tier society in the rush to develop Cambridge. Why aren't developers asked to improve roads they use?

The BBC is a busted flush when it comes to its key USP - trust. Can't they see that Reform will just close them down if they get into power? Or turn them into party line parrots - oh sorry, that ship sailed when Boris Johnson was allowed to appoint Tim Davie....

The Mill Road Bridge debate is a black hole which is sucking all life forms into its deathly embrace.

Just back from Trumpington Meadows. The estate's dispiriting tone is set by the architecture - no redeeming features, no joy, nothing remotely artistic, boring, these buildings are built to a price. I'd support developers more if they could raise their game not just their prices.

It's a simple scam. He announces tariffs, stock market goes down. He knows when he'll cancel tariffs, and just before he announces it he tells his buddies and they buy low and two days later sell high. You. Are. Being. Robbed. Will you tell America or shall I? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...
