Stunning time-lapse of Paris. Fabulous soundtrack, too.

Even Tory politicians are up in arms over apparently not knowing about the UK government’s plan to delay a petrol price increase.
Here is some priceless footage from BBC Newsnight last night when presenter Jeremy Paxman took junior minister Chloe Smith to task over the announcement.
The whole situation bears a striking resemblance to a classic West Wing scene when deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman was allowed to run a press briefing, rather than the usual, mostly unflappable CJ.
Here is press briefing and the follow-up with president Bartlett (sorry, can’t embed).
Brilliant.
NB: H/T @mattrhodes for coming up with the connection.
