I'm starting to get worried that even if I'm riding my bike I may get hit by a plane.

Surprised the US media hasn't blamed recent FAA firings for this, which they actually did for a crash in Asia recently...

The US Department of Energy has reported the discovery of a radioactive wasp nest at one of its facilities in South Carolina that was once involved in the production of parts for nuclear weapons.

According to a 22 July department report, the contaminated nest was discovered at the facility – the Savannah River site – on 3 July near tanks used to store liquid nuclear waste.

We've seen the movies. Spiders, wasps, whatever ... We know what happens next

Really, they did? Where was the crash?

The Air India 787. The usual suspects in the US media tried to claim it was because of an FAA ATC staff shortage.

I went through several pages of results, only result including FAA was:

FAA says Boeing fuel switches are safe following fatal Air India crash

That's in the Financial Times, probably not one of your 'usual suspects'!

They want supporters to think of the name, this could be fun.

The Motorcycling Holiday in East Germany with Dianne Abbott Party - MHEG DAP to give it it's short name.
Or maybe just go with "The Champagne Socialist Council Workers Party" or "Millionaires of Islington Party" or "Socialist Champagne Union Members"

We're not The Champagne Socialist of Islington party! We're the Islington Part of Champagne Socialists!

They're asking people to come up with a name! It's almost as if they've never heard of Boaty McBoatface.

Bonkers MacBonkers Face Party????

By the way, how did a story about naming a political party end up in non political news?
