Badenoch's position on Russian interference in the Brexit vote is a patriotic disgrace really. Her view seems to be that because she approves of the outcome of the referendum, no-one can mention that there was very likely to have been foreign interference in it.

Trans people in the UK are being killed by transphobia. BBC. Let's do a documentry on the famous individual who wrote this:
Jk Rowling:

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was. utterly ridiculous.
Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.

Boris Johnson’s claims about asking whether Russia interfered in Brexit are misleading. He didn’t ask for any formal assessment and nor did he receive a categorical response. Anyone printing a notorious liar’s disingenuous comments is engaged in deliberate obfuscation.

This article was not as bad as the title suggests, but it is still very poorly written and shouldn't be published in its current form. This reads like an amateur translation of a not especially well written Spanish original. You can't write like this in English. Get an editor.

Note: the BBC does everything possible to promote latest Farage proposals. For example, on the BBC News iPlayer section for shorts, there is only one political news: the Farage proposal, nothing else; nothing about Burnham, Kemi, Davey or Polanski. Nope, just about Farage.

Finally realised what tech companies insisting 'you need to suffer some hurt right now to enjoy a glorious future' reminded me of
Tech CEO speaking on stage about AI, gesturing with a small remote while colorful, scattered light points form a network-like pattern behind him, illustrating an interview about accepting some risks for the benefits of artificial intelligence.Interview excerpt with two highlighted passages: a red highlight likening A.I. to surgery—"they've got to hurt you first...to save you"—and an orange highlight stating "over the next several years we have to unfortunately use fossil fuels" before transitioning to sustainable energy."Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make" — Lord Farquaad smirking between two armored knights, a meme mocking callous leadership.
