The value of Simon Jenkins is that whatever topic he picks he is 100% certain to be wrong on. Whether this is a service a newspaper should pay for is, however, questionable.

I hope the Government will work with us to change an education system too focused on the university route and excluding far too many young people from school. We need two equal routes at 14 - one academic, one technical - and our #MBacc achieves that. 🙌🏻

Much needed light relief from @privateeyenews.bsky.social on the howling embarrassment that is Liz Truss… “addressing a conference of pigeons in the park wearing a MAGA hat”
DETAILS OF LIZ TRUSS AFFAIR REVEALED

by Our Westminster Bubble
Staff Quentin Lettuce
THERE was widespread amuse-ment in Westminster last night as Mark Field's memoirs lifted the lid on his fling with former PM Liz
Truss.
Said former Tory MP Mr
Playing-The-Field,
"The affair was all-too-brief, ill-advised, reckless and left
nothing but destruction in its wake. It resulted in my marriage crashing spectacularly and my bank account being wiped out to pay for the divorce lawyers."
Liz Truss has blamed the failure of their relationship on shadowy left-wing cabal of the global financial establishment, rather
than the fact that she is completely bonkers.
Addressing a conference of pigeons in the park wearing a MAGA hat, the former PM said, "It was the blob that undermined the long-term stability of this affair.” She continued, "We need to align ourselves more with Donald Trump, who has led the way in cheating on spouses. Make Adultery Great Again!"

Official statistics affect everything. They shape how problems are seen and discussed, how policies are developed and assessed, and how we hold governments to account. The crisis at the ONS is therefore a crisis of governance - if statistics are how the State sees, it is going blind...

Where do I begin?! Well, Musk sits forlorn in a burnt out Tesla (eyeing up his vials of ketamine on the road). Nazis are being punched. Cantona King fu kicks a fascist. Christopher Plummer tears a nazi flag in half. Saffiya Khan passively stares down an English Defence League throbber. A woman sticks her middle fingers up to a Confederate boy. Harold Bishop is in the woods, parping his anti- fascist tuba. And Lucky Ian the tapir walks by - giving us all a bit of hope.
