On the left, Dan Niedle's column in the Telegraph
Unless they take up one of the Government’s subsidised childcare schemes, in which case their marginal tax rate will be 2,000,000pc. Because this isn’t The Guardian, you know that’s not a misprint.The UK's independent press regulator, IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation), has multiple times upheld complaints or forced corrections against The Daily Telegraph for utilizing incorrect data, flawed mathematics, or misstated statistics.

I was struck by this from an Instagram post I was served - what do they think the Express is?

The numbers show this wasn't just a right-wing tabloid obsession. The Guardian and Daily Express are just as guilty.”

Checked out the recently deceased’s Wikipedia page to remind myself of his greatest shits. Was surprised to find the subject of this leading the eulogies
Screengrab of a paragraph on Rod Liddle’s Wikipedia page: The article also criticised the Labour MP Rosie Duffield's recent speech about her experience of trying to exit an abusive relationship; Duffield described the article as "racist and misogynistic".

Are Microsoft paying the BBC for this - I see no kind of ‘sponsored by’ logo - or are the BBC giving them free advertising?

Correction in the Guardian:

This article was amended on 16 May 2026 to remove a reference to Brian Jones living on the north bank of the Thames; while the former Rolling Stone did once live in this part of London, Jones died in 1969.

Marvelling at the large patch of lily of the valley that has appeared from nowhere in my garden this year. Also a few random Welsh poppies. I try to keep it bee and insect friendly, and assume they’ve been brought by welcome visitors

Yes, it’s true and the rumours were correct. I *was* the biggest buyer of Kombucha at Brighton Sainsbury’s in 2025. I’d like to thank my wife and stepdaughter who drank it all. It means everything. To everyone else - don’t stop dreaming.
