Robert Jenrick has a meltdown on #C4News He refuses to accept that there are parliamentary rules that Nigel Farage may have broken And insists the only people who can judge Nigel Farage are the people of Clacton 😅 - Whatever you do, please don't share this humiliating clip

Unfortunately, if SKS resigns today, the power of the media is being highlighted. People like Mason, Zeffman, Preston, Kuensberg and their ilk will feel even more empowered to attack the next PM, pushing their pro-Reform and Tory agendas.

Yet again the BBC lunchtime news giving time to "What a Reform government would do." Maybe they would be better known as the RBC! They certainly give them more air time than the number of their MPs deserves.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that Chris Mason and Henry Zeffman are absent from BBC News reports whenever the topic reflects badly on Farage and the Reform company?

Henry Zeffman now wetting himself over Wes Streeting's resignation. No doubt Chris Mason and Laura Kuensberg are in a similar state!

Chris Mason on the 6 o'clock news making absolutely no attempt to hide his bias against the current government. What with him, Laura Kuensberg and Henry Zeffman, it is obvious that the BBC do have a major problem!

The problem for the American Ryder Cup team was that they didn't play using TRoG (Trump Rules of Golf). If their caddies had been allowed to drop a new ball on a perfect spot after every shot on Friday and Saturday they wouldn't have lost those matches so decisively.

In case you aren't in the extensive maths-nerd bubble, here are some nice number properties of 2025 that "everyone" is talking about: * 2025 is a square number (45^2), the only square year most of us will live through * 45=20+25, so (20+25)^2 = 2025 * 1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3+6^3+7^3+8^3+9^3 = 2025

Given that 45 is the ninth triangular number, this must mean that 2025 = 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ Unless someone does a Futurama, none of us will be around for the sum of the first ten cubes.

I always talk about hypothesis testing in terms of a court case. Whereas the prosecution must find sufficient evidence to prove guilt, they must find sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

A poster outlining three steps (specialising, conjecturing and generalising) to enhance mathematical thinking.

The poster uses the classic "how many squares on a chessboard?" problem to exemplify each step in the process.
