lol like no matter HOW you slice it, this is objectively ridiculous. One person has majority control over two MAJOR news broadcasts and nearly ALL entertainment streams, including children programming, globally. ONE person. A single human being.

I seem to remember Monica particularly remembered Archer because he had a spotty back. Rather than simply have a look at the said back, the court decided to ask his fragrant wife - who said that on the contrary, it was perfectly smooth 🙄

IIRC the only concession to the LDs was to hold a referendum on AV, which Clegg himself had previously called a "miserable little compromise"

Very misleading trail: Michael Crick does not say Badenoch can win the next election, he sets out why she is not currently on course to win Nor does he advocate cooperation with Reform, rather the reverse

"Cups" are not part of the imperial system; they are US Customary measures, which has some units in common with Imperial but diverges in other ways

Or when the intention is to minimise the impact of a story- eg raising spending on defence to 3% of GDP sounds unremarkable, raising it to £91bn p/a lands rather differently

When I started my IT career back in the second millennium there were few computing degree courses, so by necessity employers would train up new entrants. They have since found they can shift the burden to universities, at the expense of at first the taxpayer and subsequently the students themselves

Absolutely fascinating watching the confusion in England as to why masked men are allowed to march wherever they want and intimidate whoever they feel like while the police and politicians do nothing. *waves from Northern Ireland*

I suspect one reason the UK and others now feel emboldened to target the illegal settlements is that they're no longer afraid of Trump - either because they think he's lost interest or because they see him as a (figurative) dead man walking

There's more to the BBC than the Today programme - the World Service spoke to Hannah Weisfeld of Yachad this morning who said the Chief Rabbi represents perhaps 30% of British Jews

By contrast, the BBC World Service spoke to Hannah Weisfeld of @yachad.bsky.social who called Miliband's measures "necessary and overdue" and went on to say that no person or organisation can claim to speak for all British Jews (about 6.35am)
