"The chancellor approved it"

That's not entirely accurate.They didn't criminalise genocide protests.There are multiple pro Palestine protests all the time here.They proscribed one specific group bc allegedly some of their actions met the terror threshold.Agree they need to explain that decision clearly. It hasn't stopped them.

Someone made a lot of money through insider trading. On the international betting site Polymarket, the eventual winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Maria Corina Machado went from rank outsider to 70% favourite in the early hours of Friday before the award was announced.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

My mother passed that test several times even while she was displaying symptoms of (then) mild dementia.

Obv hoping you feel much better soon! I'm 3+ years with Long Covid so understand the train of thought. Whatever the viral infection with or post LC, you just have to put into place all the stuff you already know & ease back in gently rather than trying to do everything everywhere all at once. 👌

Just to say it took 3 days of feeling awful before the Covid test turned positive on my recent bout. I had 2 negative tests for both flu and Covid but was positive for Covid on day 4.

This war and desperate needs of the innocent civilians caught in it does not get the same attention but an entire generation of children is similarly suffering a critical ongoing humanitarian crisis.

It's not unimaginable unfortunately. In the same 2 years,10 million children in Sudan are in a war zone, nearly 4m of those are malnourished, 17/19 million have no school to attend, 4m have been displaced, 50% of the population need food/meds/2/water and more than 522,000 children have died.

His request for clarity in this season was if he was in the clear following her confession and she affirms she never told FBI he knew. Then they shag.

Ohh sorry, misread. Leaked photos and story in Paul's 'The Vault' meant Cory was accused of inappropriate workplace relationship after helping drunk Bradley in the hotel. (Ultimately cleared). He covered up for her deleting the J6 footage and had to walk away from her at that point...
