It feels deeply unfair, but at the same time, we want government to be free from the taint of corruption, so it's the right course.

I do, however, feel very sorry for Rayner.

NOW let's watch the press hold other politicians to these standards.

NEW: Here is the full verdict from the PM’s ethics advisor.

- Rayner acted with “integrity”, but..

- She did not seek *expert* tax advice

- As such she must take responsibility for failing to pay enough stamp duty

- She therefore fell short of standards and broke ministerial code

Yeah. That doesn’t infuse the book. It’s not something you would be aware of from reading the book alone.

Collective worship is not education. It's religious observance.

Yet in Scotland (and across the UK), state schools are legally required to lead pupils in acts of worship. So many parents are totally unaware. New report by @humanistsociety.bsky.social goes in-depth 👇

Cracking holiday read. A catholic priest has a terrible secret. He doesn’t believe in God. A very pleasing book from beginning to its satisfying end. Quite a few laugh out loud moments. #BookSky

Review: “What I ate in a year” by Stanley Tucci

Stanley Tucci emerges as delightfully curmudgeonly, with a self-aware wit that allows him to laugh at his own occasional pomposity. I never thought I’d find occasion to use the word, but he is…
