Bookman is sometimes seen as a bit of a joke. I think we've done a good job in giving it some dignity.
The investigation is over. We’ve revived a classic with a deadly new twist: a massive weight range. From razor-sharp Hairline to heavy-hitting Black, Bookman Recast is the legible, friendly serif typeface you’ve been hunting for. Examine the evidence with a free trial: daltonmaag.com/bookman-recast

The post-Brexit UK economy is proof that you don’t play chicken with the EU.
Too many here assumed that after giving them a political middle finger that we’d get to keep the nice EU tariffs.
We didn’t.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

‘War for Greenland is boring, let’s talk about the Tories’ is genuinely the weirdest thing for a former ambassador *to Denmark* to say, apart from anything else

This is so important. If you persist in misrepresenting or misunderstanding reality you give even more ammunition to populist liars who understand nothing.
It is really important to understand that the asylum hotel chaos of 2022-24 is a *failed experiment in closed borders* (in contrast to the liberal visa policy)
The hotel chaos comes from passing multiple laws that all claims will be refused & to stop processing claims

I'd be surprised if Farage had seen this in advance. Jenrick's torching potential defectors. The gulf between his talents & his perception of them is pure Reform.
Absolutely jaw-dropping stuff from Robert Jenrick, who says his former party "betrayed" its voters and members, accuses his former Tory MP colleagues of being "in denial" or "dishonest", and picks out Mel Stride and Priti Patel for attacks on their records

"Mr. Farage, you say you're a new reforming force in politics. How can you claim that if - by your own definition - you're bringing in so many people that cause the mess you're trying to clear up?"

Prediction: Labour will try to do this in two weeks time, when it is least effective, after coming under attack for their own continued use of the site, which they fail to justify.
Labour can extend this beyond X and start going after Reform politicians making money from the site. "Will Farage give back the money he made from this sex offender site?" Etc...
Has there ever been any poll showing the public this united? yougov.co.uk/technology/a...
