"chubby" - that's a bit rude.
‘She’s a bit chubby’
said the vet, ‘a bit less food’
Then gave me a treat

Genuinely interested to know what you mean by "better than general search engines for initial reading"...

Ta for the "argument is more subtle than the headline" health warning.
…& former foreign sec William Hague in the Times stating the obvious thing that European leaders can’t; ultimately Trump is a problem to be solved in Washington, there are hard limits to what Europe can do by itself (argument is more subtle than the headline) www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
Time for Britain to decide if we’re happy to look weak
Starmer is rightly trying to defuse the Greenland crisis but this must be the moment when we get serious about defence

A lot of these political editors see Starmer/Trump and Mamdani/Trump as unexpected bromances, rather than what the rest of us see, which is someone trying to gamely manage a lunatic.

Thank you!
No, the fat content’s essential for the smooth texture of no-churn ice creams

Would it work substituting some of the cream with yoghurt to reduce the fat content?
Thank you! And here’s the 🍊 ice cream recipe www.nigella.com/recipes/no-c...

This makes no sense…

An MP can wake up one morning, ditch the party you elected them for, & sign up to a completely different manifesto…

No thanks

If they defect to a different party, we should get a vote

Sign the petition & help make that law.

"Bobby J" makes him sound way cooler than he is!! 😆
Hello! Join me on Times Radio 1-4pm. Lots of reaction to Bobby J’s defection including Jenrick’s former campaign manager, new Reform leader in scotland Malcolm Offord, Sir John Hayes, Lord Graham Brady plus @IanDunt & @Freddygray31

Personally, think by focusing on bans etc (while not necessarily against) we let everyone else off the hook.

…and don’t expect it to be clairvoyant. AI needs a brief otherwise it makes things up and churns out shit. Just like a human.
also, you cannot just roll out AI - or worse, have people using it as a side thing - you absolutely have to do the work of training people. Train them on how it works, what its limitations are, how to use it *responsibly*. Have processes in place for disclosure; have guardrails, have leadership.

Excellent idea. Going to follow your example. My MP also still on X though not posted since July 24.
Anyway, just sent this to him. Will be interesting to see what his response is.

❤️‍🔥Tory sources confirm that Nadhim Zahawi made approaches to senior members of Kemi Badenoch's team about getting a peerage just weeks before defecting to Reform UK - but was turned down.

Really weaksauce argument from Paul Nurse: "yes he's bad but other scientists have been bad too". Removing this kind of honour is the kind of sanction that actually land with and sting thin-skinned arseholes like Musk

"If Sadiq Khan thinks today that London is the greatest city in the world, then he's deluded," says Nigel Farage.

Suspect there may be one or two Londoners who, for all its faults, don't much like their city being talked down.

Farage says Sadiq Khan is "deluded" to think London is the greatest city in the world.

Not sure that's the best way to appeal to Londoners at a press conference designed to appeal to Londoners.

I might argue that nicking food from shops when you’re broke is morally justifiable, but we don’t just get to follow laws we agree with and this is a deeply unwise precedent for a politician to set.
