Since we broke the link between sex and reproduction and offered men and women the same opportunities, humans have an urgent question to answer. What if, as life gets better, our urge to reproduce is fading away?

Really good read on the lack of any clear explanation of what rail nationalisation is for. IMO it's thought about a cheaper, more comprehensive and reliable railway and that requires both ongoing revenue support, major investment and changes in working practices open.substack.com/pub/catching...

Would be pretty odd, if you were PM, to let someone run for a Commons seat when they've been clear that they want to replace you.
I just can't imagine any PM of my lifetime doing that.

Usually the excuse is ‘X has got covid - they are SO sorry not to make it’. Since COVID can be anything from barely noticeable to life-threatening, it’s a handy disease to invoke.
Nigel Farage had been due on BBC1's Laura Kuenssberg show, the latest in her series of party leader interviews. But at the last minute he has seemingly been replaced by Richard Tice. Hmmmm.
