Policy by Pub Bore. He's just that spittle-flecked Hate Guy in the corner of your done-up bar saying that modern beer is horrible and anyone under 50 is lazy and a loser. As beatable a politician as there'll ever be.
BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance
"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”

Jeremy Kyle is interviewing Reform MPs at a live press conference
Discussing who might take over from Keir Starmer as PM, Kyle just said: "She's had a makeover, Angela"
Lee Anderson: "She's throwing her money away, isn't she, to be honest with you"
*applause from the audience*

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

'The Fortune Teller.' (c1920) In much of his work of this period, John Bulloch Souter's portraits challenged early 20thC British norms, influencing debates on morality, censorship, and the expressive power of figurative art.

This report implies that 'Andrew' may have broken the Official Secrets Acts (& I wonder if the same could be possible of Mandelson?) and if so I wonder whether that, rather than 'Misconduct in Public Office' might, in both cases, form the basis of a prosecution?

Andrew shared confidential information with Epstein as trade envoy, files suggest
Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information.

UK trains, including in Scotland, are all rented.
It is the most profitable part of the rail network and was privatised in 1993-1997.
Now we rent £9bn worth of trains which last for 25 years, for £3bn a year.
It is the worst deal ever.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.
