Yeah I understand Starmer’s reluctance to appoint her to such an important cabinet position given the nature of the deputy leadership campaign, but now both of his deputies have authority over only some of his duties, and I can’t see that being anything other than quite messy.

Although Starmer still hasn’t appointed an Ambassador to the United States after fully three months now, so maybe he just has an aversion to appointing people.

I remember Greg Hands tweeting about the no money note pretty much every hour during last year’s election.

I know it’s not the point but I tried to vote no in this poll and to get to the poll I had to scroll past six adverts and five links to other articles, taking up considerably more screen space than the article itself, so I can only conclude that the Mail don’t want people to read their news actually

This is interesting because I remember Harwood in particular being a bit obsessed with getting the birth rate up.

Ok but what if I actually am a fan of Gordon Lightfooot

When I was 14 I bought the whole series on DVD from one of those CASH 4 GOLD high street shops that thinks they’re the next Cash Converters. I paid exactly £1, I think they just wanted rid of it because it took up loads of space.

And yeah, sure, I may have fallen for ragebait here. But there is a compelling, some may even say conclusive, case that the Times, Britain's most prestigious newspaper, should refrain from publishing ragebait except maybe on April Fools' Day.

So for those who are paywalled, the story isn't even that Reeves didn't actually win the chess tournament she is claiming to win; she did. The story is that she called the chess championship by a slightly different name to its official name on her CV, presumably because it was decades ago.

I suppose you could say, in this case, that Farage is old enough that he might not know what a URL is so would struggle even if he tried to get to grips with the technical detail of the story.

Badenoch, on the other hand, we know is intimately familiar with computers and their misuse.

Obviously I’m simplifying this a bit - the risk is not merely false positives but also low severity cancers being entered into the treatment pool, and it’s more complicated than a binary of low risk and high risk groups - but this is the principle of the advice, and it’s mathematically sound.

I appreciate that the huge list of men who have spoken out against this are prostate cancer survivors, but by speaking out against this they are attempting to influence the government into an anti-scientific decision that will reduce the survival rate, and the media are loving every second.
