Danielle Pletka, commentating on @channel4news.bsky.social Like watching an animated Instagram filter. Because, that's pretty much what it is. She is 62.

Not sure what you could possibly do with our much loved Lily, who passed away at the end of last year. The world's most laid-back cat :-)

Nine tickets for the Warrington 'Neighbourhood Weekender' next year. £77 in additional fees for... what exactly? There is no 'service' apart from GUI and algorithm. No 'handling' whatsoever, all digital. And a 'facility charge'?
This kind of unavoidable profiteering should be banned.

If I have an interest in it, want to improve it, need to better understand it... and I can get hold of (or generate) some data around it... Well, it's going into Excel. Obv.
My friends think I'm weird. Because they lack insight.

Not the first time I've opened this week's copy to find it's glued to the envelope, resulting in crumple and tear: you need to sort out your supplier @newstatesman.com

Right. No suggestion of going back into the SM & CU (which no-one actually voted to leave anyway) because the British people voted to leave the EU almost a decade ago, a decision which all polling suggests people recognise, in significant majority, to have been a mistake. Mel Stride is a moron.
