Perhaps the ONS should move hotels from its historical and future calculations.
Seriously, why are hotels in this metric?
How do they help measure the cost of living for UK citizens when (I assume) they are predominantly used by visitors to the UK?

Not a single mention of “rates” here until this new FT “scoop.”
Tonight’s reporting just serves as more evidence, as if it were needed, that our current crop of Celebrity Journalists prefer to revel in sensationalist narratives over the factual or potential outcomes.

NEW: There was contact between Epstein and "The Duke" as recently as March 2011, in relation to an array of questions about Maxwell from a journalist at the Mail on Sunday.
Further damning evidence that the former 'prince' Andrew had not cut ties.

If the Constitution means anything to Bannon & co, as they frequently claim it does, then they will agree that there is no basis - legally, constitutionally - on which Trump can serve another term after his second term.
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

An insulting and patronising section of speech by the leader of the opposition, Yair Lapid, during his address to parliament, ahead of Trump's speech.
Says that those protesting 'against Israel' were 'deceived', all but saying they supported Hamas.
Protesters railed against genocide, not Israel.

What is this obsession with pubs? It really is baffling.
What about abolishing business rates for childcare settings or gyms?

The entire premise of Dan Neidle and Gabriel Pogrund story on Keir Starmer’s donkey paddock is based on a specific interpretation of a word.
There is no evidence the prime minister created a trust, as Neidle an Pogrund state in their write-ups.
Indeed the prime minister has outright denied this.

It’s not clear how this particular argument against Digital ID Card holds any water at all; the population has already given up most of its personal data to national databases - it’s just that they’re mostly in the US, and owned by Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, etc…
It’s nonsense.

It’d be fascinating to listen to the clergyman behind Hopkins and Robinson give a sermon on his rationale for attending the Steve Bannon-supported Tommy Robinson extremist/racist march.

Unfortunately, if one gleefully joins a Steve Bannon-supported Tommy Robinson march, one leaves oneself open to accusations of having sympathy for racist and extremist views.

Why wouldn’t Trump unilaterally impose the strongest possible sanctions now to commence the deterrent at the earliest opportunity?
All questions for the inevitable impeachment.

Kash Patel does not exude the confidence nor the stature an FBI chief should. A rabbit in headlights.
He used the start, middle, and end of his speech to needlessly thank Supreme Leader Trump, and to indirectly beg not to be sacked.
Another embarrassing moment in recent history of Trump’s USA.
