Languages education at all levels, especially higher, is under existential threat in the UK. It is an impoverished society which produces so few students interested in languages & a shortsighted state that cannot subsidise this public good through tough times. Pls consider signing.

I agree totally with Mr. Rentoul on this point.
The kind of people who hate the idea of poor people having more kids are also those who hate the idea of immigrants setting up families in the UK.
Well looking at our current birth rate, it's one or the other.

“I don’t think that it's right that a child is penalised because they are in a bigger family through no fault of their own.” Reeves. For me, this outweighs the argument that taxpayers should not subsidise parents to have children they can’t afford

Been on minimum dose Wegovy for a month now and haven't noticed any substantial changes to appetite. I understand that for many it kicks in several months down the line.
I'm interested to hear what others might have experienced using this drug.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

There are public people who are so because they are consequential in some way.
And then there are people who you only get to hear of because they say and do the shittiest stuff.

Is this going to be a 'Rivers of Blood' moment for Badenoch? Heath dismissed Powell from the Cabinet after that speech.
If Badenoch removed the whip from Kam she'd do herself and her party nothing but good.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.
I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.
