The great value of juries is not so much the powers they have, but the powers they prevent others from having.

This seems very weak to me. I'd like a politician to explain why companies of any sort are able to donate money or gifts to any political party when those companies do not have the vote. Only registered voters should be able to donate to political parties.

Labour bill would stop ‘dodgy front companies’ making political donations
Bill would also give votes to 16-year-olds and pave the way for ‘opt-out’ voter registration

"Plunge us into chaos (with Ed Miliband)"
BREAKING: Keir Starmer tells Labour MPs that he is "not prepared to walk away" from power or "plunge us into chaos" as previous prime ministers have done.
PM says that "every fight I've ever been in, I have won" and that this time will be no different - despite his detractors

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.
He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Love what's been done to this barrel outside the Transylvania Shop on Victoria Road in Glasgow. It's just a great bit of decoration that makes an interesting addition to the typical 'barrel as furniture' genre.

This portrait is astonishing.

This is great, but might have benefited from a wee graph or two. My conclusions are that our politicians either don't understand queues (regrettable, correctable) or are being sleekit and hoping the voters don't understand queues (dishonest).

How British Queues Got Out of Hand
As a way of dealing with high demand, the age-old practice of forming a long, orderly queue has something to be said for it: simplicity, transparency and equal treatment for all. But no matter how …

I'm thinking that these same criteria would apply here in the UK. If that's true, then wages will have to rise massively to close that gap.
As a reference point my local Tesco is £1.30 for a can of ginger and £1.70 for Heinz Tomato Soup (£2 in my local co-op). That's ripping us all off.
