More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

I mean, the entire bus industry's annual revenue is equivalent to the tax from one missed step in the annual fuel duty escalator, last actually increased in 1999.

God forbid a women have hobbies

(Seriously, though: people with chronic pain are not simply the sum of that pain!)
“The researchers suspect it once contained an ointment used for pain relief, because the woman’s skeleton shows signs of lesions and joint inflammation”

I disagree. This looks exactly like a dice 🎲 box that you hold game pieces and dice in. As a Roman historian: I don’t think it’s ointments. 1/2
Archaeologists Unearth Intricately Decorated Box Carved From Deer Bone That May Have Once Held Ancient Ointments
The box was excavated from a Roman-era grave in England. It was found among a trove of artifacts spanning roughly 8,000 years of human activity

One of the most astounding things about this government is their failure to grasp the primary lesson from the last one was so obviously "Don't mess about with Comms all the time, just do stuff that will probably work".
This is why there's a whole chapter in my book about the damage the grid has done to policy making.

Reassuring the people of Greenland and the international community that we will not be complicit in Trumps threats is the opposite of warmongering.

This government is pro suicide for trans kids
The Health Department’s minister of state for secondary care, Karin Smyth, said during a Tuesday (13 January) Commons debate, the Government has supported plans to move away from the “medical intervention model” when providing care for trans and non-binary young people.

It’s good that Elon Musk has backed down in the face of consequences.

But he must still be held to account for what he is: a purveyor of child pornography.

This "open borders" line is *infuriating* - these people came here to study or work, because they had a uni place or a job to come to. They paid visa fees, student fees, NHS surcharge - and many of them are doing challenging and important work - staffing our care homes, for example, including Mum's.
Starmer keeps using this line, & it's bonkers.

Most importantly, it's untrue: the party that ended Free Movement, ran the "hostile environment" & made Suella Braverman Home Sec did not run "an experiment in open borders".

It's also politically mad. Voters who believe this will not vote for Starmer

What counts as social media? For example my 13 year old niece is on a family whatsapp group that we use to share photos and do family calls. Would that be illegal in this future world? Deciding what is and what isnt social media is going to fry a lot of politicians brains.
Many Labour MPs back an Australian led ban on social media for under 16s.

The UK Government should give it full consideration.

I mean, the BBC would counter that you have a current and former member of a Labour cabinet (though Mandelson is not billed as such), but that’s quite a staked deck, and given Mandelson has been a lobbyist for Palantir, it’s very seriously unbalanced in other ways than party alignment.
List of right wing horrors picked as guests for BBC flagship today, not even one presentable left, liberal, or worthwhile guest. Any notion of balance or even old-fashioned tokenism absent
