The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives.
Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

Dominic Cummings and Boris Johnson need to stand at the Old Bailey, charged with neglect and manslaughter.

I know this is very cliche but watching my 5 year old grow and go though the struggles of learning to read and realising that he will be able to read and learn things by himself is just incredible.
I wonder at what age do most of us lose the awe of reading?

Journalists - if the person you are all trying to question insults one of your peers and them comes to you, the only reasonable response is to defer back to the insulted journo or to repeat their question. It’s not just about integrity - our main job is to make sure difficult questions are answered

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

Amazing show. It’s done really well.
But if ABBA came on the scene today, they wouldn’t make it in the Top 100 chart.
They had the foresight to stop when they did and be forever remembered as they were in their prime.

Net migration by mid-year 2025 (stats in November) and year end 2025 (figures next Spring) will certainly be significantly down on 400k for 2024. Here @jamesbowes01.bsky.social suggests likely to fall below 200k in 2026, perhaps as low as 70-170k.
