The idea of replacing Starmer is just utter nonsense. He's just won an election with a huge majority. It would look foolhardy, sel-obssessed, chaotic, insane: classic Tory bollocks.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

I always relish an opportunity to use up ingredients that are past their best. The thing to do is make breadcrumbs with stale bread whenever it's to hand. Stash the breadcrumbs in airtight bags in the...

Anyone on social media doesn’t need to be told that people can be odd, but this comment below a book review in the Sunday Times is really quite something! (Good reply to it, though.)

Sharp, sweet, crisp, gooey and dreamily creamy: Lemon Pavlova is #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/lemo...
Lemon Pavlova
Ever since my first pav in How To Eat, I have been something of a pavaholic. For me, acidity is key. So naturally, a lemon pavlova made perfect sense. You will note there are a lot of flaked almonds ...

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.
Vance tells Fox the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal.

And he describes British and French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

I worked with/met a number of US doctors who moved to NZ during the 45th presidency/first term

NZ could never compete with US physician salaries but it didn't need to. They moved for political stability and a society without active shooter drills for their kids schools. Most seemed happy
Younger American physicians don’t have to stay in a country where the medical system is designed to strip-mine their souls for profit. The price of staying is clear: participation in a morally bankrupt, predatory business model that Americans call “healthcare.”
Paging Canada: Your future doctors are fleeing the U.S.
Before the US election, my wife and I talked about moving to Canada. 2 days after, we put the wheels in motion.

Let's celebrate her .. Can't imagine how hard it must have been
Surgeons Hall, Edinburgh, 1895, Lilian Murray became the first female dentist to qualify in the UK. She initially tried to enrol at the London Dental School but was refused entry to the building in case she distracted male students & was interviewed on the pavement instead! #InternationalDentistDay
