Yet more birds of prey getting depressed, killing themselves, removing their satellite tags, then disposing of their own corpses. It's hard to believe, but the statistics don't like.
Either that or the shooting industry is involved. But that's a stretch of the imagination too far.

This is what persistence looks like. Rejoining Erasmus+ shows that change is possible when people keep pushing for it, and it strengthens the case for going further in rebuilding our relationship with Europe.

Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are doing their best to demonise resident doctors but 1000s have voted for strike action because they are worse off than they were in 2008 - and the service is on its knees because of underfunding.

It is indeed a better response than those we’ve heard elsewhere. But if the UK has managed being a multiethnic, multicultural society better than many others (and I agree it has), then why is Shabana going full steam ahead with shifting our approach towards the old West German Gastarbeiter model?

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.
I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.
We stand with you.

A thin defence given Farage’s standing ovation speech to the Neo Nazi AfD, and his recent comments about ‘Jews’ and the media
Fraser Nelson defends Farage, on the grounds that his conduct at school contrasts with his adult conduct in public life. To claim the evidential picture is mixed on antisemitism at school is quite a stretch but the substantive point is the contrast with adult Farage

Cole does ask if banning Halal means banning Kosher.
CT says it should
CT does say he'd ban Kosher + those Jews who want it "have a country of their own to go to"
Cole does not challenge or contest this in any way
