I have finally ticked "subscribe to @bylinetimes.bsky.social "off the to-do list. I'm sure it reflects badly on me that it took this to finally get me to do it, but thanks anyway :-) Print edition will be joining The Onion in the office canteen Reading Nook!

Yes but his objective is often not to win, but to tie up respondents in legal nonsense for years, so it's easier to settle and let him "win" rather than run up huge legal costs. He won't pay his lawyers, so there is no downside for him. He is SLAPP embodied.

In my fantasy common sense world, the "major" parties look at all the poll numbers and go "hey, maybe PR isn't such a bad thing."

These are the knots you tie yourself in when having to defend the racists in your party, while comdemming the ones over there. (Quite a few of whom USED to be in you party)

We went to the Science Museum last month, and while it isn't "what it was in my day" I was impressed by the communication gallery, which had a nice collection of stuff we used to have at home.

The million are regular migrants. Not housed in hotels, but hired to fill vacancies the country needed to fill, primarily in the care sector. Toryform want you to think they are "illegals" but they are not. Do not fall for it.
