What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect we should be paying attention to.

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

#bbcpoliticslive interesting that the main theme is Starmer is obsessed with reform. It’s always been the case that parties seek to put clear air between themselves and the most likely challenger at conference. The media has helped with Reforms rise with little objectivity, so it was well overdue.

It should be mandatory that online shopping state the delivery service they use. Yodel are absolutely useless. They don’t seem to be able to deliver a parcel to right address and/or intact. Their customer service is a repeat of “not our problem, spend some days sorting with the seller”.
