The most amazing thing about Danny Kruger isn't that he holds these views. It's that he voluntarily expressed them to a journalist.

Mr Dunning was not available for comment.

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger
He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’

I'd like to reinstate the 'follow friday' tradition from the other space where on a friday you suggest people or organisations to follow.

My recommendations this week are @seda-ed-dev.bsky.social, @ntfellows.bsky.social, @aldinhe.bsky.social, @advancehe.bsky.social and @altuk.bsky.social

If you believe either that Franklin discovered the double helix, and / or Watson and Crick stole her data, ask yourself how you know this. Then take a read of this article.

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.

Strictly Come Feedback
It is dark in the northern hemisphere so early these days and Strictly Come Dancing does brighten up a Saturday evening somewhat with music and dancing and sparkle. Where else can you watch four different people experience the same event simultaneously and then give feedback to the participants right before grading them. Let's start with the scores shall we? Typically, the scale (1 - 10) is not fully used with most marks coming in 7 - 9 at the moment.
