Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people.

I split all the GCSE Maths past papers into odd and even numbers making the perfect 45min homework paper. Then I filmed a tutorial vid for each, linked it with a QR code on the front of each paper & listed the Sparx codes for each question. They’re free and you can download them here: bit.ly/4jyYz8C

In case you aren't in the extensive maths-nerd bubble, here are some nice number properties of 2025 that "everyone" is talking about:
* 2025 is a square number (45^2), the only square year most of us will live through
* 45=20+25, so (20+25)^2 = 2025
* 1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+5^3+6^3+7^3+8^3+9^3 = 2025
* 2025 is a square number (45^2), the only square year most of us will live through
* 45=20+25, so (20+25)^2 = 2025
