It's a sad reflection that even Sir Magnus was hinting in his letter that these were the rules you signed up to (but the Tory government didn't). Live by the sword die by the sword.

Seems almost a fait accompli. The Torys imploding, the Labour government too early in their cycle of delivering promises, so an alternative sought, and the Lib Dems splitting the vote. New party, new ideas. ✅

no credible journalist has seen it fit to report let alone comment on such a 'flying a kite' stunt. Finally, I doubt the UN will waste any time on a well trodden debate when there are more
serious and pressing humanitarian issues that this mechanism is meant to resolve. Russian "territories" like..

Which of these iconic quotes are associated with #RFK or #JFK ?
1. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your

2."The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
3. "The worm that ate part of my brain will not affect my ability to serve as
president."

Gambling, especially online gambling, is the next big scandal in this country. It’s promotion and deregulation going unchecked. Gordon Brown is highlighting another issue - how little it is taxed. This does seem like a useful way to kill two birds with one stone. #rachelreeves #debt

At this rate, like America, we are moving in that direction. Farage, with Reform, is winning without the narrative of anti-Brussels. Performing better than UKIP and driving mainstream policy at Westminster without being in charge. See attached.

I think it’s more nuanced than that. The final paragraph of the press release even suggests that discrimination may still occur. This judgement provides a legal line in the sand that the definition of ‘a woman’ is based on biological sex which is where the Scottish and UK Governments were clashing.

I normally go to the source - (saying I read the Daily Mail is almost defamatory!) In this case PISA. For a once proud nation (if I am allowed to use your derogatory term) we have slipped significantly in rankings in a number of areas.

The News UK website needs an update; nothing on this admission. Their mission statement in tatters. Their executives now uncovered as blatantly covering up. Where does the police go with this?
