I listened to Shabana Mahmood’s comment this morning. It effectively appeals to the better nature of the Palestinian demonstrators implying “you’re better than this”. Compare and contrast with the condemnation of anyone who even raises the question of immigration as racist.

When BBC News (UK) were reporting in 1945 would they have described the Final Solution as an ‘escalation’? What terrifying capture has happened in the interim?

Who is going to buy a Ferrari EV? 🤦‍♂️ 1000bhp, huge battery and handling "to thrill" | Autocar autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-c…

Remember when Patrick Vallance made up a comedy exponential forecast about COVID cases that sent the UK back towards lockdowns in late 2020, a forecast immediately disproved by the next few weeks' data...? I still suspect he manufactured that spike in the red line by holding

Ringo explains that his unique ‘genius’ drumming style was because he is left handed and had to play a right handed drum kit leading to little delays while he got his left hand out the way of his right. Never knew that. 🙂

Good to see Starmer’s regime not letting slip a strategic investment opportunity. They basically couldn’t offer more than a day’s asylum seeker housing cost to encourage a key industry to come this side of the Pond. So they’ve gone. Well done Keir. 👍

I'm sorry but there is no question to which the answer is "listen to Rory Stewart"

The men that have been harassing me in public since I was 13 years old were never white men. My girl friends would all agree. Nice try, The Mirror.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Heart of Midlothian FC do win the League this year and it goes down as an * because the OF were deemed sub standard imposters. (I’ll still take it.)

"In my 30-odd years in practice I have never experienced such a devastatingly incompetent budget process that over the course of 12 months has, in my view, inflicted such horrific damage to business and consumer confidence."

Tempted to say they can do it when they want to - but the reality no doubt is he was given £20k to get on the plane willingly. Otherwise there would have been a host of human rights lawyers ready to plead his case that he would lose access to his favourite brand of winegums.

MichaelWhite Your response says it all, Michael. You're less concerned with what the BBC did than with who exposed it. That's not journalism; it's tribal loyalty. The leak matters less than the lie. Michael Prescott wasn't "upset." He was horrified that the BBC had spliced a speech to make a

If Islamophobia was really the problem, wouldn't the 'diversity barriers' be being placed around Mosques?

This knight of the realm sold out the Post Office managers when fully responsible for their plight. He then claimed he didn’t know what was going on. Now he goes for the easy ‘Liberal’ target Trump while excusing BBC News (UK) for the worst falsehood in their recent lousy history.

There’s years until the next GE but if this poll was to be replicated at that point then an understanding would need to be reached on the right to avoid tactical voting on the left returning a Labour/Green Government. Would a Conservative leader return Farage’s previous favour?

Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore: "One of my missions is to turn on its head the idea that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and somehow dangerous, when in fact it is the most important nutrient for all life on Earth, and without it this would be a dead planet." "I am firmly

This is extraordinary from the Covid inquiry. No modelling “established” that 23,000 lives would be saved if lockdown had happened a week earlier - that was a notorious and debunked Ferguson claim…

…the flawed assumptions behind that claim were examined here. spectator.co.uk/article/covid-…

Just watched the The Spectator debate on private education and found it amusing how frustrating David Aaronovitch found the audience’s stubborn refusal to break into wild applause every time he paused. That BBC Question Time audience can be intoxicating eh?
