As people are discussing Andy Burnham’s plan not to have Number 10 as his main home, my mind drifts to the outrage over Starmer saying he would take a few hours off as ‘family time’ on Friday nights

Replacing Starmer with Burnham would be the worst downgrade since Lazenby took over from Sean Connery.

Being a Lewis fan in this Ferrari era is crazy cause every day there's a headline like: *Person with no success in F1* tells *driver with the most wins ever* that to be successful at *team with no recent success* you need to stop trying to *improve/change something*

Hannah Hampton has no depth perception. She had multiple operations on her eyes before she was 5 years old. She was told she’d never play professional sport. What she’s just done defies description, medical science, anything else you can name. A phenomenal human being. 🥲

1/ Now the embargo has lifted, I’ve had time to read the @lengreview in full. While some celebrate minor cosmetic wins, I see the formal entrenchment of a parallel, underqualified medical workforce — built without medical training.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us. So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
Replying to @JamesSurowiecki
It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff.

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1927…

The way Mr Anthony Hamilton grabbed and hugged Isack Hadjar. The way it felt like its exactly what this young kid needed at that moment - the father of his racing idol coming up to him at what may be the toughest moment in his career so far. THIS is my highlight of the day.

Vegetable Oil and Pyrex have the same refractive indexes of 1.47. When light travels through the glass and then the oil, the speed of light slows down and on reflection, makes the glass seem invisible.

There are multiple reasons this is a bad idea I'll go through each one by one for anyone who can be arsed to find out The only people who won't be arsed are people who think this only for ideological, NOT rational reasons 1/🧵
Privatise the BBC. If I want to watch it I’ll subscribe, as I do to channels that make programmes that I want to watch/ listen to. No one should be forced to pay £169.50 for a service they may never use, merely because they watch other things on a television.

She’s also sent a letter to Tesco demanding they stop selling lettuces.
EXC: Liz Truss has sent Keir Starmer a cease and desist letter demanding he stops claiming she crashed the economy. Lawyers for Truss say the statement is “false and defamatory” and even may have contributed to her failed re-election. 4 of 6 pages below telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Chris Hope, GB News, "Why don't you order a national inquiry to join the dots between the 50 towns?" "Are you concerned it might expose failings of your role as director of public prosecutions? And that's why Elon Musk says you were complicit in the rape of Britain" Keir Starmer, "You were covering crime for The Telegraph when I was director of public prosecutions, you were quizzing me at the time, for the entire five years" "You looked at my record as I was doing the job. You have access to all of the material" "Unlike some Tory politicians, I'm not tweeting about it or talking about it, I got on with changing the system" "The victims suffered terrible abuse, sickening, unspeakable abuse, and then they weren't listened to, that has to be taken seriously. That's why I made the changes that I did in criminal justice" "On the question on another review, there have been a lot of reviews.. This doesn't need more consultation.. It just needs action" "Why didn't the last government, the Conservatives, implement the Alexis Jay Inquiry Report requirements?" "For ten years we've had reviews, did the Conservatives act? No - They're now tweeting and talking about what they think should have been done"
