The long game:
Mossad built an entire secret drone base within Iran to assemble and launch explosive drones. They were then used to destroy Iranian missile launchers near Tehran in preparation for the Israeli airstrikes.

It is very very funny that one of the few genuine ways we have diverged from EU law since Brexit is VAT on private schools.
Karmic punishment for Telegraph readers.

Indeed! Apologies for the slightly snarky quote-post, couldn't resist given I'm a high-status media type doing the exact thing tomorrow!

Plus Star Trek is the sort of thing where people go back and rewatch for years afterwards, so it would retain value in terms of increasing watch-time on the platform.

This would surely be a good show for Netflix to rescue. Proven fanbase. High quality. A broadly family-friendly show. Couldn't achieve scale on Paramount+ but could do massive numbers on a bigger platform.

Compare to (eg) Grenfell or 7/7, both of which merited rolling coverage.

I am convinced that we wouldn't call regional growth "levelling up", were it not for a generation of Spads who grew up playing RPGs. (Even though it's, like, a bricklaying term, it wouldn't have the same resonance without the gaming connection.)

Anyway, I also get mad at landlords! But also think the problem – as the LibDems apparently agreed – fundamentally comes down to supply. So the important political question is how to build more.
