"The government is pleased to confirm that we will be moving ahead with a new GCSE in natural history." BRILLIANT news! And not before time. Here's hoping there will be no long holdups before this finally comes into effect #Nature #education 🌿 questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques...

Dan Turner, local Reform Candidate in Louth Lincolnshire Approved and Vetted by Local Party. Approved and Vetted by National Party. Just pleaded GUILTY to Fraud ... on which he was being investigated WHILE HE WAS BEING VETTED. Stole £28,000 from a Charity. Very 'Reform', that.

This is just brilliant by Michael Sheen. Debt companies buy up weak debt cheaply. He has bought it off them and then written off the debts at a ratio of £1 spent to £10 written off. Kind, but also brilliant and effective. Wonder if he would allow others to buy in? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Zelensky's take-down of Brian Glenn over the suit question is underrated. "Maybe I'll get one after the war. Better than yours. Maybe cheaper." Low-key told the man he overpaid for a cheap suit. Don't argue with comedians. They'll destroy you.
