As a journalist, I get that news outlets need to talk about a new Doctor (Who) immediately. But as a viewer, it is frustrating as hell to have it spoiled within minutes of it airing. It’s a Saturday night! iPlayer is key now! A million plus viewers have just had the ending ruined.

I’m in the middle of marking Masters level coursework, much of which comes from overseas students. The standard this year seems higher than ever - and it’s also ‘soft power’ when those students go back home with good stories and affection for the U.K. Plus: what harm *of any kind* do they do?

All those old guard conservatives who incrementally moved closer and closer to MAGA are now members of a party that worships a draft dodger, hates NATO, loves Putin, started a trade war, passed record deficits, pardons criminals who beat cops, and hates the Federalist Society.
