Opinion | The last 80 years have brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to the US, Canada, and Western Europe. It's time that we ended it.

Idea for those now with creative control of James Bond. Re-film each of the stories in their original 1950s and early 1960s period settings. Do not update them. And make Bond as unsympathetic and unlikeable - indeed nasty - as the original. It may give quite a lot of people a useful jolt.

The test of basic legal literacy in the UK is whether you think UK judges use gavels. Not a single person involved in the production and publication of this cartoon would pass that test.

Very occasionally, it's worth holding your nose and reading the Telegraph. This exclusive story about what was really in the "deal" Trump put to Ukraine last week is one such exception. It reveals plans for the biggest smash and grab in history. (Link below bypasses the paywall.) archive.ph/0NSur

Sad to report I just lost my job at nuclear, after 40 years of faithful service overseeing the US nuclear arsenal. My job was keeping all the nukes from exploding by pressing the don't explode button every 48 hours.

This may seem boringly nerdy but it's actually quite interesting and quite important. Who is *responsible* for the condition and refurbishment of the Palace of Westminster? Who takes the decisions, who is sued when it goes tits up? It's very unclear

This describes me and a fair number of my peers rather well. My vote was only loaned to Labour last time out and the way they're going, I will absolutely take it back next time out. Once upon a time I would have thought it was important to GTTO Now I'm finding it harder to spot the difference

Might as well. They've already said they're going to dump on the least fortunate. Just like Reform

One hot college girl with gothy vibes loudly asking that someone explain crypto and then feigning interest would paralyse Elon's entire coup for months... ... but we can't in good concience ask anyone to make that great a sacrifice.

Sheer naked, dogwhistle racism. "London doesn't feel like London anymore" is code for "not white enough" A diverse London is the London I lived and worked in for the best part of forty years and I loved it
