... or his private health provider? In my very limited experience of private health, during the pandemic when the NHS was overwhelmed, they never miss an opportunity to make more money by referring you to another specialist, another test and/or another treatment. Never again private!
David Cameron has had focal treatment for prostate cancer
Good thing that he found it early
Quiz part 1: who prompted him to get checked?
a) The NHS?
b) His GP?
c) His wife?

Obviously. Even the most superficial scrutiny would reduce its credibility to zero or less.

No, it was a cock-up. According to tradition, Russians must send their Xmas wish letters to Santa on the 4th December. Not only was this 28-point begging letter sent early, but it was sent to the White House, not to Santa's correct address: "House of Santa Claus, Vologda Region, 162390 Russia".
Is Trump's 28-point plan to end the Ukraine War final or was it just Putin's first draft? #MAGAIsADisease

There appears to be some confusion here. This 28-point plan should have been sent to the "House of Santa Claus, Vologda Region, 162390 Russia,", not the White House.
WELKER: Was this 28 point plan written by Russia?

Hot off the press 11 announcements that will positively touch the lives of ordinary people throughout the UK. All made in the last 5 days. Labour remain focused on driving down the cost of living and securing investment and jobs across the UK. 👏👏👏

It's socialism for clapped-out politicians.
Conveniently at her 5 year mark, which means she becomes eligible for a Congressional pension.

Colonizing another planet is the half-baked delusion of a self-proclaimed genius. Hell on earth is heavenly compared with a good day on Mars!
Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.
If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

... & insurance? Insurance is socialism where members pay regular premiums into a shared fund that may only be accessed by members in need. The difference with pure socialism is profit, profit, profit.

It's about time that Russian interference in British politics was taken seriously. For goodness sake, we even have the Russian owner of the Independent and Evening Standard newspapers in the House of Lords, nominated by Boris Johnson without giving any formal rationale for his appointment.
UK PM Keir Starmer has demanded an investigation into Reform’s Russia links after the party's ex-Wales leader was jailed, Sky News reports.

Why tomorrow? Why wait?
All those journalists - led by Kuenssberg and Peston - who cheer-led Boris Johnson into Number 10 should be hanging their heads in shame today, and retiring tomorrow.

It's not as simple as that. AI systems produce digital bile by converting high-grade energy in the form of electricity to low-grade energy in the form of heat, the thermodynamic consequence being a massive increase in the entropy of the universe.

That's unfair. Any girl would be attracted, if not overwhelmed, by the allure of this handsome alpha-male & his seductive aroma of sweat, fags & stale beer.
Did Labour MPs ever imagine that they would be ending the first period of their first government in more than 14 years with their own Home Secretary feeling the need to publicly deny that she plans to defect to Reform?

Age is an issue of law. In the USA, the law defines the age of consent as 18 years. In the UK for example, it is 16, but in either jurisdiction, sex with a person younger than the age of consent is rape. I repeat: sex with a person younger than the age of consent is rape.
The Catholic League's response to the Epstein files? Arguing technicalities over the ages of the victims.

Yep, I recognise that story, but far more devastating than getting papers rejected is getting research grant proposals rejected. Not only does the review process take longer, but the reasons for rejection are often flimsy & appeals ineffective.
Paper gets 2 positive reviews & 1 very critical one
Authors work very very hard on R&R
Journal sends it back to critical reviewer (only) and 1 new reviewer
Critical reviewer is quite positive about revision
New reviewer is negative
Editor sits on reviews for 1 month, then rejects
Authors sad

So did they pay a ton of money for a trip to Epstein Island, unaware that the raping of children was part of the deal? Wow!
Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

More mindless Starmer-bashing. Labour is implementing the manifesto it got elected on & finding solutions to control our borders. You cannot have fair immigration until you control your borders & that includes dealing with migrants who illegally pay criminal gangs to smuggle them in.

What is a disgrace is validating Fartage's empty-headed bigotry with sensible policies that address real problems in the real world.
Nigel Farage is actually quoted as saying that the Home Secretary ‘sounds like a Reform supporter’ with these horrible policies. She probably thinks that’s a good thing - most right minded people think it’s a disgrace.
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

I’m pro immigration. I vote Labour. I support a strong approach to our borders. I also support safe routes for those fleeing war torn countries. Asylum must be fair to all. I trust Labour to get the balance right. It may take a few iterations. It beats anything Reform advocate

You can make technical arguments until hell freezes over, but Scotland is different & Scottish Independence is essential, both for Scotland's culture & heritage & for sovereignty after the anti-democratic imposition of Brexit by the Westminster government.
OK, you lose the subsidy, the UK single market, legacy monetary and fiscal policy reputations and the lower cost of financing that affords. But you get to re-converge with EU [probably], avoid mass deportations, culture war on higher education, systemic corruption, etc.
