FIRST: There are some incredibly brilliant and caring people in the world.
SECOND: They are VASTLY outnumbered.

Starmer has zero convincing arguments for a £1.6bn policy that wasn’t in the manifesto. But if you’re a billionaire Silicon Valley bro - as Blair’s financial patron, Larry Ellison is - building a centralised database has many enticing possibilities

Given that one of Trumps favourite insults is "Low IQ person" can some reporter please explain to him that IQ can actually be measured and tell him to take a proper IQ test rather than a dementia (cognitive) test.
