I suspect I'm on the same medication as you at the moment.

My immediate reaction, though, is if maps of Hookland on handkerchiefs are not a thing, then make them one. You can just sell plain white handkerchiefs - "look carefully, and there you will see Hookland, lair of the unknown".

It won't be. It will be for whoever the voters think can beat Reform - and they've become pretty good at working that out.

(And PS to that I don't think pollsters have properly factored in how general vehement distaste for Reform is changing voters' behaviour.)

Yes, I assume that too, which shows how far removed from real life that judge is because you can't be that stupid innocently.

High Court judge said there had been "no bad faith"????? You have to be wilfully stupid to rely on ChatGPT. The judge needs to be taken aside and given a talking to.

Libdems do say that, Steve, and have been for some time. Where have you been for the last ten years?

They also tell quite barefaced lies. The last letter I got said "Our records show there has been a change of circumstances". After a bit of back and forth, they admitted they not only had no evidence of a change, they actually had no records.

Is he actually better educated, as in learning how to think critically, or did he just go to a more expensive school?

Hospices are at breaking point as staff lose jobs and beds close. Families shouldn’t pay the price.

The Government must act now to protect children’s hospice funding, reverse the £34 million NI hike, and make sure funding meets local needs.

Moira Buffini: Songlight

A reader writes: enthralling.

Book cover. The background is deep black. There is a shield like pattern with a gold eight pointed star at its centre and a blue woven edge with points north south east and west, and gold stars. Inside the edge is a riot of shapes outlining a stormy sea, black flames with gold edges, blue clouds and water, and a female face, black with gold edging.

Text: Songlight. They are hunting those who shine. Moira Buffini.

I agree he's practised and he's paid attention and worked to improve. But I think most people would interpret the initial post the way I did.

Maybe the word "trained" in the OP is misleading? It implies that he's done 3 years at RADA, perfecting how to perform feeling that is not there. As far as I can see, there's no evidence that he is actually "trained". I would have said "experienced" - might have elicited different responses, maybe.

For the first time ever, Young Carers supporting parents with a severe mental illness will get the help they desperately need.

A young carer called it "the safety net we always wished existed".

So proud of @AlisonEBennett.bsky.social for her work with @CarersTrust.bsky.social
