For those that can’t remember tiny bits of news from September 2025:
Lord Mandelson failed security services vetting & agency officials went on the record saying Mandelson was a bad idea.
This was ignored by UK Gov/PM.

This Wednesday I will attend the Joint Committee on Human Rights in order to give evidence about the human rights implications of the Chagos agreement. I look forward particularly to meeting Professor Philippe Sands.

Great reporting from the Jones lad, as there are absolutely no methodological issues with data from an interested party, derived from few people in concentrated geographic areas who are willing to answer the door to canvassers and tell them, to their face, how their entire household will be voting.

A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads!
Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so this jar would have been a precious possession.
From Merit’s beauty case, found inside Theban tomb (TT8) of Merit and her husband Kha in 1906. 📷 Museo Egizio

Serious question, but you know me, I'm sure I'll laugh at a funny, but I am looking for good ideas...
What actor would you love to see doing a role that is totally out of character for them.
