Look how visibly excited Robert Jenrick is by his brilliance as a statesman; how high on his own supply.
It is astonishing that this bitter, angry, talentless bingo-caller is considered a serious prospect in a major party. If he or Badenoch are the best they can do, what does it say about the rest?

Oh dear Chris. And BBC.
Think we’ll all go with the OBR official, rather than you and your unprofessional biased nonsense.
Feel free to issue an apology and have a bit of a think. Maybe about the years of barely scrutinised *Tory* policies that got us into this mess.

I’m not so naïve to think that AI will go away when the AI bubble bursts (after all the Internet didn’t go away when the dot com bubble burst). But it is really sad that such an unreliable, unethical, and massively polluting technology is embraced by so many.

D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack. Doesn't this negate the effectiveness of the Guard being in DC if they need bodyguards, or am I missing something?

D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack
If enacted on a long-term basis, the change would significantly shift the way National Guard troops have worked with law enforcement in the District since their arrival.

I know a bully when I see one.
And all the bullies I went to school with turned out to be nasty abusive adults in the home and the workplace.
I'm 64 now and I still recognise the type. They are the bigoted, boreish racists who are the backbone of Reform.
