Nothing says "Britain's most festive man" like his face.

They really need to be joined in the action by the Locals Against Carbon Emissions Yoke group.

I didn't have the head of the IEA reversing Brexit on my bingo card - but here he is on Twitter suggesting all post-1997 legislation should be repealed. Also on his list
* Equal Marriage and Civil Partnerships
* The various Terrorism acts
* The sex offenders register

A lot is going on in this post (whole post, but identifying material has been removed to avoid a pile-on).

Apparently our '80s extension is insufficiently warm.

This is a very odd Tweet from Sadiq Khan's office. 100 million free school meals being needed feels like an indictment not a cause for celebration.

That looks remarkably similar to the use of transgender in British English as a whole. I don't disagree about media coverage being overwhelmingly negative but it is also true that this is a 21st century 'debate'

God, I wish I'd said that.

What on earth happened to Noah Smith? I'm sure that 5 years ago he would not have written such tendentious tosh as this.

Sidebar 1: There are multiple direct flights a day from Dublin to Paris.

Luna regrets to inform Daphne that his human has failed to provide the requested second breakfast as yet.

It is also striking that the data for the school singled out by the Mail shows that 76% of EAL pupils reach the expected standard in English & Maths. This is 1/4 (15% points) *higher* than the England average of 61%. Source www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/10094...
