Editors unite to demand Parliament takes action on SLAPPs Editors from national newspapers including The Guardian and The Times demand action on SLAPPs in next King's Speech.

Really striking going through Epstein disclosures just how often British defamation lawyers are referred to: Schillings; Paul Tweed; oblique suggestions to sue to silence

Why? Because our libel laws let rich and powerful buy silence

The average winter temperature inside a British house in the early 1970s was 12C. And probably considerably colder 50, 100 or 150 years before then when more people relied on hearths. I usually find it implausible in historical movies set in eg a medieval castle if actors strip off for a sex scene πŸ₯Ά

I think Starmer tried to use this as a personal ratings opportunity booster, not exactly convincing anyone but then again how do you deal with a psychopath

The single biggest thing (in cost terms) I’ve changed my mind about is UK tuition fees. Dreadful system, need to scrap it.

A mate of mine correctly said many many years ago, instinctively suspicious of tv and radio science guy Brian Cox, "Is that cunt who tries to make physics cool?"

Also lest we forget, Scottish Labour members were the only ones to vote for Owen Smith over Corbyn in 2016. This recollection still traumatises me, they are an extremely odd bunch.

Even wilder that the statement isn't immediately supported by the other NATO and EU members.
