It’s extremely ironic that they changed the Department of Defense’s name to the Department of War but can’t admit it when they launch a war.

Women of Cambridge This is just a short excerpt about your blog.

Given recent research findings I need to add to this: some of the women who made modern Cambridge lostcambridge.wordpress.com/women_of_cam...

#LostCambridge hero Eglantyne Jebb of Save the Children. Before setting up the charity with her sister Dorothy Buxton, Eglantyne researched and wrote the first social scientific survey of poverty in Cambridge in the town's history.

Tom Kerridge, "Immigration is constantly used by political parties for masking years and years of underfunding in infrastructure, health, housing, employment, education" #BBCQT

"It is not the fault of immigration, it's the fault of poor spending, poor money management"

Labour's Heidi Alexander, "I think, for a lot of people, in a lot of parts of the country, they will still see the Labour party as the party to stop the toxicity and division of Reform UK"

Labour logic: the party that came third will be the party to stop the party that came second? 🤦‍♂️

Sir John Curtice says that Keir Starmer's chances of surviving as leader after May 7th have been diminished

Labour MP Rachael Maskell, "This is the final warning for Prime Minister Keir Starmer"

"Labour has lost it's roots"

"Some of the negative social media campaigning from Labour was quite abhorrent'

Just a gif of the EU flag projected onto the London Eye as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's London's New Year's Day fireworks 😀

The UK is £90 billion a year poorer because of Brexit i.e. tax rises and spending cuts, it's absurd

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

Heartbreak for Team GB as Canada take men’s curling gold on last stone * Great Britain 6-9 Canada * Mouat’s side take silver after falling short in last end Sometimes the silvers you win feel more like the golds you lose. After an excruciatingly tense three-hour final, there’s no doubt which way Bruce Mouat and the British men’s curling team will see this one. They were beaten 9-6 by Canada, in a game that took several twists and turns on its way to the very last stone of the 10th end. It is their second Olympic silver medal, after the one they won when they lost to Sweden in Beijing in 2022. After 10 days of competition, the Olympic title is still the one thing in the sport that this world champion team haven’t won, and that will sting. The British rink had the better start. They forced Canada to settle for one from the 1st end, even though they had last stone advantage. But Grant Hardie is a gnarly competitor and he and his team worked their way into a 4-3 lead at halfway with a couple of double take-outs in the 3rd and 5th ends. In the 4th, when Britain had the hammer, they were made to play the same clearing shot four times in a row, before Hardie finally nailed it. Then Mouat missed with his penultimate stone, which clipped his own guard on its way home. Continue reading...

How Scotland's front pages reported Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest

Here's how Scotland's front pages reported on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest 👇

How Reuters captured the photo of former Prince Andrew leaving custody Slumped in the back seat of his Range Rover, a visibly shaken man once referred to as the "Playboy Prince" stares ahead of him as the car leaves Aylsham police station in Norfolk, England.

The entire world has seen the photograph - Phil Noble is the Reuters photographer who took it.

Slumped in the back seat of his Range Rover, a visibly shaken man once referred to as the ‘Playboy Prince’ stares ahead of him as the car leaves Aylsham police station in Norfolk, England. The photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble, went viral reut.rs/4tLxvbt

The front pages of the Daily Mail, Sun, Independent, Daily Star, Daily Record, Daily Mirror, Times, Daily Express and Daily Telegraph. All show the photo of the pedo Prince looking like he’s seen the devil himself - hiding in the back seat of his car as he’s driven away from the police station yesterday. A truly beautiful collage of consequence.

I can’t remember the last time a single photo dominated the front page of every major newspaper in the UK.

Phil Noble of Reuters, take a bow.
