Trump's failed peacekeeping envoy is either incompetent or amoral Witless Steve Witkoff - who has said he 'liked' Vladimir Putin and didn't 'regard him as a bad guy' - is this week trying to negotiate a historic deal

I don’t see this as being an either / or. 😐

I’m very confused by this. How would you transport a ruler that’s 1,200km long from the shop to wherever you want to use it? Or does it just measure how far things are from the shop?

Matt Goodwin, Reform candidate, says β€˜Reform will give incentives to women who have more children and will penalise those who don’t. Change is coming’

So many responses come to mind - most of them expletives.

So I’m going to start with Reform’s own argument: I thought Britain was full?

Jaywalking, which does not exist in the UK, is another way in which cars are given priority and create spaces that are hostile to pedestrians.

If we value mixed modes of transport and want to encourage less car use, we have to create the environment for that.

I think it's wrong to describe the World Service as "soft power". It's actually "info power". And these days that's a very hard form of power indeed.

It’s weird to me that they know there are huge dangers associated with this technology, but instead of pausing to think about how the risks can be mitigated, they purposely plan to launch it when there will be the least pushback.

I have actually now read this & you are correct. But there are problems & associated debate with how the law is defined and enacted. E.g. the anti-migrant riots last year appear to fall under the definition of terrorism, but were not treated as such. These are muddy waters.

To be fair, who amongst us hasn’t toyed with buying a Β£2m apartment, signed some paperwork and then forgotten about it?

Good. We absolutely not should be giving Palantir access to our data.

The stark contrast is set to raise a simple but incendiary question: who is truly paying for Britain?
Racist POS Ratcliffe, or people coming here from all over the world helping to build Britain? #UKNews
