Forgive me if I don't truly believe this until his protection officers are in the witness stand testifying against him.

As if he's such a c**t then there will be a queue to do so, especially as they are all coppers so it's literally their job.

I don't understand the lack of historical literacy about vaccines. There are numerous points in history where measles was as feared as smallpox. When it was introduced to Fiji - possibly through colonial negligence, possibly maliciously - a third of the population died.

That’s one way to mark your territory. The traitors equivalent of the reducer tackle in the first few minutes. To really get into others heads might I suggest maintaining very strong eye contact with a target while you do it.

Of course you could also go the dog route and be pissing like a trooper.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Something's brewing with NHS ADHD services. My feeling is that Wes Streeting can't quite gage the public mood, so cynically exploiting it is on hold. But consent it actively being manufactured for limiting access, so if you've been considering it, I'd advise you to get yourself in the system ASAP.

Thought I’d do a mega hread on NPR, partly because I’ve seen some London based commentary that doesn’t really get the bigger picture quite right imho

He rubbed shoulders with Oasis and Stone Roses, now he's launching a festival "The thrill of the new is a wonderful thing and that feeling when you know you have just seen the future cannot be beaten"

Can't precisely remember who said it but fairly certain I saw someone say "He gets where water can't" about this guy recently

Evidence for the prosecution your honour.

I think it would be really nice if the foreign and domestic policy desks of the Telegraph could have a chat about what politics they support. The conversation might surprise them!
