"inflation has gone down, why this is bad news for The Chancellor"- Chris Mason probably.

Lana Del Rey is probably the most influential artist of the twenty-first century. Taylor Swift may outsell her, but she does not possess the same artistic influence. Swift is more popular, but popularity and artistic influence are two entirely separate concepts.

An example of why I actually don't think banning social media for under sixteens is a solution, I am equally concerned about the adults who believe what some rando says on the Internet over the scientific experts.

They made a mistake over PIP, but it this is good to see.

There is a video of Keir Starmer giving Rachel Reeves pancakes, and I have to say, I am a little obsessed.

One person who I omitted from my reply is a man named, Andy Pennington, who was killed trying to protect his MP. Staff work extremely hard, whether that be assisting with case loads, or making sure MPs are safe. Let's not forget them.

That is awful, to be honest I'm only across events that have happened in the past ten years. That is devastating.

A shocking indictment of society at the moment. We've had two MPs sadly murdered in the past decade, and I can imagine that the level of abuse has only got worse since then.

It was badly handled, I agree. I appreciate your retraction, not many people are prepared to do that these days.

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

*screams into a void*. Why is nobody talking about this?

Force everyone to do a Latin GCSE.

That would require effort, so I wouldn't bank on it.

There have been no cuts.

Parents are rightly concerned about the impact of children's access to social media, but I am equally concerned about the impact that adults' going on social media has on children. There are people out there who don't vaccinate their children because some guy on the Internet said "VaCciNEs BaD".

Can people stop playing Reform's game by referring to his team as a shadow cabinet? For it to be a shadow cabinet, Reform would need to be the largest opposition party. They only have eight MPs. Stop entertaining their nonsense.

True.

If Lisa Nandy could do something about the state of the media, that would be grand.

Ed Davey is really starting to get on my nerves.

And as for Ed Davey, a Liberal Democrat council as an example, asked for a delay, and he has the temerity to call it a screeching U-turn...

Reform have eight MPs. Reform are not the main opposition party, ergo that makes Robert Jenrick a Treasury Spokesperson not Shadow Chancellor. The Telegraph, proving yet again that they don't know how things work.

Okay then...

The Greens do the same to Labour all of the time.

It all depends on context, it does sound sinister on paper, but context is key. I champion a free press that holds people to account, but when the media went after Reeves over her childhood chess title, can they blame anybody for being cynical towards them?

The same media that tried to get Rachel Reeves over chess?

Disability and LGBT hate crimes set to become aggravated offences The proposed change has been set out in an amendment to the government's Crimes and Policing Bill.

Yep.

In Bristol, they've slashed future council house projects, and have had the temerity to take credit for those built as a result of the previous Labour council.

I put my Substack articles through ChatGPT, and it insists I use too many abstract nouns and that my sentences are too dense for the average reader. Am I going to stop using abstract nouns? Absolutely not.

I maintain that she is exactly the sort of person who could start a fight in an empty room and still lose.

What, you mean she will make gaffes, David?
