Absolutely Brilliant.
I was one of 12 people who took part in a workshop with Benjamin way back in my distant past. He was a light. The fact that you chose this days so much good stuff about you.

Thank you.

Zack Polanski to be interviewed by BBCโ€™s Laura Kuenssberg after โ€˜anti-Green biasโ€™ complaints Polanski did not appear on Kuenssberg's show at his party's conference, but the interview has now been rescheduled amid complaints

Spent an hour on and off with Spotify online support just trying to find out where to file feedback re: ICE ads. After asking what the feedback was, all four reps ended the chat immediately when I mentioned ICE. This has to be direction from above. Save your time and just cancel now.

Answers like this tend to forget there are 20 million people with long covid and over 100m with conditions that significantly increase risk from covid. Much easier to suggest anyone masking is crazy than like, admitting maybe they donโ€™t want their heart failure to be worse. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Terrific piece this. Continue to find it bizarre how little โ€œfood inflation is off the chainโ€ and โ€œcore inflation is above targetโ€ featured as topics at Labour conference or more broadly as โ€œtheories to why the government is unpopularโ€.

โ€œYou should not give assistants access to personnel files unless they are part of the authorized personnel, as this is a significant privacy and legal risk. Access should be strictly limited to those with a "need to know," such as HR staff and immediate supervisorsโ€.

Spot on.
I very much doubt Clarrie, Eddie and Ed have ever spend 6:30-7:00 on a weekday evening, listening to Radio 4 and critiquing the comedy half-hour they have to endure before their rural soap begins.

Yes
Quite.
He was unwise and subsequently cruelly stupid in his cowardice, but it wasnโ€™t all rooted in malice or selfishness.

Contrast that with the actions of Archers/Aldridges/Elliots who will never get their beds pissed on.

Starmer and Labour's failure is having a direct impact on the Welsh general election, and the prospects for an independence referendum.

Left wing voters in Wales, and anyone who doesn't want a fascist party to seize power, have been left with a choice of one party.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control
