Robert Jenrick attacks 'activist' judges in conference speech The shadow justice secretary says the Tories would hand ministers a bigger role in appointing judges.

‘Activist judges’?

These people are so lacking in imagination they’re even stealing Trump’s most stupid tropes. What next? A red baseball cap?

I work in IT, had a manager show me an AI he wanted to deploy. I refused to unless it could successfully play 20 questions and guess an animal correctly. Its been a week and I haven't heard from him since. Try it, it never works.

To-night I am going to clean my briefcase again, and then perhaps go to the discotheque and have an early night I hope.

Downsized to a smaller house. Found a mouse and, one day, humanely caught it. He was so cute. I ended up feeding and then freeing him. Now he pops up at least once a day to politely ask for food, and he trusts me enough to stroke him too. I named him Jerry, of course.

I always say "bless you" to random people when they sneeze. This has led to me sleeping with two strangers. It's a great ice breaker

The Harvest moon was vast and gold over Old Fox's Dorset, soaring over the banks of Michaelmas daisies, over bramble and oak, thatch and hurdle, chalk and flint, plough and apple and earth. Walking from Stinsford, where he'd attended a concert in the church, Old Fox stood still in the water meadows and watched in wonder, moved to tears. As a Classical fox, old hymns to Selene came to mind, and he spoke them there, in the damp fields by the Frome, just as they had been spoken many, many centuries ago on the very same mead on the very same eve by a sharp-eyed civic fox of Durnovaria.

Teenage boy in East London: I don't want to go to the party.
Teenage girl: I want you there.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in Birmingham neighbourhood Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on short visit

In the past, this would be grounds for a sacking

In a decent world, it would be grounds for a sacking

Will Jenrick face any consequences?

This is exactly the sort of attitude we need to fight back against. Who will say this is wrong?
