Every 4th of July, with absolutely no reference to the treasonous event, the House of Lords cafeteria does cheeseburgers, skinny fries, and Mac and Cheese.
Perhaps the best letter I’ve read in a long time is the incredibly cordial one penned by a young Winston Churchill, notifying his captors during the Boer War of his escape.
@DrHoenderkamp
If you don’t answer that you think it’s “unsafe to socialise with an unvaccinated person”, it won’t let you into the real poll. Selection Bias.
It sticks you in a separate poll with totally different results. In the, separate poll, the vast majority vote for insane restrictions.
I am aware that no Mac and Cheese is pictured. To clarify, this is a separate available dish (the vegetarian option). The side on the plate is coleslaw.
If vaccine passports worked in Scotland and Wales, we would have expected to see:
1.) an faster increase in vaccination rates there than in England
2.) a significant relative reduction in cases.
Neither has happened. The U.K. evidence simply does not back their use in England.
@DrHoenderkamp
Make sure you select that you think it’s “unsafe” to socialise with the unvaccinated. Crazy, yes. But otherwise it drops you into a fake poll with different results:
They only want answers from those they already agree with…

Second time this has come up on twitter. I grew up in Düsseldorf. We built a (fairly expensive) tunnel. It’s a great tunnel, but important context.
We didn’t just scrap cars, we found a smart solution that incorporated them below ground.
I do not understand parliamentary procedure with any detail knowledge but I know delaying tactics and slow downs when I see them and the Tories were desperate to do it today.

This is a very good and important piece. It may be worth considering whether it should be paywalled. Paying people for their writing is vital, but many of those who most need to read this don’t subscribe to The Atlantic.

If plagiarism checkers were the first frontier in destroying the PhDs of EU politicians, then AI used to check footnotes on mass will probably be the next one.
Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg was once considered the next German Chancellor until his PhD was found to be plagiarised.

No time frame given and not how milk prices work. This is a poorly researched question and contributes to a flawed understanding of inflation.
The most “correct” answer in this case would be “don’t know”.
This is not how milk prices behave and showcases a poor understanding of inflation not by the public but by Peston or the pollsters, inadvertently contributing to financial innumeracy.
ONS farm-gate & retail milk data shows changes are not equal to CPI (which is a weighted avg).
Very powerful speech from Miriam Cates MP earlier defending female-only spaces, science, and the Government blocking the absurd Scottish Gender Reform Bill.

If it can’t survive without a “constant increase” in immigration (now at over 400,000 international students coming in pa), then it needs fundamental reform.
It’s unhelpful and childish to patronise those who’ve noticed this and are proposing constructive change as monsters.
Unmatched, invaluable soft power.
No other leader in the world gets this sort of welcome, especially American Presidents.
Even a Republic like France loves The King.
Literally none of what she said means anything. What does this mean? It’s just random comms babble.
There is no thought or even the beginnings of policy in any of this.

UCU strikes don’t work and that’s the fault of a self indulgent UCU, not students pointing out its flaws.

Nice. “London Economics“ have form for this, they’ve produce similar stuff for the higher Ed lobby in the past: purporting to show a big benefit on the basis of dodgy underlying assumptions or making it up.

No Glen, there’s isn’t a £37 billion “income”, or at least there really isn’t much good evidence beyond one dodgy claim.

If inflation is going to be over 10%, it’s only fair we go full 70s and have men in hats drinking whilst chain smoking in airport departure lounges again.

Please accept my apologies, I should have been more clear. The Mac and Cheese is available separately as the vegetarian option. This photo features the coleslaw side.

I wish people would defend it more, it provided effective and targeted support to hospitality at decent cost.

My understanding is that the mask mandate in Italy is being dropped? There was no vaccine mandate when I visited recently?
Can you explain this fully?

Yes, they walked away, she didn’t so they asked her to walk on.
She wasn’t arrested, she wasn’t removed from the overall area. The police did their jobs.

No. What matters is what the law was. The entire argument here is the the police were biased in their interpretation.
You claimed regs provided a broad excuse, they only did for leaving home, not for *gatherings* were there was an exhaustive list that did not allow protest.
@Samfr
@s8mb
@edwest
This is incorrect. The restrictions were always quite clear on outdoor gatherings (both in the original March version and June) long before 28 Aug regs.
There was no vague "reasonable excuse". A specific list of excuses was provided, and protesting for BLM was not one of them.
@ReemAmirIbrahim
You know full well you are gaslighting. A war cry is a cry screamed as you go into war (or in this case slaughter innocents). This meets that description.

Whilst the photo of the ticket has been taken without showing “Club World” it does show the seat number (3K) which is always first or business on all BA flights from London to NYC and certainly is business (Club World) on the 777-236ER (G-YMMF) on that flight (BA 2273) today.
It’s 60 years today since perhaps the defining day in post war British pop-culture.

This is the mentioned directive. The Wiener Post was mainly funded by companies having to publish in print certain major announcements, the directive banned this.

Absolutely, it’s immediately been used as an excuse by my university (KCL) to impose new rules on students, far out of the scope of the actual government legislation.

This is silly. Eat Out to Help Out was a great campaign and I’ve seen no evidence that I caused a spike in deaths, rather the timeline suggests the opposite.
No surprise this comes from the Guardian…
Rough! The letter from the Clerk of the House appears to disagree with the Speaker’s decision to let Labour go first “represents a departure from long-established convention”.
“I feel compelled to point out that long-established conventions are not being followed in this case”.
Attacking a candidate for their views (or lack thereof) is fair.
The suggestion, however, that people in their 20s who contribute a decent and increasingly large % of tax revenue should not be represented in Parliament simply because of their age needs to stop.
I may be a ‘silly sod’ or a ‘twit’ - both of those are valid.
But I also don’t think voters really want people who’ve spent more time at university than in a job, who get dropped in to a constituency, inserted with a party chip and parrot party lines. Glad to have stoked debate.
Parliament’s cult-like obsession with Jerk Chicken still gets me.
Has to be served in every Commons cafeteria simultaneously — after people *hunted* down and crowded any one venue that had it.
Everyone’s had it countless times, but we all somehow return every time it’s on.
Why is the Telegraph writing an obvious hit piece against the Lords & pushing SNP propaganda?
The last paragraph makes clear the headline is massively misleading. You’d expect this from “The National”. It’s gutter stuff.
