O tempora! O mores! A short time line:
1920: Qualification in Greek ceases to be compulsory for Oxford
1960: Qualification in Latin ceases to be compulsory for Oxford
2026: Government considers making qualification in English Language a requirement for student loans.

We havent had the impact of the spike in fertiliser pricing on food come through yet. For one.INFLATION STEADY at 2.8%With Brent Oil back down at $78, it does seem the fears of a widespread inflation shock akin to 2022 were wide of the mark.
Second month it has defied the gloom and doom merchants despite massive Global headwinds.
For the second successive month dimwit MEL loses his stride and reads the wrong script on early morning Media.
For god sake put him and the Leader out of their abject misery!
We dont yet have peace or supply resumed. Just an agreement to talk and we have Israel actively trying to scupper it.
Today’s news is good and welcome but it’s not over yet.

The yacht was under power and the Krivak wasn't apparently. If that were true then Sid and Doris Bonkers would be the "give way" vessel and the Russians would have been "stand on". It's the responsibility of both parties to avoid a collision which they did so the small arms fire worked."Steam gives way to sail". Have the Russians not read their old friend Arthur Ransome?I see the MoD have decided to play down the Frigate incident.Is it any wonder, all the morons clutching their pearls at fact that a Russian frigate fired a few blanks to save a pair of doddery English retirees, who had ignored all signals up to then, from getting run over.

Did this get any publicity a couple of days ago ?
The UK and Japan are expected to agree investment creating tens of thousands of new jobs and more than £18 billion in economic gains, alongside a new partnership at the forefront of next-generation technologies.

It's actually not insignificant.
Starmer can't buy decent publicity at the moment.

Streeting makes clear he will challenge Starmer next week, if Burnham wins and Starmer doesn't decide to resign over the weekend.

He's doing Burnham a big favour both in wielding the knife, and immediately precipitating the contest, as Burnham now has no need to worry about the timing or the optics of making the challenge himself.
I wonder if there's any coordination and/or if he's expecting something in return ?

I see the MoD have decided to play down the Frigate incident.Reading the account of the pair in the Yacht I suspect it was all a bit overblown.
They dont deny that the Russian Ship followed Global procedures with Horn signals, repeated them twice and tried to contact them on radio, when that failed they fired shots IN TO THE AIR to warn them!
Had they been smashed in to by the Russian ship, even if their fault can you imagine the outcry!

Jordan have just equalised against Austria.
What a night. Mbappe and Haaland score two each but even then are upstaged by Messi's hat trick.
