One of the more interesting things emerging from the recent Reform surge is that there is a clear gender divide opening up. For the three big parties in terms of seats the gender spread is between two and four percent whereas Reform there’s a 9 percent skew.

I wish Labour would just get on with it.
New Towns for a New Generation
For new towns to drive economic growth and benefit workers, they must be built to give access to high wage jobs, not as disconnected settlements. Along with urban extensions to high wage cities including York and Cambridge, and transport-driven regeneration in Manchester and Birmingham, there are promising locations near Elizabeth Line stations – particularly the underused land with low biodiversity around Taplow.

Counterpoint - Trump / Harris had a perceived gender split prior to the US election (Trump - Male, Harris - Female) and it did him no harm. It is not something the other parties should rely on.

But read somewhere that Theresa May actually gave approval for a third runway at Heathrow, yet here we still are…

Voting for Harris I mean.

You know if we're going to build a few more runways, maybe it would be intellectually consistent and growth-oriented to drill for a bit of oil and gas too
Which makes it a usefully deniable route for bribing him. A large overseas buyer, for example, could provide the opportunity to cash out.
"That's a total disgrace and it must change. So, we will bring in stronger measures to tackle knife sales online in the Crime and Policing Bill this spring."

Cooper ignores that Rudakubana murdered the girls using an ordinary kitchen knife, freely available from any kitchen, as the name suggests.
We are being played for fools.
This is something.
We are ruled by a political class of morons, whatever the party.
I never thought I would have to update that report because POTUS is pimping cryptos and NFTs from the Oval Office.

Fantastic opportunity for the Tories to all line up behind her in favour, while splitting Labour down the middle.
Say it quietly, but exactly the same happened in the UK with the company car BIK regime.
Which made a top spec’d Tesla Model S a cheap car in Norway.
Corrected, I think.
People spending an inordinate amount on a JPEG.
He was pimping that trash before getting back into the Oval Office too.
Does anyone still think the government's online identity database will be kept secure?
One of the lessons of the Nine O Clock Service in Sheffield in the early 1990s was that Chris Brain had weaker accountability in the organisational gap between being a service in a parish, and a separate parish under the Diocese, when they were trying to decide where it fitted in. In between the two his setup was more standalone, so there were not enough default support systems in place with someone obviously independent for people who needed someone to approach "out of the line" (in organisational terms).
There was all sorts of other stuff going on, but that is one basic.

8/ "When dilemmas arise in making state decisions, China's interests are the top priority. This was initially thought to be a temporary measure, but is now increasingly becoming strategically permanent.
As is usual when you have a large majority, now which way will those 200 new backbenchers fall on such issues?
The Mars project will come in at about 10% of the cost of the Birmingham project.
One day when the market bottoms out….
….A few days later a few councils admit they invested most of their reserves in crypto.
God help us all!
Some of them have an aspiration, and none of the tools required to go there are anywhere near ready. (Albeit one tool is in development).
Calling it a 'plan' is a bit like saying I have a plan to do an Ironman. It could conceivably happen, but not without a lot of planning, work and effort of a fair few years...
Trump paves the way for higher interest rates after just one day in office
New president’s flagship promises are about to start having real-world consequences for the US economy

In some major US universities, that kind of double standard has been in force, for decades, sometimes quite openly. (There's an excellent general discussion of the problems this has caused in Thomas Sowell's book, "Rhetoric or Reality".)
Oddly enough, some men have begun to resent this widespread violation of our civil rights laws, and have begun to vote against those who favor it.
There were also a few cases where someone would come in with a bundle of cash and attempt to buy one, in which case they'd be asked some fairly detailed questions about climbing or kayaking and subsequently be refused sale and escorted from the shop. We'd phone 999 if they were obviously drunk or high.
So it's not entirely mad what Cooper is saying. There are plenty of people like me providing a soft control on things.
Where did you actually see it reported that Norway is to reconsider selling electricity to Germany?
