Robert Jenrick has been voted Britain’s sexiest male politician, according to the annual poll by a dating site for married people seeking affairs. IllicitEncounters.com conducted a major survey of 2,000 women, who were asked to rate 50 of the most famous and culturally relevant men across public life on a scale of 1 to 10, based on sex appeal.

More rigged than the average election run by Donald Trump.
No further TRUSS news overnight?
Distinctly dodgy.
And the only reason for anyone to think I'm not the sexiest man alive is if they've seen me.
Why are we doing that? Surely it makes more sense for Finland, Norway and Sweden to focus on that. What can we meaningfully add as we don’t have the size or funding to have sufficient military kit or resources. Whilst it’s lovely that the Royal Marines do a lot of arctic warfare training etc ultimately if Europe clashes with Russia in the arctic it will need raw numbers and resources.
It highlights the constant issue where Britain seems to think it needs to do everything militarily and so we end up thinly spread.
We need to decide if we are going to do the naval lifting for Europe with specialist army provision and air defence over North Atlantic or just another land military because we can’t do it all. Every European nation needs to work out what they can best offer to the continent based on geography, money, specialisms, not just lots of small and inefficient broad spectrum forces.
The targeted adverts I've been getting since visiting that site have been 'interesting' and I am contemplating setting fire to my MacBook.
And were men allowed to vote on which men they found sexy?
Leon has in the past written about preferences revealed by dating apps. Are these consistent?
As an aside, if Rupert Lowe succeeds in winning his libel action against Farage, Anderson, et al and they end up in the poorhouse, it is worth remembering bankrupts cannot become or remain MPs.
Good morning, everybody.
Donald Trump had a colonoscopy.

When Super Mac said they’d never had it so good, people didn’t jeer. It was true.
And Jenrick is less a rent boy than a rentagob.
I think the UK probably gets the most value out of supporting them as anything else, even if it's simply a quid pro quo. Otoh, with various current threats to international trade, the Royal Navy's carriers don't look quite as silly as they did before.
It doesn’t get better than that. I know none of these names
It’s also one of those things that you have to actually practise, to do. It means that the units so trained can handle everything from normal temperatures down. And that the kit required is known and tested.
“Artic” isn’t just snow - it includes dealing with a range of cold conditions. The horror stories about boots and the Falklands come to mind.

What could possibly go wrong with sending HMS Prince of Wales to the South China Sea at a time of major geopolitical instability?
It was a snail with two shells, the other on top, and fused to, the bottom one. And before anyone says, I am pretty sure that it was not two snails copulating. The top shell was badly damaged on one side, but rather than being broken it seems to have grown deformed (or damage repaired). The patterning on the top shell matched, and aligned with, the bottom shell. There is a possibility that the damage is the remains of a third shell.
Aside from this, it seemed to look like, and sized as, a common garden snail. A quick Google doesn't seem to produce any reasons for this. Does anyone have any ideas?
China!!!
Westerners are so used to getting to China by air into Beijing Shanghai Hongkong. At most a train out of Laos or a short hop from Thailand to Yunnan
Here you get on a bus and it goes to Urumqi or Liniang. Never even heard of Liniang
Sounds like another case for intrepid investigation by TSE.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/apr/19/questions-raised-over-barbara-santini-expert-much-quoted-in-uk-press
Over the past couple of years, the Oxford-educated psychologist Barbara Santini has been widely quoted as an expert. She has contributed thoughts on everything from the psychological impact of the Covid pandemic to the importance of vitamin D and how playing darts can improve your health.
However, her pronouncements have begun to disappear from articles after concerns that Santini may not be all that she appears. Major news outlets have removed entire articles featuring Santini, or comments made by her, after a series of questions were raised over her qualifications – and even whether her entire identity could be an elaborate hoax..
..On closer inspection, her main online presence is as a sex and relationships adviser at an online sex toy outlet, Peaches and Screams. Some of the articles featuring her include a link to the store. Her qualifications are described there as “psychologist and sex adviser – University of Oxford”. However, the British Psychological Society (BPS) said she was not one of its members. She does not appear to have social media profiles, though she has two followers on the blogging site Medium...
Have I got establishment views for you.
I doubt if there is any sport where men's physiology does not give them an advantage.
And if there is such a sport then there is no need to have women's and men's categories at all. Just one competition where all participate. So the question of excluding groups would not arise.
But - forgive the cynicism - what we have instead is second or third rate sportsmen who can't win in the male category declare themselves women and proceed to cheat women out of places, prizes, opportunities and money/sponsorship opportunities.
Lijiang, though, looks well worth visiting:

A first for me this am, two squirrels (grey natürlich) copulating in the garden. Not sure how I feel about that.
And anyone who thinks something like eventing or jumping isn’t a sport has clearly done neither.

Snooker? Some have suggested breasts might get in the way but there are small-breasted women and, in the past, large-gutted men. Male superiority with a cue probably reflects that only a few men were dedicated enough to spend hours a night in smoky snooker halls learning their trade.
Likewise shooting and darts – I've suggested before that supplying free dartboards to every girls' school in the land might be the easiest way to produce female Luke Littlers. Young women generally don't want to hang about in pubs chucking arrows.
The point is that men's superior performance does not always reflect physiological advantages, even if it usually does. Environment and upbringing matter too.
Those buses are going to Yining
I’ve certainly never heard of Yining so it’s even better

Then the husband saying “god you are right, that’s just utter madness, sorry for doubting you darling.”
And…
“Almaliq was originally one of Karluk cities in the Turkic Kaganates. It is known from the accounts of the Persian historians and Chinese travelers of the Mongol era (13th to 15th centuries), in particular the 13th-century Daoist Qiu Chuji (Chang Chun).
According to the travel notes of Genghis Khan's chief adviser Yelü Chucai, the city of Almaliq was situated between the Tian Shan mountains and the Ili River. There were many crab apple trees around Almalik. The native people called them "almaliq", thus giving the name to the city.
An account by a Persian historian tells that in 1211, Prince Ozar of Almaliq acknowledged the supremacy of Genghis Khan. The king was later killed by the Gurkhan of Karakitai”
Just wanted to clear that up unless some massive PB argument kicks off, and goes on and on, like the Trans debate
You assess male advantage by looking at the male body and how that affects what is physically needed in the sport. It is a scientific exercise not an assessment of how often someone practices.
Honestly, the disingenuous stupidity of some of the "arguments" is astonishing. So much utter bullshit to justify "I want, I should get".
I wouldn't trust "password protection" on it's photos for all the tea in China. You use that you're taking one hell of a risk.
Robbing Russia of the means to fund war is the surest way to end Putin's 3-day SMO.
