The odds continue to lengthen for the Education Secretary to win the deputy leadership contest, she has just three weeks to turn this around.

And first...
Police know identity of suspect
I don't care about the murderer. I hope he rots in Hell.
I also have a thread pointing out 51 years ago a Powell helped Labour win a general election, could Lucy be the new Enoch?
The Tories should fear her.
ETA: Four Lions got to the stupidity of this. I feel mainly for the victims, of course. But the perpetrator, what a stupidly futile thing to do. It does bugger all for any cause.
"Not really the time or the place" springs to mind.
Funny thing is, I knew a real life Barry, from London.
He regularly used to chastise me for not being a good Muslim, the zeal of a convert is never good.
Edit Chris Morris explained Barry was based on a real life guy who was in the BNP who regularly used to attack Muslims, then he decided to learn the Quran so he could mock the Muslims he was assaulting but ended up converting himself.
And it could have been much worse. The terrorist created a commotion by crashing their car, which drew the attention of the Rabbi who promptly barricaded the door of the Synagogue. Thankfully, many of these terrorists don't seem to be very bright.
I'd delay until tomorrow out of respect, but crack on thereafter.
Another question I have for Mr Farage is: "when you become PM and relax handgun laws, will you take personal responsibility for future mass killings by nutters of all ethnicities?"
What's worse is that I can imagine him posting these incredible passages from the Quran that only he had discovered.
One thing we British failed to address about for decades was the radicalising effect of support of Mosques and provision of Imams by the competing religious establishments of Iran and Saudi.
The shoe bomber was a convert.
Also in Trumpistan, some (I have not counted how many) of the senior people are also converts or radicalised as adults. Vance and Hegseth are two such.
In this country the same applies to Danny Kruger, who was an adult convert at the time he met his wife.
It does not mean that particular people will turn to violence, but it does mean they have a relatively narrow base, and may be more vulnerable to different kinds of radicalisation, and to reject things that they perceive as being associated with the former version of themselves.
It speaks to the need of careful discipling of converts, and exposure to different views. That can only be voluntary of course, but needs to include a broadening, rather than a coaxing further down the rabbit hole for more thorough indoctrination.
That is a human process which operates in any political, religious or ideological group, and is imo how a maturity of view is developed.
After she stopped working there it all went Pete Tong.
I can't think of any (UK) terrorists who have been Shia, basically all of them have been Sunni, and worshiped at Mosques funded by Saudi Arabia.
A Sky reporter has just referred to the terrorist attack on the Manchester mosque. FFS.
Processing times for online A1 forms – which allow emigrants to work on the continent without paying double National Insurance – should take no longer than 15 days.
But applicants desperate to move to their new base have been stuck in limbo for more than half a year.

At rate of one in one out scheme, that will takes about 27 years to do swaps.
Most of human existence takes place in a horizontal plane. We are a gravity-affected species and move flatly. Our eyes ae next to each other, rather than one on top of each other. Olympic diving and fireworks: portrait is fine. And portraits. But for anything else, landscape.
What really bugs me is people taking pictures of an actual landscape in portrait. The clue is in the name.
I also think there's going to be a lot of thinly veiled "they deserved it" and "they brought it on themselves" articles written, though hopefully not by any major publication.
There’s rumours of a counter protest by those aligned to Tommy Robinson.
I finished work at 2 today (long planned) but the whole office was told they could leave early today.
Which idiot ennobled this idiot?

But generally, for video, portrait almost never works. The vast majority of movement filmed is horizontal rather than vertical.
I do feel a little bit sorry for Michie and Dougie. They will uniquely carry the can for Boris Johnson's dodgy friends and family fast track grift.
At the other extreme, the loaf of bread I once bought in Indianapolis and drove round the Midwest for ten days in a hot car, without a spot of mould ever appearing on it, was just scary.
