Love the sixth one.
Thoroughly enjoying Rosindell getting roasted for 23 grand in costs at the High Court. What a silly man.
An MP has lost a High Court bid to be let back into his old constituency office after being locked out following his defection from the Conservatives to Reform UK.
Andrew Rosindell, who has represented Romford in east London since 2001, defected in January and was later locked out of the constituency office he had occupied at Margaret Thatcher House.

Cost of full tank of diesel up £21.35 since the start of the war
These costs are going to filter through to so much in our economy and nobody knows how much higher they will go
Model of Car?
Location and Filling Station?
It seems to me that it's fair to say you want to restore Britain's constitutional norms if you want to restore Britain's constitutional norms, but if you actually want to pick and choose, you don't mind scrapping some constitutional norms, you actively want to change some constitutional norms, and what you mean about restoring Britain's constitutional norms is actually about specific Acts under New Labour, then it's a little bit misleading to say you want to restore Britain's constitutional norms. Why not just say you don't like those Acts rather than pretending it's part of a broader conservatism? It seems like you're just trying to make your preference seem grander.
Slightly out of date article:

There will still be jobs in the AI world, at least until the autonomous robots rise...

Not that it matters as I’m sure you’ll be limited to 37p anyway
Makes the diesel rise seem very modest.
He appears to have been very lucky with regard to the costs. Presumably Mr Tice will pick up the bill.

What a thoroughly nasty and deceitful peace of work Milband is. You cannot trust a word he says.
The law isn't cheap
"Reform warship, go fuck yourself!"
No doubt you know more than the experts again, as is the case in news you do not like
No need to be nasty

I haven't seen an estimate of how many attended, but I would say, at least several hundred:
Those attending were mostly older. (It was a lovely day.) Women outnumbered men. If I were to pick a single individual to represent them, I would choose a grandmother who usually voted for the Democratic Party. (There were representatives there from local parties and the county party.)
I talked with a number of people there, and found them better informed about politics than the average person here, but not as much better, as I would like. (For instance, I didn't find anyone who knew about PEPFAR.)
On the whole, I think this event provides a little more evidence for my tentative conclusion that the Loser has been good for the Democratic Party, net. Issues like the abuse of women in New York state, or the approximately 50,000 homeless in California don't get the attention they should, while he is hogging the spotlight.

VAR is reviewing to see if it should have gone to Scaramucci, who says if he wins he will do the fandango.
Of all the North Sea Licences granted under last Tory Government 2010 to 2024,the total amount of usable product would last the UK needs for under 40 days.
A quick calculation suggests that if new licences were granted today, by 2040 we could have obtained enough to last us until the 8th May 2026???

There are around twenty times as many Ethiopian Jews living in Israel than there are in Ethiopia
Your plan is foolish
Not only is it full it has broken international law by expanding beyond it's boundaries murdering hundreds of thousands in the process
Illegal squatting
Some discuss forced removal
Surely better to consider a second option in an area with strong historical and biblical context in an area that would all benefit from Jewish entrepreneurship.
Hard to see any legitimate reason for such a nasty response
Calling your plan foolish isn’t nasty, you big girl’s blouse

I met a green party member this weekend. He had never been a member of a political party before but was quite excited by Polanski's messaging.
He was, however, complaining about the emails asking him to do stuff, like requests to attend something (turned out it was their spring conference).
Most modern political party members are fans, not participants.

I think that the Greens and Restore are the most 'online only' party members right now. The Lib Dems are probably the most active 'per capita' as it were, which isn't that surprising as the party tends to attract types already active in their local communities.

Explain why not only Kemi, but the SNP, the Unions, and upto 40 labour mps want our own North Sea fields developed
However, I'm prepared to be convinced I'm wrong in both those beliefs.
People are free to migrate and countries are free to determine whom they want to allow in.
To deny someone who migrated to Israel the right to be there is no better than denying Windrush generation of the same era the right to be here.
Which inspired an idiot to bomb a Shell petrol station in Germany.
Probably the same as I am!
She's jumped on a bandwagon.
She doesn't know why she's jumped on the bandwagon.
She's following unions, local mps and the snp who complained long and hard from 2010 to 2024 about Tory cuts to drilling, cuts she supported.
Not a visit to a North Sea Oil Rig?
"...the editors claimed that the first version of the sentence was the more aesthetically pleasing, summoned a qualified poet to testify under oath that beauty was truth, truth beauty, and hoped thereby to prove that the guilty party in this case was life itself for failing to be either beautiful or true. The judges concurred, and in a moving speech held that life itself was in contempt of court, and duly confiscated it from all those there present before going off for a pleasant evening's ultragolf."
The vast majority of Americans are very insular, it’s not a surprise as they have been protected from many world events by geography and a fucking great military. The amount of social media threads that exist where Americans are saying about things that have surprised them since moving to UK/Europe is vast and it’s like they have gone to the moon and had no understanding. Then there are the threads called things like “America is not the world” where there are plenty of Americans who don’t realise that they aren’t the only people on the internet and attack people for saying things not understanding that the original point was made by a European.
We bemoan our education system and media but I really believe our children (well not mine, don’t have the buggers) have a better perspective of the world and history regardless of blind spots.
*Looks around anxiously*
Americans are highly insular because in the past they could generally afford to be. They only get involved with the rest of the world when forced to by situations (oil supplies, soviet nukes, etc) that could actually affect them.
The complexity of global supply chains and modern technology means that insularity is going to be more of a detriment going forward, I think.
There is a price for electing people who are not up to the task. Right now it’s 1%. Let’s hope it doesn’t get higher.
BBC News - Tories pledge to get 'all our oil and gas out of the North Sea' - BBC News

But it represents a tiny amount of the energy that we could unlock from our tides. These oil fields will be producing nothing in 100 years. The tidal power will still be producing exactly the same in a million years. (More, because the turbines will get increasingly efficient over time.)
I’m surprised it’s only 1%…
As is the case, it is not either or but we need everything and over the next 20 years our own oil and gas
Badenoch announced this policy in September 2025 and it is now very much main stream politics not least because of the Iran war
Iran is far from the world's only source of oil and, as @rcs1000 says, the market will always clear.
Price may go up a bit though.
"Badenoch says the UK "can have renewables and oil and gas", and that Starmer "loves to hide behind legal processes"."

But as I say, I am pretty uninformed on this so don't attach any weight to this.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that about 80% of the 900,000 Syrians in Germany should return home within three years, an idea supported by Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa.
He added that well-integrated Syrians who wish to stay would be allowed to remain.
