This is a very odd story but I find it difficult to jump to the conclusion that the French navy has decided it should try to scare the Shadow Home Secretary away from talking about small boats. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I like how this makes it seem like the Guardian are particularly worried about them.
It’s newsworthy (if not hugely so) that something Burnham vaguely talked about looking at in the future is not on the immediate agenda, but it does not seem especially healthy that “look! a shiny U-turn!” is the default mode of much UK political coverage.
“You can’t fool me with ‘culture secretary’, that’s not even a real job, I’d have heard about it if we had one.”
If, like me, you didn’t know the phrase’s origins, the intro to Lillelien’s Wikipedia page makes it read as if the original didn’t have the list of names (you have to read further for the full version), which makes me wonder if the tweet’s author did a quick google and thought “yes, authentic!”
Look, you may think this is bad but it could have been much worse.
There was this earlier on the Guardian live blog, so not Polanski himself (unless there was another statement).
A book pairing I found in the university library a few years back (something escalated quickly)
So if I have understood this correctly Burnham might grant WASPI women early access to concessionary travel, subject to the caveat that they must now all have reached the age necessary to qualify for it automatically?
Well, it's worse than that, really: it seems to boil down to "35 (or more) hours per week, on tasks as directed by us". human-resources.ed.ac.uk/sites/defaul...
This is embarrassing. It is “sophisticated and appropriate” to use AI to produce text based on your own knowledge, thinking and ideas? If only there were another way to do that!
On a day when the South Bank was unsurprisingly mobbed, the Southbank Centre’s roof garden turned out to be surprisingly quiet.

I did not even know this was a thing so googled it and I have never been put off an idea so quickly, if likely irrationally.
Been offline at an event and catching up on the latest political developments.
What is the theory here? “He’s going to resign anyway so best to wait. People will be grateful you just briefed rather than taking action and first mover advantage is not an actual thing.”? giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Aha that’s what I meant! At what point do they start wondering if they made a mistake?
