I've never understood why anybody who didn't actually attend one of those universities has any interest in it whatsoever. And I should imagine the vast majority of those who did don't give two hoots about it.
It truly was a waste of the licence fee.
American bombers take off from UK bases today on a purely defensive mission to pulverise Tehran, ensuring there are no dangerous school buildings left standing to threaten UK interests.

More poo in our waterways means greater dividends and bonuses for shareholders and directors. The owners have also seriously underinvested and asset stripped the industry, which is why we need to take it all back.

Surprised anybody needed to do the analysis. Frankly I'm surprised it's as high as 8.
Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social! The only member of the panel who has this far been enthusiastically applauded.
Who is the fright from the DT?
Ghastly, ghastly.
Israel is demanding that everyone leave South Beirut, so they can level it like they did to Gaza.
Beirut is 536km from Israel.
Israel should not be there.
Hope he didn't sneak off to a sand dune and kick up a little dust.
Go get 'em, George.

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
Well let's face it, the orange menace is no Roosevelt.
Oh dear. How sad.
The word "codswallop" could have been coined just for this.π€£
Gosh I'd forgotten all about him. I used to have Shadow Play on a single (remember those?), but I know nothing else about him other than he was some kind of distant cousin of one of my best friends at school.
Reasons to be cheerful.
Beginning to feel real hope and remaining some trust in the electorate.
The UK must stand unequivocally against the reckless and illegal action taken by the US and Israel against Iran - publish the initial legal advice on the American/Israeli strikes and commit to a vote in the Commons before any UK involvement in this war.
The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern.
Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.

I have indeed, though I checked several times. My apologies.
I don't mind as long as they all get locked up in a tatty hotel when they get back here.
Then why hasn't he been arrested?
