The British constitution is fundamentally based heavily in the implied threat of beheading.
It probably doesn't fit exactly with what we've seen in the newer shows, but it's an interesting concept nonetheless
I remember that this was made explicit in one of the novels, with the DTI working in secret with their Klingon, Romulan, etc counterparts to set up a system to prevent interference with the timeline after the 25th century
arguably the biggest news of the week that Lisa Nandy is currently doing something related to her brief
Look all I'm saying is we've tried chaos *without* Ed Miliband
Tim Allen in the sci-fi convention scene in the film Galaxy Quest
'And we're delighted to have, as our guest, the former No.10 Director of Communications...'
Ed Milliband is doing good work and the Government hates to talk about it.
Someone just ran into the pub I was in and shouted "The war on the Soft Left is over!" and everyone started cheering and crying and making toasts to Ed Miliband and a state driven green energy transition. Never seen anything quite like it
Right that the prime minister has resigned. His successor, Keir Starmer, has a very difficult inheritance.
well, champagne Sunday it is
In keeping with Keir Starmer Thought, this comes three days too late to be of any political value or appease anyone
had three glasses of wine at dinner last night and told my Labour friend "THE MILITRAIN IS COMING BACK INTO TOWN, CHOO CHOO" so I guess that's where I'm at, personally
"But if it's 1000 years from now, why do they talk like people today? Why are there disabled people, and fat people, and why do they still listen to our music, and—"
Stop. It's not a documentary about the future. It's a sci-fi/fantasy show about the present. It always has been.
"take the weekend off"
It builds on the work Labour have had since coming into government, with the approval for development of almost 5GW of wind farms across 5 sites and over 4.3GW of solar farms in 12 locations.
Labour really are leading the way on Green energy - both nationally and globally.

The fact prices were well below the pre-auction maximum the government were willing to pay suggests significant competition & robust bidding to secure a deal to sell the electricity that will be generated.
So this is an excellent win for our Labour government & particular our Energy Secretary!

Labour have secured a record breaking 8.4GW of additional offshore wind capacity.
The auction is the biggest in European history, with long term prices secured at about 20% lower than the maximum.
The sites, off England, Scotland and Wales, are enough to power 12 million homes!

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)
“In the last 18 month you’ve taken about £13,000 from X, the social media site. Its new innovation for 2026 is child porn on demand, that kind of thing. I was just wondering – are Reform MPs and you going to continue taking child porn money?”
If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.
Winter has cast its spell on South London. There's frost upon the pile of fly-tipped sofas this eve.
Are we going to get an official Jonathan Archer presidential portrait? 🤞🏽
Listen I'm not saying this with complete authority but the only times I think the Royal Navy operated this widely on such a wide ranging and unfocused basis was the anti-slave trade operations
For the record, I can barely speak Portuguese beyond a few tourist phrases 😅
The Bakerloo Line stuff is the most pathetic talking point to come out of the British right. The Conservatives hallucinating a national malaise as a result of their own (correct!) decision to get as much our of the old rolling stock, which has a trade off in terms of maintenance.
