Hop over to GitHub, look at the contributors of any random repository and you'll see women are almost non existent. I wish it weren't so but that's how it is.

How the right-wing British press became Trumpโ€™s trumpet Fleet Street is happy to ignore the real history of transatlantic relations to score points against Keir Starmer

Rather than concentrate on the wildfire war he's just started, Trump is spending his time on the phone with British journalists slagging off Keir Starmer. Their dictation skills turn out to be excellent www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/lab...

I like it, looks like something from a Denis Villeneuve science-fiction movie

Pretty stupid, doesn't Trump know he's 80?

Also need to remove American baked beans and hash browns, they both have no place on a proper English cooked breakfast.

I don't know the details, is it a full life tarrif? He could also spend the rest of his time in isolation.

I get things are market driven and it's silly to say women should be on parity with men in football but the disparity is glaring, especially given the season the men's side have had given the outlay.

Hard agree. And the attacker isn't a public spirited do-gooder to be celebrated he's a convicted rapist and killer. I hope they throw the book at him.

It's getting to the point where potential downsides - kill switch activated, doors looked, speed increased and destination set to nearest cliff - are outweighed by sheer desirability.

Yeah but more the fact Embery was tweeting him. I thought he was pretty much a blue Labour guy. Glasman seems more like a Faragiste these days.

He's not taking the blue Labour crowd with him, what a clown.

There is no evidence for Jolyon Maugham's ludicrous claims. He's a crank and a zealot, I expect no better. Natasha Devon is supposed to be a serious broadcaster. It's quite disgraceful of her to promote this dangerous rubbish.

Paul Embery tweets that sort of thing regularly

I have gone back to Firefox, LibreWolf breaks far too many thinks and this makes it unsuable for day to day browsing. I should keep a thread, I change so often. One day I'll find a browser I really like. The quest continues.

That said Omid Djalili isn't neutral either, he's obviously personally invested in seeing the end of the regime (completely understandable). His claim is pretty wild, not beyond this regime though. We simply don't know ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It's possible the US bombed a school (albeit by accident) but I'm more inclined to trust Omid Djalili than unverified claims coming from the Iranian regime.

I meant progressive rather than liberal, the two aren't the same and are often confused.

Absolutely. It isn't good for them or the kids in the class who are also affected. This doesn't happen in private schools. Liberals seem oblivious to this.

06.03.2026 11:27 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Indeed. I lived through it and remember them being far more gung ho than Labour was at the time.

Matt doesn't think working class children should have small class sizes.
