She says she wants to "stop the lunatic woke virus". If she really insists on using this mad-shaming language, maybe she should first check in with a psych service to make sure that getting this angry over a flag is healthy.

Birmingham to London (Euston) is a reasonably comfortable route. Book early and get a seat reservation if you can fix a time. My only concern would be if there's a soccer game. Both cities have good urban public transport easily accessible from the stations.

Cats have been done to death. What captures women's attention these days is pictures of Soviet-era tractors. I believe.

It remains the case that a specialism documented in a doctoral thesis is so much an expectation for a ministerial position in Germany that there have been high-profile instances of academic fraud.

The funny thing about Vallance is that, despite a professorial career, he has only two undergraduate degrees (BSc and MBBS), not a doctoral one (neither an MD nor PhD, whereas many medical researchers have both). That's not to take away from his experience - he's a great appointment, but...

Apologies if you're consciously asking this despite the drawbacks, but you know they're really low resolution? When I heard about them, I thought they were an excellent idea but the reality using current tech is underwhelming.

Rose lives in the UK (and is a huge well-known TV star!), and naturalisation is based on being resident and having paid tax, etc. It's not like you just turn up at the Home Office and argue your case.

Even more important to resist this, because it is demonstrably not true. Corbyn held Islington North. Sinn Fein have the most seats in NI. Plaid have the whole West Coast of Wales. The Greens qon Herefordshire North with a majority of 5k (unthinkable yesterday). People want more than just Starmer.

Thankfully the appeal of South Asian shits on the Tory front bench had a shorter appeal. This doesn't, of course, excuse other parties from upping their representation of non-shitty people from a South Asian background.
