I love these goofy anti-education losers because they think you just rocked up with a chisel at 18 and someone said 'ok so do what you want, enjoy, cathedral there please'. The guilds and apprenticeships were hardcore. It was a degree, as we'd understand it, and highly specialised

@DonaldClarke63 Agreed, there is record of him visiting UK in 2010 and going to Bristol among other places but can’t find any evidence of this anecdote (which would surely have been a big story)

Fox host: I think it is alarming that we have not been able to see or hear from any of the Iranian people. Do they have drinking water, food?
Trump: Do you remember when we had lunch years ago at Trump Tower? You have not changed. You may be even better looking.

@SamSamwhite @CourtNewsUK Yeah the woman in the car was their cousin, according to the Sun thesun.co.uk/news/38635060/…

@CourtNewsUK Victims & perpetrators share the same surname.
Are they related?

Owen Maughan and father Patrick killed a four year old boy by ramming his parent's car off the road after an all day drinking session. Owen had drunk 12 bottles of beer and his father had drunk 13 pints. courtnewsuk.co.uk/jail-for-ram-k…

I have huge admiration for Verstappen as a driver. But this is a bad look for him and his team.
Also - a pity that other journalists didn’t leave, or at least question him - or Red Bull - harder on that level of entitlement. It’s not like it was even a particularly nasty question

Max Verstappen made the start of his press conference here in Suzuka today conditional on the absence of The Guardian journalist, Giles Richards. “I’ll only start when he leaves.” When questioned by the journalist about the reason, Max said it was because of the question he asked in Abu Dhabi last year It was Giles who asked Max whether he regretted what happened at the Spanish Grand Prix and if he thought he had lost the championship because of that race. via: @jucerasoli

I’ll never understand how displays like this don’t cause people to spontaneously combust with embarrassment.

Mike Johnson: Tonight we have created a new award. We are going to do something we've never done before. We will honor him with a new award. He is the first ever recipient of the America first award. That is this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the golden era.

Hate to think of how many students have suffered and job applications have been ignored because the software that does stuff like this basically doesn’t work.

NEW: Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video for President Trump that shows the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, U.S. officials say.
One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”

Extraordinary. An entire thread of people debating whether a regular, generic, quite obvious bait-and-switch joke in a newspaper column was written accidentally.

Think the writer swerved into something here, or did he do that on purpose?

@VictoriaPeckham Fair enough, but you wrote 'cared' in the tweet and 'passionate about' in the copy, and both of those words apply to today's government re minimum wage
English
@tkbeynon I meant, of course, the last Labour govt created the minimum wage.

The last Labour government cared about the minimum wage – this one only gets excited about bumping people off. My@thetimes column on decriminalisation of full-term self-abortion & assisted dying + how the left sees the body political. thetimes.com/comment/column…

The FT's longtime Tehran correspondent Najmeh Bozorgmehr has written an anti-war manifesto that is simultaneously intimate and epic, heart-breaking and hopeful. A reminder how war is an assault on humanity itself.

One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.

One of those articles that stays with you for years after reading it. Easily some of the best journalism you’ll ever read

In light of the most recent episode of The Pitt, I recommend everyone read Gene Weingarten’s Pulitzer winning 2009 article on parents who lost a child because they accidentally left their baby in the back seat. It makes me cry just thinking about it. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/maga…
