This is the humble jambon buerre from @naughtypiglets. It was life-changingly good.
I am delighted to have been ranked again in the latest Legal 500 and I am blown away to have been bumped up to Tier 2. Thanks as ever to all my brilliant clients who have said such nice things about me. Now off to gladly pay that old #humblebrag fine.
It is completely mad that had McLaren shown the sort of practical ruthlessness Ferrari showed to bag Schumi five WDCs, Norris would be only 45 points away from Verstappen - absolutely doable. Just feels like the weekend was such a squandered opportunity. #F1
A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Nigel Farage, "I wouldn't charge tuition fees at university if they are studying science, technology, engineering, medicine or maths.. For the rest.. You're better off learning trades and skills"
The Arts and Creative industry account for about 5% of the UK's GDP, so he wants to ditch that
Kind of like advocating for Brexit which cost us 4% of our GDP
It literally says that the costings were "produced on assumptions provided by Special Advisers". Even the 'gotcha' clarification is misleading.
NEW: I have received a response from the Cabinet Secretary.
He has confirmed that 21 costings of Labour’s policies were produced by civil servants from HM Treasury and other relevant departments.
Contrary to Labour's claims he also confirmed that the letter from the Treasury Permanent Secretary made no reference to the Prime Minister.
Read his letter here.
There will, surely, come a day when mainstream political parties realise that moving your party to the extremes to try to win votes just doesn’t work. All you do is legitimise the extremists whilst alienating your core vote. But it seems that today is not that day.

I see that the Green Party, who like to portray themselves as the good guys of politics, have resurrected their misleading voter information flyer.
This comment is just so telling: You get a say once every half decade, and in between you are slaves to the state.
There was a time that English conservatism trumpeted the rights of the individual over the state. Clearly, those days are past.
They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and here’s my testament to that: Sickness has forced me to go sober, but I still want a cocktail. So I have invented my first alcohol free sipper. Which I am rather pleased with.
I am just a lowly barrister, standing in front of @HMCTSgovuk, begging that claimants be allowed to submit pleadings to the Employment Tribunal in PDF format.
Following on from this theme: Child has been bought a 100 piece Duplo set (she’s poorly and I’m a sucker). Is she most interested in:
(a) The Duplo.
(b) The shrink wrap it came in.
(c) A hole she’s found in my sock.
