Well now I've been told he's actually really likeable (all the forensic integrity just gets in the way), I'm certainly convinced.

Once in a great while, we are privileged to experience a political event... so extraordinary, it becomes part of our shared heritage.

1997 - tony blair wins a landslide victory

2012 - our great country is celebrated by the world once again

Then for a long time, nothing happened.

Until tonight.

Behold the future of politics. Keith!

Some great articles on BBC recently. I particularly enjoyed this one: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-61495035

quote:

Climate "doomers" believe the world has already lost the battle against global warming. That's wrong - and while that view is spreading online, there are others who are fighting the viral tide.

quote:

But when asked how confident they were that climate action would significantly reduce the effects of global warming, more than half said they had little to no confidence.

Doomism taps into, and exaggerates, that sense of hopelessness. In Charles's case, it all began with a community on Reddit devoted to the potential collapse of civilisation.

"The most apocalyptic language that I would find was actually coming from former climate scientists," Charles says.

The PM is told hundreds of things every day - Ellis

Labour's Sarah Jones says that No 10 appears to have said that the PM was told of the upheld complaint but he forgot.

She asks if the minister has ever been in a position where he has not "immediately been able to recall being told of an upheld complaint of sexual harassment by a minister".

Ellis responds by saying that the PM has a "myriad array of urgent pressing responsibilities" and may be told "literally hundreds of things in one day".
