What happened next has dogged Oakeshott’s journalism career since. The Crown Prosecution Service – led by the future Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer – requested the correspondence between Oakeshott and Pryce. A judge agreed with Starmer’s request and – rather than protect its source – the Sunday Times and Oakeshott complied with the order. The material proved to be crucial evidence at trials which in which both Pryce and Huhne were found guilty of perverting the course of justice and sent to prison.

Always a good sign when your sensible centrist candidate is making the exact same sales pitch that Adolf Hitler did to businesspeople, especially when it's also copying the rhetoric of the prime minister who took only one month to implode the entire country's economy...

yeah it’s not going to be terrible but all these algorithms really only work with the worries well. I wonder how is a AI going to diagnose a little old biddie with dementia off her legs and doesn’t think anything wrong but her family brought her in after a fall? not uncommon but not easy

Had bloods done couple weeks ago, everything was fine, apparently. I'm hoping that knocking the boozing on the head indefinitely is going to give my liver time to get its poo poo back together. Already the feeling of swelling has mostly subsided.

EDIT I mean, I've complained about it to various doctors over the years, and they always pretty much shrugged their shoulders and ignored it. Made me wonder about what their threshold for being concerned is, to be honest

it’s a bit like a comment adrian chiles made, that there’s always someone a bigger drinker than you and she almost certainly has met them recently
if you’re bloods are ok and you’re not yellow then you’re probably fine

the tories are of course “increasingly isolated”, but i’m sure some of them are worried that the culture war has suddenly become two fronts with celebs and sport stars fighting back, rather than a one way attack on immigrants and trans people with the support of the tabloids

It's amazing to see people still going with "actually the Nazis were National Socialists". Do they realise you can call your political party almost anything you like?

Re Greenchat above:

I've heard people describe them as "Green Tories". Could someone point me to a good summary of their policies?

Labour waffling in this latest boat debate is the last straw for me, had thought about holding my nose & voting for Starmer's Labour but absolutely not now.

I'm a big environment & wildlife fan: what should scare me about the greens?

“tories in wellies”

the german greens are something else though, opening up coal plants and turning out to be nato ultras. i do sometimes wonder if there’s something to the conspiracy theory that they’ve long been infiltrated by the oil and gas industry as a vector for antinuclear energy generation
