Censored in Texas because even "Evolution" as a concept is too controversial for the young American mind

This is such a stupid take. We are supposed to judge the character of the prospective leaders, Starmer just came right out and said Israel was within its rights to cut off food water and energy. This obviously speaks to his character which will be key dealing with other issues.

Britain has little influence there but we shouldn't be cheerleading Hamas killing festival goers or IDF levelling vast swathes of urban areas with a trapped civilian population.

The article talks about the effect on doctors but it doesn't talk much about the effect on patients - who can be suddenly cut off a doctor who has treated them for years without explanation

The slight catch being that the NHS is not a free market system and the government would be perfectly happy to run the service with massive job vacancies if it meant avoiding spending money they don’t want to. And this is exactly what they have done in the past.

#McDonalds faces 2 sex abuse claims a week, so today they met MPs, so that MPs could learn how to reduce the number of claims against MPs down to the level of McDonalds bbc.co.uk/news/business-6739…

McDonald's faces up to two sex abuse claims a week

The chain's UK boss tells MPs more than 400 people have made complaints since a BBC investigation in July.

There are 650 MPs and 170,000 McDonalds workers. If McDonald's employees were investigated at the same rate as MPs, this would require about 13,000 investigations. How the McDonalds boss managed to avoid telling MPs to get their own house in order first is anyone's guess

Forget #xlbullies UK needs a new approach to #scooters. In the space of 5 minutes I've had close encounters with 5 in total darkness - no lights, riders dressed in black, silent & almost invisible in the dark, some on wrong side of road

They ride like this because if they wear reflective clothing the cops will stop them and confiscate the scooters - but it is like they have a deathwish ☠️☠️☠️
