My least favourite day of the month, with tedious discussion on whether a tiny number which will be changed in a few months shows if Government policy is working.

To make it worse you know what each interviewee thinks before they are asked. Though 'think' is the wrong word.

The community note on this one is a beauty.

This should be a headline from the 17th century, not the 21st.

Boris Johnson says we can't ban arms exports or Israel can't finish off Hamas, so it hands victory to murderers and terrorists.

But also, Israel will stop wiping out Hamas if hostages are released.

The logic that made him a crap foreign secretary.

People who accidentally found their doppelgängers in museums - a thread 🧵

British school children reacting to Tories. A thread.

I thought the Conservative Party was falling apart.

But maybe it is actually tearing itself apart.

Martyn Williams Woke liberals! You can’t change our flag to push your political agenda!

I still don't get how the Union Jack Defence Brigade managed to sleep right through the 2012 London Olympics.

Lovely endpiece from BBC Newsnight there.

Congratulations to everyone who has got married in the last 10 years whether it is to the opposite sex, the same sex or to their dog.*

I want my country back to being free from intolerant tossers.

Or at the very least, back to being free from tossers who like shouting about their intolerance.

I have never set up a LinkedIn account but now have one I can't close it because they say I haven't set up a password. How has this happened @linkedin?

dear @ywhelp, could you answer my q from last week please: my new Yorkshire Water bill says 'there's a perception that water company shareholders have taken huge dividends instead of reinvesting in the infrastructure', but how much £ has gone to shareholders?

If you've ever tried to claim for an item that the Royal Mail's own tracking website shows they've lost you will get the tiniest taste of what the sub- postmasters must have gone through.

I paid for insurance, they know they didn't deliver it. Just how much more bumpf is needed?

This is horrific. No doubt there are reasons, but it is hard to see why the charge wasn't attempted murder.

The insurance industry is heavily exposed to climate change but failing to insure car sharing clubs that help reduce it.

Glad ABI are looking into it, but if club members get their own cars as club insurance ends, the clubs will die.

This rightwing Conservatives MP is right.

From The Times and The Sunday Times

And yet, we are told by Defra UK
that there is 'no Parliamentary vehicle or time' to deliver on the solemn Conservatives party promise to 'ban the sale of bagged peat composts by 2024'.

It is just one of a long list of broken environmental promises
