Stinks to the very end: (CNN)The Justice Department is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House or related political committee in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to court records unsealed Tuesday in federal court. The case is the latest legal...

Meanwhile, trade negotiations appear to have found another (entirely predictable and actually well-known) issue: Farm animals antibiotics data raises post-Brexit trade fears Use of antibiotics on farms in US and Canada about five times the UK level, says report...

I see the UK death total has hit 75,000.

If they are going to make it de facto mandatory, they should have the guts to say that is what they are doing. This is the lily-livered way of leaving it up to everyone else to do it because they are unable and unwilling to take the responsibility. If this approach is used, I expect it to...

I see Johnson doesn't think our legal system has any rights or duties: Johnson publishes plans to regain power from courts and MPs Legislation will ban courts from ruling on dissolution of parliament and allow PM to call elections

Much of the point was to illustrate that the rate of poverty reduction worldwide, as you showed, just might not be matched by a similar change in the UK. The precise definition is not so important for highlighting trends.

The issue has been discussed around the place - such as here: https://fullfact.org/online/did-she-die-in-vain/

Now we are getting the "No, it's not mandatory but if you don't get vaccinated you can be refused access anywhere." message: Pubs and venues may turn away people not Covid-vaccinated, says minister Nadhim Zahawi, in charge of UK rollout, says technology could help track who has had jab The...

Some people have been reading the "fake news" about Magna Carta (apparently, just putting up a notice quoting MC completely removes you from the law). I wonder if she would be so keen on it if, for example, some criminal thieved from her but had that Magna Carta passage embroidered on their...

That's good - but what about handling the containers? Some factory/warehouse worker coughing over the litre tubs, and someone else, possibly the other side of the globe, picking it up.

I don't want to think about Trump pulling it off. You.... o_O:eek::eek::eek:

I thought the Chinese were saying it was found on food they had imported! I just thought that it might have been detected here - but that would require someone to be looking... I'm sure cooking would work. But the people who deal with frozen food, and cooking, might well get exposed before the...

Any detected on food coming into, or leaving, the UK? (I was aware that China has been reporting they have found potentially viable sars-cov-2.)

Do you have an equivalent graph for the UK alone?

How much would sixty million leather (or non-leather for vegans, etc.) passport covers have cost - even in a choice of colours?

... the gun shooting grouse. Even if the concept were sensible, it just ain't possible to make the changes at that speed without an awful lot of damage. Redolent of Soviet five-year plans.

By how much has Trump actually caused drug prices in the US to be reduced? By apparently making it easier to import from Canada, he has simply precipitated a wide ranging ban on medicine exports from Canada to protect their own supplies. Thus very little, if any, benefit with possible worsening...

I'd rather whatever profit is made went to the company that made the product - rather than the company losing out by having to supply Amazon at a lower price, and Amazon increasing their dominance of the market.

When I see that name, I immediately think of Lord Percy Percy and Captain Darling. Really quite appropriate! (What is a slightly different spelling between friends?) Tim McInnerny, of course.

Every attempt to scrap Obamacare is intended to ensure that the poor become worse off. (There has been no attempt to define, let alone provide, a replacement.) We also have the bizarre situation in which Gates is slammed for trying to provide vaccines (for whatever disease). Yet, if we believe...
