Keir Starmer did not know Mandelson failed vetting, government says A decision to go against the recommendation of the vetting agency was taken by officials in the Foreign Office, spokesperson says.

Same here. Can’t get excited about doing something we did 50 years ago and actually landed there.

My favourite observation was Otto English saying the landing looked like 3 Tunnocks teacakes and a Nespresso pod.

A humanist is a person who recognises this life is the only life we have, and therefore, resolves to live a moral a fulfilling life in the here and now, based on the inherent human capacity for compassion, and a desire to do good on its own merit. Being a humanist is simply a way of thinking and living that emphasises humanity's capacity and responsibility to promote human flourishing across all frontiers, to protect the natural world, and to work towards a more tolerant society where rational thinking and kindness prevail.
