The idea that being *a member of the House of Lords* in any way means you can be trusted with Top Secret/STRAP material without proper vetting is so beyond absurd that this must surely be a joke?

I will thank you! We have almost no communal power use, small block with just lights, so wouldn’t be worth it for that sadly.

Unfairly this is not going to be something you can answer, but I’m really interested in the possibilities/challenges for blocks of flats. If we invest in this for our block do we need extra legal stuff for managing it? And presumably everyone still has a meter, and how are calculations done? Etc.

Can't talk about other bosses but obviously the UK PM role is a huge job that anyone would like to have.

Whenever I hear that students should expect to be offended at university I always think of like an accountancy student.

“And now we’ve finished the cash flow statement onto the next section of the course: MEIN KAMPF!!!”

I know it might be radical, but add "no leaf blowers" to a platform of "the headlights are too bright" and "you should be able to pay for software once and then own it" and I would rank that candidate #1 every time.

A huge wall just partially collapsed at Khotyn Fortress — one of Ukraine's most famous medieval landmarks, 17 km north of Moldova. Not due to war, it's just old and neglected.

Staff are counting the losses and searching for money to rebuild.

Well spotted. Yeah it’s almost entirely fabricated (you would never see the full length of that distant church in the water) but doesn’t include the other fabrication!

Actual surviving artefacts being turned into a vaguely truthy mishmash of historical-coded things. (I mean apart from the extra wheels)

It’s added something to the square church tower that you would never see on an English church. Looks more like an 18c Paris roofline.

That said, I’m not in favour of having politically appointed Ambassadors. As we see, they often turn out to be more trouble than they’re worth. Also, maintaining a professional diplomatic service is an important national interest in my view. End/

There is something ironic about Boris Johnson, the classicist, being brought down by his own inherent fatal flaws, while Keir Starmer, the lawyer, may be brought down by trying to hide behind technicalities.

Although maybe that in itself is a fatal flaw. I wonder what Sophocles would say

Another great thing about his name is all headlines now sound a bit early medieval, like the Brussels bureaucrats are off for a meeting with some violent horse people
