Is there not evidence that willingness to agree that claimants are 'unfit for work' is also locally specific? It certainly used to be the case. In which case 'local initiatives' will prove hard to succeed without considering these historical interactions between medical tests and local economies.
If one thinks that Brighton Council had a high degree of competence in running franchising operations, this would be a good idea. But one looks at previous episodes: incinerators, 360degree towers etc....I would be a little cautious given that the Brighton bus network seems to work pretty well.
This seems the right interpretation of this fiasco.
Journalists i& editors nconsistent shock horror. Sorry Henry!!
Russia screams “disinformation” at the UN while burying its own dead.
Amb. Melnyk:
- 30–35K Russian troops lost every month. Recruitment failing.
Cash incentives no longer enough.
This is not strength.
It’s attrition masked as propaganda.

"COVID vaccines tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden."
"People vaccinated against COVID in Germany in 2023 experienced reduced hospitalization rates, fewer long-COVID diagnoses, and lower all-cause mortality than those who weren't vaccinated, according to a new study"
"Do you play with your friends?"
As Jeremy Thorpe said of Harold Macmillan: "Greater love have no man than this, that he lay down his friends for his life".
Me too. But I'm not commenting on the last point. It struck me as somewhat like "does he play cricket? Can he keep a secret?"
He sounds one of their more sensible candidates.
Member for not Your party but My party Party.
The oldest known image of Keith Richards, published around 1140 AD ...
Certainly Ambassadors, it seems. But the issue here is that an appointing body usually reads references when they come in. Sir Keir didn't bother to ask for them, apparently.
well... THAT's pretty eye opening, actually, Mike, to just say it out loud like that.
Did that sound different in your head?
On what basis is this arbitrary prediction based?
Why doesn't Starmer just say (in so many words) "we thought Mandy was right guy for job - smart but as sleazy as Trump's entourage - but we now regret this and apologise for the mistake"?
Exactly so. But it's conservative-oriented humanities profs who are pushing all this OfS nonsense anyway.
However don't forget Matt Goodwin storming out of Waterstones having been unable to find his silly book among the bestsellers. Unlike that book, this event was not fiction.
You don't say!..the trouble is, that's what services chiefs love. See e.g innumerable Bird & Fortune sketches.
Yes, this is complete nonsense. The 'shock' is sometimes having to deal with topics analytically.
True but the delusions appear to extend beyond the would-be Andrew Tates & Tommy Robinsons e.g suburban housewives in US who believe you are stabbed if you leave your house in London. Which is ironic, really, given gun crime in US.
Because Trump & his acolytes play the 'fake news' agenda. Hence, many continue to believe that what is going on, including this poll, is 'fake news'. It's not difficult to understand, really.
Of course, when you have a militarised economy and can't measure 'outputs' by standard methods in national income accounting, you have plenty of scope for manipulation. I wrote this 3 years ago in response to 'sanctions aren't working' brigade.
Exactly why the whole idea is a stupid excuse for litigation that will further deplete universities' resources.
Who is this silly man, the rest of the world wonders?
Exclusive Express nonsense.
Goodwin not looking in the fiction section.
He clearly has no mind control over vetting processes.
Never 'extinct' - just proved very hard to find....
Then save save save.
