'Matthew Schrag, a neuroscientist who played a key role in exposing elements of fraud in Alzheimer’s research, said: “You can cheat to get a paper. You can cheat to get a degree. You can cheat to get a grant. You can’t cheat to cure a disease. Biology doesn’t care.”'

"Albon's application for custody of two children was turned down."

Jesus Christ, what an absolute danger.

What's going on with the "Thw" here? Can see it's been corrected in the actual article but it's a bit graun-esque, no?

Just say that then.

Can ‘gentle density’ help us solve the housing crisis? With up to 4mn new homes needed in Britain alone, urban planners are looking to the ideas behind the buzzwords

'One leading UK architect... added it was basically development with “trad aesthetics” and “not wrong as such, but just maddeningly simplistic”.'

Oh right...

Vision for 400,000-home city set out with Community Land Trust-managed affordable housing A new report outlines a vision for a 400,000-home city with “genuinely affordable” housing, with the majority of this housing managed by Community Land Trusts.

At least we know we're idiots, I feel like that's halfway there 😂

A professional diplomat being diplomatic might be more better than "well, the president is ghastly so lets get another ghastly (in a different way) person and assume that'll be better for some reason)"? Who could have imagined!

There may be more to it, but I suspect that's enough.

My understanding is that to a degree it was just that Trump, who is quite sensitive to insults, felt he was insulting...

The evidence I got was "someone who was literally working in the British embassy team in Washington under both told me to my face", and I am saying it *in conversation* to Stephen who *conversationally* agree with it.
