“As he was sworn in again on Tuesday, Farage told GB News that he planned to spend less time in parliament“
Not a physicist but don’t know if this is actually possible.

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

![[Scene is a MOON BASE on the moon. The Moonbase has an AMAZON logo on the top of its domed glass roof. From inside it, we hear a voice.]:
WHEEEE
Cut to interior scene. We see it is the voice of a man in a space suit, bouncing around in the low gravity, having a great time. We gradually realise that this man is Jeff Bezos.
Boing
haha.
Wheeee!
[close in on Jeff's face]
JEFF BEZOS:
Alexa!
Set gravity to ‘Earth’.
ALEXA HOME SPEAKER:
Sure! Ending poverty on Earth now…
JEFF BEZOS:
No!
Alexa, *stop*…
Set gravity levels to 'Earth'.
ALEXA:
Sure Jeff.
Whum. [Jeff gently sticks to the ground]
[Pause.]
ALEXA:
Jeff - would you like to continue with: 'End poverty on Earth'?
[Jeff thinks about this for a very long time, his face in a rictus of awkwardness. His eyes dart left and right in his head, while he is frozen in thought. This goes on for many panels.]
[in the final panel it just cuts to Jeff bouncing again, saying "Wheee"]

![[TWO PINTS OF BEER are on a pub bar, one is PERONI and one is a brown Christmas-themed beer]
1
PERONI:
Hello there
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Hello Peroni
2
PERONI:
So nice to have someone new on the lineup!
And you are…?
3
CHRISTMAS BEER:
You know who I am, Peroni.
4
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I am Brown Christmas Liquid.
I come back each year.
5
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Every time with a new name, and a new horrible ingredient.
Last year I was Reindeer Stomper. This year I am... Cheeky Elf.
6
PERONI:
Oh god
You were on the bar for two months and…
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Three pints sold, aye.
7
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I’m a seasonal blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg and this year, for reasons of late-capitalist sadism, vanilla.
8
CHRISTMAS BEER:
My name is Cheeky Elf,
I taste of jam,
and I want to d*e.
9
PERONI:
Well somebody’s trying you
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Poor bastard
[A hand comes down to lift CHRISTMAS BEER to sip the pint]

The Minister for Homelessness is a landlord - and she just evicted her tenants, tried to charge them >£2,000 in illegal fees, then re-listed the property weeks later for £700 more.
The same Minister who claims to fight for renters’ rights.
You couldn’t make it up.

It's amazing what evidence based policy can do.
The evidence that the 20mph limit is working fantastic from the point of view of saving lives and saving the taxpayer money in Wales is overwhelming.
You can be annoyed about it.
But you can't argue that it isn't doing what it was supposed to do.
