You evidently missed the at the end of my comment. But in any case:

Oh, and while you're making the claim that the world was a safer place ...

Where have I made the claim that "the world was a safer place"?

Mea culpa!

Reports coming through of a serious incident in north east London. Apparently, some nutter has rammed a house with a car and then jumped out and attacked people with a sword. Not thought to be terror related!

Humza Yousaf is to resign as Scotland's first minister as early as today, the BBC understands.

The SNP leader is expected to stand down following the collapse of the Bute House Agreement - his party's power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens - on Thursday.

Then what?

They'll probably elect a new leader, it's the usual thing to do when this happens.

See, I was right. I'm now the boss of political punditry and prediction on here.

The Labour leader has repeatedly faced questions about his views on transgender issues.

He has previously said that “99.9% of women” do not have a penis and in 2021 he said it was “not right” for Labour MP Rosie Duffield to state that “only women have a cervix”.

But asked about his response to Ms Duffield, Sir Keir said: “Biologically, she of course is right about that.”

So when Starmer said that 99.9% of women don't have penises what happened to the 0.1% of women he therefore said DO have penises? Did these 1 in 1,000 penises suddenly dissolve into thin air?

With a UK adult female population of over 20 million that's a lot of penises gone awol!

[JackyJoll]

that's a lot of penises gone awol!

They could reappear anywhere!

I'll sleep safer in my bed tonight knowing they have caught the people who chopped down an invasive tree in the middle of nowhere, those hundreds of man hours investigating it weren't wasted.

I assume Rwanda are happy accepting potential immigrants from the uk, I mildly wonder how much we pay Rwanda to accept them, aswel as the individual payments.

UK is providing £370 million in development funding to Rwanda, plus another £120 million once 300 people have been relocated. The UK will also pay up to £171,000 per person relocated, largely to cover a five-year integration package. To date, £240 million has been paid over.
