Nobody would believe a documentary about current politics. They’d have to tone it down too much.

The U.S. for the first time dropped from the top spot in a global ranking of how well countries can feed their own people, as concerns about agricultural research spending and government policy trends may make the world’s top food exporter a less-certain place to get a meal.

Ireland is the world’s most “food-secure” nation, improving its food affordability, availability, quality and safety while the U.S. has stagnated, according to a copy of the sixth annual Global Food Security Index compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit scheduled for release Tuesday.

As decent as Corbyn's speech was, I felt it needed to specifically call out anti-semitism and abuse within the party. That side of particular elements of Labour is seriously more concerning to me than their weak stance oin Brexit.

Actually, besides the Telegraph most of them are focusing on Ryanair cancelling another 18,000 flights through to March next year.

What is it with London Mayors going to gooseberry fool once they leave the job. I mean overall Ken was well liked.

Now he's just become Basil Fawlty-esque in constantly mentioning Hitler/Jews/WW2 every time he's on TV or radio.

Johnson didn't go to gooseberry fool after being London mayor.
