Can confirm - my husband and I started reading to each other years ago. It’s not all the time, maybe a couple of books a year, but always on holiday - it’s an awesome way to be together rather than each stuck into your own book world.

Everyone is pointing at social media, what about Sunak/Braverman/Patel? Not to mention the odious Farage.

Setting his career back 10 years?! I’d expect him to be booted from the force at the very least.
I mean, I do understand him saying: “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians, because it will be counterproductive in the long term”.
But what he should really be saying is “don’t cut off water and power to over a million civilians because that’s fucking evil”.
How did we get to this position where no leaders of the West will stand up and call this out for what it is?
I understand it’s a complex situation, but treating an entire people like they’re subhuman is morally unacceptable. And I can’t fucking believe that the sodding Israelis - of all people - don’t know this.
Who’s a good boy?!
TIL that lead pipes carrying drinking water are still used in the States.
Suddenly SO MUCH makes sense.
