Shame your James Ratcliffe thinks immigrants have colonised Britain when the Man himself has tax exiled to Monaco and lost us billions of tax revenue and the immigrants are really helping this great country

The House of Lords pays £342 a day just for clocking on. A 10-hour shift as a junior doctor pays £140.

This should silence the far right bellends but it won't.

All being well, this is my last New Year’s Eve in the U.K. after returning 5 years ago when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. That rolled into mum’s diagnosis and 5 very difficult years all said. As an Irishman who was brought up in the U.K. I’m hugely fond of the British. There’s nobody funnier anywhere, and I think deep down it’s a compassionate and caring nation. That said, returning here after many years abroad, I found I’d come back to a totally different country. I was fortunate enough to miss the entire Brexit debate but let me tell you it’s created a huge chasm between people who ordinarily rub along just fine, and having stepped away and then come back, it’s crept into everything and now millions of people are suddenly outraged on demand over something that was designed to do exactly that. Divide and rule, and at any cost. The people who designed Brexit, and forced it through won’t be at all affected by the economic plummet, rising inflation, intolerable mortgage rates etc, and yet oddly I observe people cheering them on with an empty wallet and an empty bank account. If I had one wish it’d be that when I next return to the U.K. that people would finally have gathered themselves to the extent that at least an honest debate can be had, and one without tropes, slogans, and the likes of Matthew Elliott and Dominic Cummings quite literally ruining the country with ostentatious falsehoods and jingoistic tripe. It’s actually heartbreaking to see a nation tearing itself apart clinging to this new footballification of politics where facts no longer matter a jot. I do fear for you guys and hope a path of repair can be found. You’re a really good bunch and you shouldn’t be at each other when you need to be united…. Anyway enough meanderings from me. Just to wish every single one of you regardless of your politics, views, colour, sexual preference, or pronouns a very happy and healthy New Year 2024. From me and Alfie. Love to all ☘️🐝 🥰

Worth 13 minutes of anyone’s time.

As Brexit grinds to its always inevitable conclusion and the country now overwhelmingly supports #RejoinEU it is time to start the process of the UK returning to the European Union. The longer it's delayed, the damage grows. #BrexitHasFailed

I was outraged by Dominique Samuels’ revelation of being asked to be “the face of a ghost-written, negative, verging on racist piece” so I looked into it further. By me, for Private Eye.

Since the great Miriam Margolyes is trending, heres my Miriam Margolyes fun fact (which I only discovered last year). Miriam provided voice dubbing for the Water Margin, which me and my brother loved as kids!

The science of global warming beautifully and simply explained by Dr. Carl Sagan, ca. 1985.

We need to show up in force for the @MarchForRejoin on 23 September - they need to see the 'will of the people' is to #rejoin #BrexitHasFailed marchforrejoin.co.uk/home-1 @VoteTrueAndFair will be out in force and I am hugely looking forward to speaking to as many of you as possible - this is not about the past, it's about all our futures #togetherwearestronger trueandfairparty.uk/rejoin

Remarkable. And so, so true.

Letter from S. Ramanujan to G.H. Hardy (16 January 1913) Dear Sir, I beg to introduce myself to you as a clerk in the Accounts Department of the Port Trust Office at Madras on a salary of only £20 per annum. I am now about 23 years of age. I have had no University education but I have undergone the ordinary school course. After leaving school I have been employing the spare time at my disposal to work at Mathematics. I have not trodden through the conventional regular course which is followed in a University course, but I am striking out a new path for myself. I have made a special investigation of divergent series in general and the results I get are termed by the local mathematicians as "startling" Just as in elementary mathematics you give a meaning to a when n is negative and fractional to conform to the law which holds when n is a positive integer, similarly the whole of my investigations proceed on giving a meaning to Eulerian Second Integral for all values of n. My friends who have gone through the regular course of University education tell me that leq. 1] is true only when n is positive. They say that this integral relation is not true when n is negative. Supposing this is true only for positive values of n and also supposing the definition [eq. 2] to be universally true, I have given meanings to these integrals and under the conditions I state the integral is true for all values of n negative and fractional. My whole investigations are based upon this and I have been developing this to a remarkable extent so much so that the local mathematicians are not able to understand me in my higher flights. Very recently I came across a tract published by you styled Orders of Infinity in page 36 of which I find a statement that no definite expression has been as yet found for the number of prime numbers less than any given number. I have found an expression which very nearly approximates to the real result, the error being negligible. I would request you to go through the enclosed papers. Being poor, if you are convinced that there is anything of value I would like to have my theorems published. I have not given the actual investigations nor the expressions that I get but I have indicated the lines on which I proceed. Being inexperienced I would very highly value any advice you give me. Requesting to be excused for the trouble I give you. I remain, Dear Sir, Yours truly, S. Ramanujan P.S. My address is S.Ramanujan, Clerk Accounts Department, Port Turst, Madras, India.

In case you missed it ... Back at the start of Brexit, renowned economist @AdamPosen set out a very fair and balanced assessment of how Brexit would negatively affect our economy. Looking back at it, every word of what he said came true. #BrexitHasFailed

London cyclists: I have nothing against 99% of you, but one of your number just sped through a red light and hit me on a pedestrian crossing, then swore at me and sped into the distance as I stood there in shock. Please do better
