This is unbelievably upsetting - Sir Alex Younger was a friend of Newsnight & our viewers.
In a volatile world, he would regularly sit on the NN sofa and share his wisdom, expertise and perspective; often he managed to make us feel a little better about everything.
Off air, he & I discussed his cancer. He told me that just when he was looking at new horizons, cancer had put a spanner in the works.
We were very lucky to know him, even just a little

A lot of people have struggled to believe me when I say that the Australian Human Rights Commission is giving pregnancy protections in law to men who claim to be woman, because it’s so stupid it’s hard to believe anyone would say it.

@MPB_5@adrianfclarke This monocoque was carried over from '84 to '85 so the chassis plate didn't change from /2. The designation of the car in '85 was indeed /2B as other aspects of the design changed e.g. rear suspension and rear wing, but the monocoque was not a new build.
Ahead of the Ferrari and Alpine launches today, take a read of my #F1 2026 rules analysis...

One of Einstein’s students asked him: “What does logic mean?”
Einstein said: “I will answer you with a question.”
“Suppose two workers enter a chimney to clean it. One comes out with a dirty face and the other with a clean face. Who will go wash their face?”
The student immediately and without hesitation replied, “Of course, the one with the dirty face.”
Einstein said: “Your answer is incorrect. The one who will wash their face is the one with the clean face, because he looked at his colleague’s face and assumed that his own face was as dirty as his colleague’s. The one with the dirty face will not wash his face, thinking it is clean like his colleague’s.”
The student said: “That is correct and logical.”
Einstein replied: “No, it is not correct, because the question itself is illogical. It is not logical for two men to enter the same chimney at the same time and for one to come out clean and the other dirty.”
In a few words, logic itself can collapse, so sometimes the problem is not in the answer but in the flawed question itself.
"Rishi Sunak lied in the election debate last night, Labour will not be raising taxes on working people"
Labour lied to get elected and have lied about everything since. Even the line about a black hole aa a reason for tax rises has now been exposed by the OBR!
Labour out!
"If russia stops, the war ends.
If Ukraine stops, Ukraine ends. That's why we must help Ukraine win."
-Kaja Kallas (Prime Minister of Estonia)

@efmania No. This is just what we did for every driver when we did a seat fitting with them initially at the factory. This is the mechanics' reference document.
