Probably the most consequential decision these MPs will make. One of those moments of profound social change that come around every few decades. MPs vote in favour of #AssistedDying by maj of 23. Less that the majority of 55 MPs at 2nd reading, after months of intense scrutiny

Danny Boyle would not direct "Slumdog Millionaire" today because of "cultural appropriation" and "I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it."

“We wouldn’t be able to make that now. And that’s how it should be. It’s time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we’ve left on the world... At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We’d work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you’re still an outsider. It’s still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be. I mean, I’m proud of the film, but you wouldn’t even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn’t even get financed. Even if I was involved, I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney claps back hard at Trump’s idea about Canada becoming the 51st state.

Trump: "As a real estate developer, when you get rid of that artificial line, when you look at that beautiful formation together, I said, ‘that’s the way it was meant to be.’”

Carney: "As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale. We are sitting in one right now… Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign the last several months, it’s not for sale. It won’t be for sale ever!”
