I feel left out

If you feel like a career change you know what to do.

About time and all.

Nadhim Zahawi clearly has inherited Gove's skill at reading the room.

A good eg of why teachers aren't always impartial when it comes what's best for children.

Then, in 20 years, for fuck all to have changed.

It's been about 50 years since the head of the Met said their ambition was to "arrest more criminals than I employ". He cleaned up CID a bit but had no appetite for broader cultural change. It would be entirely achievable for today's Met commissioner to have an ambition to arrest more rapists than she employs.

Isn't this the same unit Wayne Couzens worked in?

"Now a group of UK researchers have tested an existing approved drug, prucalopride, which targets the 5-HT4 receptor, and found that it may improve cognition. Prucalopride is primarily prescribed for constipation, and has an acceptable level of side effects if taken under medical supervision"

"Participants who had taken prucalopride for 6 days performed much better than those receiving placebo on the memory test; the prucalopride group identified 81% of previously viewed images versus 76% in the placebo group. Statistical tests indicate that this was a fairly large effect – such an obvious cognitive improvement with the drug was a surprise to us”.

Would you rather right 1 horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?

Hm, righting the large duck would be really bad for my back, but the amount of bending for all the tiny horses might also set it off. It's a real conundrum.
