Had President McKinley never been assassinated in 1901, the White House could have added two enormous wings like this - plans he commissioned:
New York City Fire Commissioner, Lillian Bonsignore, reveals 19 people so far affected by collapse of Brooklyn building.
2 have died
4 are critical
12 are stable

They do not know how many more may be trapped beneath the rubble.
I’d have thought that university would be precisely the place to get rid of medeival superstition and develop enlightenment skills based in reason.
I'm not sure what the Guardian's complaint is here. That the Home Office shouldn't be trying to look for people who are in the country illegally?

I find it very funny that the government is attempting to pull the wool over Allah's eyes by constructing a system the *definitely isn't a loan* (wink wink).
Muslim students may receive a "payment" instead of a loan (wink wink), and then pay back repayments that definitely aren't exactly the same as the payment amount plus interest (wink wink).
Stupid voodoo nonsense.
It's like the hardcore No-Sex-Before-Marriage Christians who practice premarital anal sex because they think it's God's loophole.
Adding wings to buildings is something we used to do to little or no controversy.
Over time Buckingham Palace first had enormous wings added (1820s), next it was turned into a quadrangle (1847), and after that the Portland Stone frontage with that iconic balcony was added in the 20th Century (1913).
"If you look at the economic problems we have today, I don’t really think they’ve got anything to do with Brexit at all.
I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare.
Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit."

David Cameron says Britain should NOT rejoin the EU
The former prime minister warns Andy Burnham that starting a conversation about rejoining would be “very long and painful”
Speaking in a Bloomberg interview, Cameron urges Burnham not to trigger another “decade-long debate about whether should be in or out.” He also says the UK should not enter a customs union with the EU
As the PM who led the Remain campaign in 2016, Cameron’s intervention will be seen as significant. He says Britain’s economic problems aren’t due to Brexit
“Today, instead of launching an argument about rejoining, which I think would be a very long and painful argument, and who knows where it would end up, instead of that, focus on how do we be the best friend, best neighbour, best partner,” Cameron says
The former PM also warns Burnham that talking about Britain rejoining could hamper future negotiations
“If you start endlessly producing this idea that we’re actually on a path to rejoining, I think you’re in danger of getting a less good partnership deal because of course the EU countries will just think: well, these guys are gonna rejoin anyway, so what’s the point in giving them a good partnership deal… If you’re not going to, you know, commit to trying to make the partnership stronger because you’re flirting with rejoining, I think there’s some dangers there,” Cameron says
“I don’t think actually necessarily joining a customs union is the right answer. If you look at the economic problems we have today, I don’t really think they’ve got anything to do with Brexit at all. I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit. We need a government that actually gets spending under control, gets taxes down, helps entrepreneurs, deals with our borrowing problem, reforms the welfare, and massively deregulates so we can build houses, build infrastructure. None of those have got anything to do with Europe. So that’s sort of, in a way, that’s my point. Do we really want to go into another decade-long debate about whether we should be in or out, when actually we should deal with our own problems while making the partnership model work?”
“I fought the campaign to stay in on an amended basis, and I obviously wanted to win that campaign. I was desperately disappointed that we lost that campaign. But I’m a democrat, a believer in democracy. We voted to leave, and I think the right thing now is to try and become, you know, not just neighbors, partners, and friends of the EU, but the best friends, the best neighbors, the best partners. And I think we can make that work”

Great data analysis here.
Per capita, people ‘born on 1st January’ are significantly more aggressive and sexually criminal than those born on 2nd January.
Why? Turns out for lots of illegal migrants - when the state can’t determine their precise birthday - the default becomes 01/01.
An interesting way to decipher migrant crime statistics even though the government refuses to publish migrant crime statistics.
Worth saying he’s promoting kooky great replacement nonsense.
But if the Senedd wants to call itself a Parliament it’s going to have to allow people to say things in it that are disagreeable.
It’s *astonishing* that the left is trying to police what the right is allowed to be debated *in a legislative chamber*.
You’re not a democracy if some things are forbidden from being said or debated.
The basic tenet of a *DEBATING CHAMBER* is you hear things you disagree with. Christ alive.
I was way too optimistic about this dystopian vision back in June. I was wrong. They're banning YouTube Kids too.
This is absolutely mind numbingly moronic. These people are not fit to lead a free society.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, based in London, is Trinidad and Tobago's final court of appeal under its own constitution. T&T retains it by choice; it applies T&T law.

“When the democrats get control in January they are not going to be polite as I am.”
Massie here making the case for a more painless impeachment - vs the drawn out committee hearings and witness interrogation that could take place under the blue team next year.
I joined @kaitlancollins on CNN’s The Source last night to explain why I brought forth Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar Pete Hegseth.
Some argue Hegseth has been effective. I would agree. He’s been effective at breaking the law and violating the Constitution.
You can still enjoy Michael Jackson’s music and you can still watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Come Fly With Me too.
You think you're buying an 800k apartment but you're actually buying a 200k one.
Almost all because thieving politicians take most of your money in a moronic and frankly hilariously counterproductive attempt to lessen the housing crisis.
