Legal failure
Fat brats
25% of kids starting primary school are overweight or o’bese and in poor health. So much for the child-rearing skills of their parents.
Fact or fiction
Put’n the Poisoner has announced that his attack on Ukraine; the 3-day dash to victory which is now in its 5th year; is coming to an end.

Reading the runes
It has been an interesting few days for the pundits, especially those doing The Wee Streeting Story. Will he launch a convincing challenge for the Labour leadership? Or will he act tough then bottle it?
If there’s an available scenario, it has been dump upon Wee at some time or another and everyone can claim to have got it right at some point in the procession. And expect everyone else to ignore the times when things were got hopelessly wrong, of course.
