On page 49 of today’s Observer - the main section - Catherine Bennett mentions the Gransnet ‘Angela Rayner ghastly trouser suit’ discussion.

C Bennett wasn’t amused.

Just to be clear I couldn't care less about Angela Rayner's suit but just pointing out that in general it is not a good idea to give personal information away on open forums.

I rather suspect the Daily Telegraph is stirring things up.

I have no trust at all in the Telegraph’s stories, particularly since they lied about Diane Abbott losing her seat.

The Guardian isn’t exactly on the ball either - it’s latest story on the ice cap melting and its impact on time and the internet has omitted the atomic clock!!

"Gareth Southgate resigns as England manager after Euro 2024 final defeat"

Oh no!!

Yes! shock horror!

And another one:

"I have this morning taken the difficult decision to begin the process of stepping down as leader of the Welsh Labour party and, as a result, first minister."
Wayne Gething.

Going to make a coffee!

And of course Trumps first public appearance.

Vaughan Gething (apologies!)

both of those resignations were predicted, expected, even on the news this morning, and i only half listen.
so not exactly out of the blue breaking news.

Wyllow3 The Guardian story about the melting icecap and the internet was yesterday’s scam …. Not today.

Found it, ronib, must have been somewhere in the middle pages.

www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jul/15/climate-crisis-making-days-longer-study

Reporting on a US based Scientific report, must say couldn't really understand it.

Wyllow3 sorry not to have the knack of posting links - yes that’s the article. My DH wasn’t at all impressed and my family members were asking what it meant!! Atomic clock powers the internet…..🥴

I'll spare you page 3 in the Sun newspaper...(if they still do the pix)
