Labour Gain Penistone
I very very vaguely know the new Penistone MP - she was (I think) an undergrad at college when I was doing my master's. She was an Oxford city councillor for a while, and I think she stood for my constituency once (but my constituency is a Con / Lib split with no hope for other parties at present).

Reform UK under pressure to prove all its candidates were real people

If I'd have known that some their candidates were puppets and claymation figures, I'd have definitely voted for them.

To tie in with his Victorian-era delusions, the documentary should actually be a Pollock's toy theatre performance in front of no more than 20 wealthy industrialists, high ranking members of the Church, and aristocrats.

"Harris enters the fray with numbers similar to President Biden', new poll finds"

Now this is the bit that floors me:
-----
"Perhaps the poll’s biggest finding is that independents prefer Trump overall. He has 55% support from the critical group, compared to 41% for Harris."
-----
Who are these independents, then? The Waffen-SS?!?

"Surprising asteroid sample reveals Bennu may have originated from an ocean world"
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/27/scie ... index.html
"It’s possible that the asteroid may have broken away from a tiny, primitive ocean world that no longer exists in our solar system, the researchers said."
And it will destroy us all in 2182. Maybe. Hurrah!
