Men don’t even have to be tested, according to the article:

Male athletes need not complete a test in order to compete.

Whilst I can see the benefits of a nuclear deterrent, I do think there’s an argument for scrapping the Trident programme as it relies on US support. If there’s an alternative that makes us less reliant on the US, I think that should be explored.

From what I’ve listened to, the right faction of the party are keeping Starmer to prevent the left faction from replacing him.

According this article - The mysterious social media posts attempting to spark street brawls - detentions have been cancelled:

For a second week in a row, Met police officers are on high alert and schools across the capital have started cancelling detentions and after-school activities. Why? A fresh spate of posts trying to organise street brawls between children at different schools has hit social media platforms like Tiktok and Snapchat.

Good question, The Guardian also reported on this: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/feb/26/tiktok-snapchat-london-pupils-school-wars

I used to refer to the Marine Conservation Society’s Good Fish Guide on the odd occasion I’d eat fish. Back then I remember mackerel being sustainable, sadly that is no longer the case as the guide for mackerel now says:

Most mackerel sold in the UK needs improvement because of long-term overfishing. Avoid mackerel caught using gillnets.

The petition currently has 80,272 signatures.

When you consider the 2024 election results for Tottenham, where there was a sizeable swing away from Labour towards The Greens, it’s not inconceivable that The Greens could win.

I’ve been using frp to create a reverse proxy between my NAS at home and a DigitalOcean droplet. Been using it for over a year now, and not had any issues.

I think a win in Hackney is a possibility considering in 2024 there was a 17.5% swing to the Green Party, and they got almost 23.9% of the vote.

Like the article suggests, here is hoping this splits the vote for the right.

In an electoral battlefield littered with failed startups, Lowe’s new party is, for now, little more than a pebble in the shoe of Nigel Farage’s Reform, from which he parted ways last year after a bitter falling out.

However, over the weekend other parties and figures to the right of Reform quickly rallied behind the new party. Advance UK, led by the former Reform deputy leader Ben Habib and backed by the far-right activist known as Tommy Robinson, said it would consider a merger.

Such a force could cost Reform a number of seats – and potentially even power, in a wafer-thin general election result – by splitting support among those drawn to hard-right anti-immigration populism.

Correct, effectively five different levels of training intensity, with one being the lowest and five being the highest. Polar has a good introduction to the zones.

All I see are white faces in that photo, yet according to Wikipedia, the constituency is not only white:

White people made up 57% of the population at the 2021 census. Asians (mainly Pakistanis) formed the largest ethnic minority group at 27% and Black people were 9%.

But when runners say, “I trained in Zone 2 for a year and didn’t improve,” the issue is rarely a lack of patience or discipline. It’s usually a misunderstanding of how Zone 2 fits into the larger training picture.

Judging by this quote, I assume the author is referring to people who just train in zone two. Though, if you know there’s a zone 2, it follows that you would know that there’s other zones that you should be training in too.

Some people, myself included, like the taste and ritual of drinking beer, but don’t want to get drunk.

The article does say that income is a factor:

Income also plays a role, with people living in more deprived areas tending to drink less than their more affluent neighbours.

Unless there is a future need for all this milk, or an argument for food security, couldn’t the government incentivize the farmers to grow different crops, or even rewild their farmlands?

In terms of strategies, I’d recommend Unmasked by Ellie Middleton.

I’m currently half way through reading Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté, which is very much worthy of all the praise it receives.

The article is just a list of books, which you could also borrow from a library.

I’m intrigued why people are voting this down. If you took the time to read the article, you’d find it has some important points from women challenging the unequal distances:

While competing in nordic skiing and cross country for Middlebury College in the late 90s, Molly Peters noticed the event discrepancies in both sports right away after running equal distances in high school. Witnessing her nordic skiing coach, Patty Ross, advocate for equal distances in the winter sport and being met with resistance inspired Peters to take up the effort herself.

“We’re sending a message to young women that they’re not as capable, and I feel really strongly that this is something that’s so easy to change and something that women deserve. They deserve the opportunity to go out there and do the same distances as the men,” Peters said.
