QUENTIN LETTS: Should politicians be allowed to campaign on NHS premises? Lee Anderson (Reform, Ashfield) caused a kerfuffle in the Commons by complaining about a recent election event at his constituency's hospital. It featured Sir Keir Starmer and Labour's health spokesman Wes Streeting, plus a Labour mayoral candidate. Mr Anderson said the event amounted to 'gutter politics' and that the Labour mayoral hopeful, who happens to chair that hospital trust, was using the place as 'a campaign prop'.

LORD BLUNKETT: Illegal immigration would have been a fraction of what it is today's average. It's not too late to revive them and stop the boats

LORD BLUNKETT: The trade in human misery, which has tens of thousands of undocumented migrants being abused across the Channel every year, is a tragically avoidable tragedy. When people smuggling became a serious issue for border control, we had the solution practically in our pockets. And we could also make the product work. Identity cards are a simple, cost-effective, and inexpensive alternative, and they will destabilize the corporate model of multinational gangs profiting billions from human trafficking.

Could baby sleep guru Gina Ford, whose controversial 90s book urged parents to let newborns 'cry it out' - and made her a fortune - be making a comeback with millennials?

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 2, 2024
Kate Winslet was a fan when raising her oldest children, but Nick Clegg said in 2012 that he didn't use Ford's best-selling The Contented Little Baby Book because it'subcontracted my parental instincts.' The Scottish ex maternity nurse's strict guidelines, which promise to keep newborns sleeping through the night at just eight weeks old, are winning new followers 25 years since Gina Ford's word-of-mouth book was published. b.

Margaret Thatcher's most popular pieces have sluggishly criticized the Victoria and Albert Museum after they referred her as a "contemporary criminal" and refused to display his collection. Sir Peter Wood, an insurance company, acquired a selection of the former Tory Prime Minister's suits and handbags for about £400,000 to'save them for public exhibition' when they were auctioned off in 2015. But he told the Mail that the 'Victoria and Albert Museum was simply not interested' in displaying the costumes and that they had to formally include her in a list of 'unpopular public figures' alongside Hitler and Osama bin Laden.'

Despite facing a £17.4 million funding deficit, a local council has banned ads of 'harmful' campaigns in a bid to achieve its green goals.

The change, which is set to go into operation next month, would apply to all council-owned billboards, its social media pages, website, newsletters, and any sponsorship arrangements. The new policy, according to the company, is expected to be between £14,000 and £21,000, which it described as 'low' compared to costs incurred by pressure on the NHS and other services.

Grand Designs' Nick Clegg is stumped by digging roots: As he prepares for a big garden extension, the former Liberal Party leader wants to remove 30ft magnolia tree from his £8 million London home

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 16, 2023
EXCLUSIVE: Sir Nick Clegg was almost left stumped after he submitted plans for a Grand Designs-style makeover at the £8 million London home he bought from Hollywood actress Colin Firth. In one of the capital's most coveted after suburbs, the former deputy prime minister discovered the roots of a 30ft-tall magnolia tree, threatening the foundations of the six bedroom Queen Anne-style house. After destroying paving at the location where Sir Nick, 56, wants to build a 300-square foot grand garden room at the Victorian mansion, a survey by structural engineers found the spreading roots of the troublesome tree had already created'a significant trip hazard.' The tree is expected to be axed now to allow for the extension and prevent any more harm to the Grade II listed house, which was built in 1878 by renowned British architect Richard Norman Shaw.

Thousands of women are being tricked into handing over money by the hot doctor, whose face and voice are being used by deepfake fraudsters to compel thousands of people. GUY ADAMS investigates

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 16, 2023
Dr. Vasilije Vujovic, a 35-year-old plastic surgeon with brown eyes, flawless teeth, muscular arms, and a smile that might - as the old saying goes - snap knicker elastic at 50 mph. You can see him at work and play on Instagram, where he boasts over a quarter of a million followers. Any photos depict jet-skis, yachts, and white water rafts. Others see the doctor, who lives in Belgrade, posing for brooding photos at local beauty shops or chomping cigars at exclusive nightclubs. 'Do it big, do it right and do it with style!' This is a common caption. Dr. Vujovic's caring side is also showing; a variety of other pictures depict him stroking puppies, hugging his granny, or swagging in medical scrubs at his work. Bolnica Adonis, a cosmetic surgery clinic in an upscale suburb overlooking the river Danube, has been featured in numerous other images. In short, this handsome (and single!) Influencer appears to be every woman's aspiration. Nonetheless, there is a problem.

They are two of Britain's most influential and influential business executives, but Sir Nick Clegg and John Lewis, the company's chief, wanted to keep a low profile as they enjoyed a private meeting in London. Last week, Sir Nick, the Facebook CEO's global affairs president, was seen in deep debate with Dame Sharon at a French cafe Colbert in Chelsea. They sat at a window table and chatted for at least half an hour,' one observer said.' They were sitting near each other and seemed to be content in each other's company. What struck me as strange was that they seemed to leave separately rather than coming together rather than leaving together. 'Sir Nick left first and earned a baseball cap the second, but another man, possibly a bodyguard, welcomed him outside.'

Ex-Soldier James Cleverly was fine for swearing like a soldier and announcing that he would snog Theresa May, s**t MPs, bats**t recommendations, and s**thole northern towns

The Home Secretary said at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday that it was specifically what the Home Secretary said at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday. As he asked a question regarding local poverty rates, Stockton North Labour MP Alex Cunningham called his County Durham seat "a's**thole." However, sources close to the minister confirmed that although the former British Army soldier had sworn like a soldier, his profanity was directed at Mr Cunningham, not his constituency. He has apologised for claiming that the Labour veteran was a "s**t MP," but denies being obnoxious about his constituency, although he had previously visited canvas.

At the Bletchley Park summit, Elon Musk warns that AI is 'one of the greatest threats to humanity.' but Meta's Nick Clegg believes the risks are 'overstated.'

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 2, 2023
At the UK's AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, Elon Musk's fears were echoed by delegates from around the world. Yesterday, the world's top nations, including the United States and China, signed a 'historic' deal pledging to shield the planet from the dangers of the technology's 'catastrophic' damage. However, not all those attending the summit seemed to be concerned. Sir Nick Clegg (inset), the current head of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, said that AI's danger to humankind had been 'overstated.' He advised governments not to'micromanage' tech firms by regulations, while claiming that'many' within the industry agreed with him. And he likened fears of artificial intelligence to the'moral hysteria' over video games in the 1980s.

QUENTIN LETTS: Given the minister's gruesome job of protecting this baffling HS2 scheme, he barely drew breath

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 18, 2023
QUENTIN LETTS: They told the incredibly rushed minister for buses that the HS2 had not completely halted the transport. It was the parliamentary equivalent of the day when the rail Tannoy goes 'bing bong,' and everyone is encouraged to park the rail-replacement bus at the car park. Following leaked rumors that HS2 would stop at Birmingham and not proceed to sunny Manchester, Richard Holden was the minister's name. Despite (or because of) increasing costs, Gordon Brown and Andrew Adonis, as well as David Cameron and Nick Clegg, punted upfield by the political class and its think-tanks and consultants. Was a daft idea finally about to be abandoned? Poor Mr Holden was forced to make the non-announcement.

How fraudsters are delivering fake advertisements for low-price luxury cars that will save the taxpayer £12.50 per month

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 9, 2023
EXCLUSIVE: Fraudsters are nicking photos and details from real car advertisements on forums such as Auto Trader, Gumtree, and eBay and then posting them on Facebook Marketplace. The legitimate-looking pages have begged top-end cars like BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes for knock-down prices, mainly around £5,000, under the ruse of having purchased them at 'auction'. Many of the vehicles are listed in London as ULEZ compliant Euro 6 diesels produced from September 2015 to December, presumably in an attempt to cash in on homeless Londoners looking for dependable motors in order to avoid the £12.50 per day levy.

After Mr Holt warns them all that the next two weeks will be "tense" and "tough," Harry says, 'team therapy' for everyone. In the fifth episode, Holt appears twice more. In the first video, Harry is seen holding his printed address, which is then covered in hand-written edits. 'How not to give a speech,' he says to his wife and Mr Holt. 'Well, at least you can read your writing,' the PR guy responds.' Onno Eichelsheim, the Netherlands' defense minister, has asked Harry for his assistance in announcing the name of Onno Eichelsheim, the Netherlands' chief of defense.
