History suggests that the planned revival will turn out not to have been well advised, but Malcolm in the Middle was brilliant in its first incarnation between 2000 and 2006. The slightly larger-than-life performances of Jane Kaczmarick and Bryan Cranston as the parents were particularly memorable. So enjoy. This is the internet: there's no copyright.
A busy day in bad news for Reform UK as after the election expenses story in Devon, now we have Reform dropping their support for Irene Davidson, the party's candidate in a Sefton council by-election. The local Reform branch has tweeted: We have withdrawn support for our candidate in the Blundellsands by-election, scheduled for June 19. Our party swiftly expelled the candidate after unacceptable comments online surfaced. We say there is no place for any form of discrimination in Reform UK & Sefton. Her social media messages have included a call for Islam to be "eradicated" from the UK, calling ...
DevonLive reports: A Reform UK member has been reported to police for potentially breaching election campaign spending limits. Neil Stevens, who won the Alphington and Cowick seat in May's Devon County Council elections by just 72 votes, has been reported by a fellow Reform UK councillor for the alleged overspend, and for a suspected false election expenses return submission... Cllr Neil Stevens said he believed the spending limit only related to the money he had personally contributed to his campaign - £1,703.60 - and not to donations of £292.12 he received, meaning he believed he was below the spending limit. ...
Photo by Bango at Morguefile.com Here's the thing: to our untrained eye, a corn field looks more "natural" than an array of solar panels. But a corn field is a biological desert - basically there are no pollinators there at all (corn is self-pollinating) because they are sprayed with pesticides and herbicides. Put up some solar panels, and add some plants that only need to be mowed once a year or so (sometimes with sheep) and you see an explosion of life. That's Mike Kiernan talking. He's set up a small non-profit business that grows plants that native pollinators like ...

The civil service impact statement for the Assisted Dying Bill could be very inaccurate
Editor's note: This article contains details of terminal medical procedures which some readers may find upsetting. The Civil Service has done an 'impact assessment' for what the NHS and hospice sector will look like if Kim Leadbeater's assisted dying (AD) Bill becomes law. It's chosen a sample of a few 'comparator' US jurisdictions and New Zealand to show how many cases of AD there are (expressed as percentage of total deaths). The population of the sample is equivalent to England and Wales. The projection estimates a few hundred AD cases here a year initially, rising annually. However, New Zealand, in ...

The Strategic Defence Review, published on 2 June, contains plenty of ideas which I believe our Party should support - an increase in the number of ships in the Royal Navy, increased reserves of munitions, and a big increase in our capacity to produce them, many more drones and protection of our underwater communications are all sensible proposals in the more dangerous world in which we now live. But there is one part of the review which I do not believe we should support, and that is a proposal for the UK to acquire tactical nuclear weapons and the capacity ...
The campaign group Reclaim Our Moors wants the Duke of Rutland to to sell Moscar Moor near Sheffield for £1 because they think it is in such poor condition, reports the Sheffield Star: Members say they walked across part of the 6,000-acre estate, between Stanage Edge and the A57, and found "almost no insect life, few birds and no grouse". They claim it has been "trashed" by the duke, "who sets it on fire - sending smoke into people's homes, worsening flood risk downstream and releasing carbon that adds to the climate crisis." They also state it has been "scoured ...
I will always remember my Catholic mum said to me; last time we had this debate about Assisted Suicide when it went to the then High Courts sometime in the 00's. I remember her saying as we watched the announcement on TV in our living room with great sigh "I think people should just be allowed to go to heaven on their own flight plan." Mum was always great to make something sound so simply to sound so deep and meaningful. Some year's passed, and my mum had Bowel cancer, stage four. Eventually she had to be moved to a ...
