understand what that means, especially around the supreme court whether you re talking about abortion, talking about issues like voting rights, talking about gun rights. democrats are starting to see when you have a court that s more conservative, that is absolutely going to challenge some of the things they thought were kind of settled law. look, i m a little long, so i m not going to play the bite, but justice kagan s argument was saying there has to be a groundswell, and that s missing here, and she s worried about politicizing of the court. at the same time the left has now panicked that justice breyer is going to not retire. that conversation doesn t help the politicizing issue, does it? it sure doesn t. the court has been politicized from former president trump, talking about my justices, very clearly making the argument that he wanted the 2020 election to get kicked to the supreme court because his justices would hand it to him. his justices. his justices would hand it t
the covid jab has saved millions of lives. its development within the space of a year is one of the clearest illustrations of the value of science. the man who helped develop one of the vaccines is concerned that britain s leading role in research could be under threat. that s if the government doesn t follow through on plans to increase science spending to £22 billion by 2024. we absolutely have to invest in science, otherwise we are going to fall behind other countries. indeed, over the months and years ahead, every aspect of our lives will be touched by the investment that happens in science today. and if we aspire to, in the future, build into a stronger society, we absolutely have to have that science. our very lives depend on it. the promised boost to research spending was to help the uk keep up with its international rivals. over the past 20 years or so, the uk has increased research spending by 0.1% of gdp. in south korea, it was 2.6. in china, it was1.5 and in germany, it was
didn t drink as much as i usually would on a night out. the fact i don t remember anything is terrifying for me because this is something that is a very rare occasion for me. i ve never suffered from memory loss. then the next morning, i woke up with a really, really painful neck. the labour mp for nottingham east, nadia whittome, is working with women s groups in the area on a set of demands to take to the home secretary and police. she said searches are one possibility and should be debated by parliament. what we have to be really careful of is that this conversation doesn t become one about what can women do, and putting the responsibility on women. women should be able to go out freely and enjoy themselves without fear of assault, sexual or otherwise. this is part of a much wider problem of male violence from sexual harassment to rape. we need immediate measures to prevent this
having feels like we are in the midst of a new huge peak in the coronavirus and reverting to the measures we used at that time whether or not it be masks and where do we go from here back to lockdowns? i don t know what. the it feels like the conversation doesn t reflect reality. rachel: doesn t reflect that 99.% of people will not die from this disease. especially children. this is just crazy. the head of the former white house coronavirus task force admiral brett giroir this is what he had to say about it. from a public health and science standpoint, let me be clear, if you are fully vaccinated, you are protected against the virus including the delta variant. and you are extraordinarily unlikely to be able to spread it, even if you get a mild case. so there is no scientific justification for this. i think this is just another example of california and los angeles flailing. they don t have a direction in their policy. we have seen that they had some of the most draconian measures bu
broad conversation doesn t line up to the reporting that we have in the capitol from not only me but the entirety of the press corp. that the filibuster is nowhere close to being gone. nowhere. and claire will get the last word. hang on. hang on. if that is the case then we have basically if that is the case then we have said that tyranny of the minority exists forever. if that s the case. it is the case. i don t know what it says but that is absolutely senator, you talk to these people as much as i do. then we re not a democracy. well we are not a democracy. let me just debate this point. claire. we can debate whether or not the existence of the filibuster is corrosive to our democracy. i agree with matt on that but i disagree with him and agree with jake and i want to be diplomatic here. joe manchin is not a signal for
