Is the Sun (or whoever) claiming that it has pictures taken from inside his apartment? Is this hidden cameras or leaked footage, if the latter, who was taking it?
"Public interest" I'm sure, but does that make it legal to bug a sitting politician's properties when you're not the security services?

If The Sun does it, it's not illegal.

Looks to me like one of the prostitutes filmed it with a hidden camera on them, then has either solid the story after the event or made an agreement before the event to do it.

Not entirely sure I want to think about where it was hidden...

Ok, interesting, and we do not have a presidential system in the UK, which is why May is PM. May got over 50% of the vote in her constituency as MP and won the leadership of the Conservative to become PM this year. Whilst I have issues with the FPTP system, Theresa May is also correct to say she has the mandate from 2015. That said, I wouldn't rule out an election early next year and this would obviously require repealing the fixed term parliament.

this was all covered, yes

Polish Embassy Describes Post-Brexit Hate Crimes Their Citizens Have Faced Ahead Of Meeting With Boris Johnson And Amber Rudd

Its a fucking disgrace that people face attacks and abuse over something so fucking trivial such as their nationality or ethnic background, especially if it goes so far that someone loses their life over it. I hope the ones who cause this kind of shit wise up and stop, or get caught and sent off to prison for what they have done.

Panorama: Safety concerns at Sellafield

[Wolfmanne2]

Ok, so the Morning Star has published the concern of the Corbynist MP Jon Trickett that Saving Labour may look to influence the Unite general secretary election due to the fact it has amassed a great deal of data on about 60,000 supporters, coupled with claims they have recruited 120,000 supporters. There also seems to be concerns about 'the moderates' retaining data from the Owen Smith campaign.

All in all, the Corbynists seem a lot more startled than they should be at this stage, especially if they're about to win.

A friend who works there says it's quite sensationalised.

I call vested interests.

EDIT: Ok, kidding, but I really wanted to say that. I know shit all about nuclear stuff, but as a layman I found the Panorama doc quite concerning.

I call a lack of public understanding of radiation, nuclear safety, and the issues faced at Sellafield.
I haven't watched the documentary, but my friend has.

Where the BBC article says "a task/building that should have 60 people manning it may be manned by a minimum of 6 people" does not mean that 6 people are doing the jobs of 60 - which appears to be the angle it's going for.
It's rather a quite tacit admission that the jobs of 60 aren't being done and can't be done, because they can't staff it to that level.

I'm sure you would, as that's what it was obviously designed to do, whether it was right or wrong, misleading or not in how it presented itself.

So now you agree single market, no free movement etc is possible? Make up your mind.
