Even in my younger days, when I was more of a leftie than I am now, I thought CND and the Ban the Bomb movement naive. You can’t uninvent something. It would be like trying to ban penicillin. Once nuclear weapons were developed by scientists working on the wartime Manhattan Project in America, they were here to stay. And now the Strategic Defence Review reveals we are going to spend another £15billion on them.

Rachel Reeves is in a bit of a pickle. And it might help if she got herself down to Brighton for a spell in Sussex University’s Dreamachine. Researchers there are asking volunteers to undergo a series of tests to help them understand what human consciousness is. This has become more urgent as fears grow that AI might be developing it, that the likes of large language models (LLMs) such as Gemini and ChatGPT might soon be able to think for themselves if they are not already.

Nigel Farage has really gone and done it now. Gone and made Reform run something. In fact, several somethings - and not just a couple of mayoralties in Lincolnshire and Hull. He’s also in charge of 10 councils, including Kent county, where both us Nigels live, having wrestled it from nearly 30 years of Conservative control by taking 57 of the authority’s 81 seats. Had this been a General Election, Mr Farage would now be sitting in No10 as PM, scratching his head over what to do next. But it wasn’t.

Today @RachelReevesMP will do some heavy lifting by giving away billions. But does she know that a billion pound coins weigh the equivalent of 1,250 fully grown African elephants? https://t.co/HH80AQ8PaM
