On the one hand, I have nothing but contempt for the prime minister, Keir Starmer. He is dull and humorless and has the soul (or perhaps I should say he appears in public to have the soul, since I do not know him personally) of an apparatchik advanced to the rank of the nomenklatura.

In the Emmy-nominated and Murrow-winning documentary “Growing Broke,” investigative journalist Natasha Zouves gets her blood tested for forever chemicals on camera. Forever chemicals are so omnipresent — in our nonstick pans, couches, pizza boxes, and now in rainwater everywhere on earth — and they are linked with serious health issues and cancer.
