Reform names Robert Jenrick as pick for chancellor

A BBC piece. An extract with the only mention of Suella Braverman in the piece:

“Meanwhile, another recent Tory defector, Suella Braverman, has been handed the education and skills brief, with deputy leader Richard Tice given a new role combining business, trade and energy policy.”

The BBC is spinning the story, as we would expect. A lengthier Times piece includes the following:

“Suella Braverman will be Reform UK’s shadow secretary of state for education and skills, Nigel Farage has confirmed in the final appointment to his “shadow cabinet”…

Britain has been “ripped apart” by diversity, equality and inclusion, Braverman said, accusing the initiative of being “prejudice against white people”.

She said Reform UK would get rid of the equalities department on “day one”, scrap the equalities minister — the role she is responsible for — and repeal the Equalities Act.”

06284 73951 – a remarkable phone number

In the mid 1980s I was living in the beautiful Thameside town of Marlow, Bucks, with the first of my ill-fated wives and very young children. Our phone number was 0628 473951. Many years ago it occurred to me that the number was unusual in that each digit (0-9) occurs only once. Yesterday it occurred to me that there were two other mathematical improbabilities relating to the number.

Firstly, the first five digits are all even numbers (zero being counted as an even number, being in the sequence -4, -2, 0, 2, 4), in 2012 the BBC posted a piece Is zero an even number? The last five digits are all odd numbers.

Secondly, let’s put the numbers into a vertical column, and separate the even numbers from the odd numbers:

0

6

2

8

4


7

3

9

5

1

If we wish to subtract successive numbers in both sets (even and odd numbers), we need to add a digit before some of the numbers, thus:

20

16

12

8

4


17

13

9

5

1

The final step. For both sets of numbers, subtract the second number from the first, the third from the second, and so on. In every instance the result is ‘4’.

Give me a day or two and I’ll have worked out what all of this has to do with men’s rights or feminism.
