Therese Coffey mentioned challenging times twice in the Commons debate on Thursday last. That the times are so challenging is, in large part, a result of the government itself, which, having, entirely unnecessarily, denuded the state of investment since 2010, is creating the vast majority of the ongoing and everyday challenges for its own people....

On Thursday, the London Zoo announced the birth of its first animal in 2023 — a two-toed sloth born on New Year’s Day. Before sixteen-year-old mom Marilyn gave birth, she was closely monitored with regular ultrasounds during her 10-11 month pregnancy, the U.K. zoo said in a press release. Because of a sloth’s long gestation, the nocturnal mammals native to South America are well-developed at birth, so they can eat food and hold on tight to their mother shortly after entering the world. “We were delighted to finally spot a tiny baby exactly where it should be, clinging onto Marilyn’s tummy, as she curled up in her favorite tree,” sloth keeper Veronica Heldt said of the first time the zoo spotted the baby animal. “We’ve nicknamed the little one Nova, which means ‘new’ in Latin, as we couldn’t have asked for a better start to the new year,” the zoo shared in its release. The London Zoo won’t know the youngster’s sex until vets confirm it through a DNA test. Male or female, the newborn is a valuable addition to its species.

So he invents one He’s at it again: In the midst of implementing its own controversial new program for dealing with the flow of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, the White House on Wednesday criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida for deploying the National Guard to handle the arrival of undocumented immigrants from Cuba. “We are talking about people who are coming from countries, who are dealing with political strife,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at Wednesday’s press briefing. “They’re trying to find asylum — and he’s treating them like pawns.” She charged that DeSantis was “not dealing with the problem. He’s actually creating a problem.” Last week, DeSantis deployed the National Guard to deal with what his office described as an “alarming influx of migrants landing in the Florida Keys,” though it was unclear just what the Guard’s role would be. According to the governor’s office, 300 migrants fleeing Cuba and other countries landed at Dry Tortugas National Park last week, and another 45 made landfall at Key West.
