Celebrities are now injecting salmon sperm into their faces, while gen Z buys into ‘prejuvenation’. But I’m hopeful the tide may soon turnTotally neutral question, no right or wrong answer: how do you feel about salmon sperm?It’s not a Nordic culinary microtrend or a sex thing, but a beauty treatment, in which “Polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) derived from purified fragments of DNA extracted from yes, ‘salmon sperm’” are injected into your face. It does seem to work: proper research has found PDRN has wound-repairing properties in hard-to-treat contexts such as diabetic ulcers and deep burns. Good news (unless you’re a male salmon). But what is it doing in healthy faces? Continue reading...

2 h. ago It’s the Kemi delusion: the more the Tories run towards Reform, the more their voters will run to the Lib Dems | John Harris

The genius of UK Conservatism used to be how it responded to chaos using the balm of tradition. Secondhand Trumpism will only alienate its voters furtherWhat times these are. As Donald Trump’s sellout of Ukraine gains pace, there are reports that Keir Starmer will flatter the president by inviting him to address parliament.
