Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells

I mean he has downplayed the seriousness. The process that considers the findings has considered them and has been entirely independent. They are guilty of what the Premier League asserted they were guilty of. The football investment process has been linked by politicians such as Andy Burnham.

UK diesel price hits record high of £2 a litre. Record profits for oil companies and tax take by govt. Also tells story of deindustrialization: In the 1970s the UK had 18 oil refineries, now 4. We are rightly moving to renewables but economy still left vulnerable. Any national planning?

If Etihad Airlines was just an innocent business that paid what they thought was fair market value, they would be suing the club for dragging their brand name through the mud, rather than suing Premier League. Nike, Oakley, Trek etc sued Armstrong for reputational damage, not WADA for the ruling!

Sustained economic growth can’t be achieved without a major boost to the purchasing power of the bottom 50% of the UK population. The govt can do so immediately by increasing income tax-free personal allowance by £3,000. All it needs to do is to end subsidies to commercial banks.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship

From The Times Sport: Liverpool were one of the clubs who served a legal notice on Man City in 2024 reserving the right to seek compensation if the club were found guilty of serious charges. There could be a claim for more than £100m for each club. #lfc #redsky

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Danny Tommo has been filmed slashing a dinghy in the channel containing migrants and a rescue worker on board. There is no mention of this on the BBC news website at all as far as I can see. Yet when he and his thugs turn up in masks it's all "Legitimate protestors show ankle in Dover".
