Time for him to spend more time with people and less time helming the party.

Of course - someone who denies healthcare, autonomy and safe abortions to women is also not pro life.

Rubbish. Funding source is real: BoE has paid >£100b/3 yrs as interest on commercial reserves; a subsidy the ECB + Swiss Bank largely abolished. Redirecting this £30 billion to raise personal allowances targets HPC households. Paired with equalised capital gains + dividend taxes = balanced ledger.

It just dawned on me that God’s most fervent supporters are the very same people it treats the most poorly.

The Australian government decision to allow 40 IDF soldiers into the country to run in the Sydney Marathon is heartless. The group includes Roy Oryon – a former deputy commander of Company B, 13th Battalion, Golani Brigade, who has admitted serving during the current war.

Such a weird take on sexual assault. The lede should be a minor thought. Appalling stuff.

A fair bit yeah. She follows him around. Seems to not mind being bullied and asked to do impossible things. Leaves notes for Trump “you’re all that matters to me”. It’s sad.

Testimony of the woman who delivered a 13 year old to Trump. “I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.”

In fairness, Starmer couldn’t communicate his own achievements. He was so devoid of charisma you could have used him as an anaesthetic.

Reports also indicate that similar sounds were heard in the coastal towns of Sirik and Jask in southern Iran.

A budget detail many missed last night was how the Albanese Labor government is addressing what it calls social cohesion. It is cutting $9 million from the Australian Human Rights Commission, the independent body that protects and serves every community equally.

No one in govt is talking about before the budget, but just FYI, the level of Jobseeker is now 42% below the poverty line - worse than it was during the Howard years... live.thepoint.com.au
Chart showing level of unemployment benefits relative to the poverty line. It's now at 42% below. In 2007 it was 43%, in 1996 it was 25%

I forgot to list Haile Gebrselassie, Grete Waitz, Zola Budd and - some would say the greatest of all time - Emil Zátopek. All atheists. Fascinating topic. I know of one group of Australian Christian runners who had a powwow in Canberra to pray for their own success and to beat others.

Of course - Kenyan, and Jamaican plus Black US athletes make up the podium in almost every distance - but their religion is the result of a pernicious colonialism. The only great athletic nation that avoided this scourge is Ethiopia. Deeply Christian in a way that Colonial powers wouldn’t recognise.

Interesting question. Muslims are the fastest in middle distance and long distance (Mo Farrah, Sifan Hassan, Hicham El Guerrouj). Buddhists have the deepest talent pool + standouts like Toshihiko Seko. Non-religious are also super fast - Steve Prefontaine, Paula Radcliffe, Mary Cain and Usain Bolt.

I’m not really across all he’s done and hasn’t done. He seems to be a voice worth debating. But he’s called for a rethinking of consciousness which has been misinterpreted as being tricked by AI.

They had 71k employees in 2016. They gave 78k now. It’s a cut but still more than 5000 employees more than a decade ago after these cuts are made.

I’d be overjoyed to see him go but part of me wants him to stay so the Greens can have a proper shot at becoming a major political force.

The most ridiculous thing. For years we tried to hit the sweet spot - it was somewhere between 27 and 29. Now, the bike industry is in financial trouble so a new wheel size has come to the rescue. The industry told the UCI as much. How long till we see a 30.5 - supposedly to improve handling
