That sounds like a sound principal that would absolutely not be respected by Leave. Reform just put in their manifesto - "if we form the govt we will hold a referendum on leaving the EU again and will implement the result".

Public executions, rampant open corruption, election interference at home and abroad, extra-judicial killings and a President calling for ethnic cleansing would be grounds for an EU sanctions regime on any other country.

All Trump’s overseas assets should be frozen. Hotels. Golf courses. Offshore accounts. Should not be permitted to enter the territories of the countries that are parties to ICC.

Running a country's economic and fiscal policy is like budgeting for a household.

That would make it extremely difficult to rejoin, and the reciprocal 60% required to leave again would be ignored. You're basically saying don't leave, but if we do, make it really hard, but then much easier to leave again.

The Cupertino pilot is so good and this show should be able to run for a century on the quality plus the foundational premise of a law firm that exclusively fights against big Silicon Valley companies.

You've got a weird and dare I say annoying way of showing it. But you're not a "lib"? How about annoying non-libs should show their support for Ossof by just shutting up about him?

After ICE’s deadly surge in Minneapolis, Trump’s new DHS secretary said: “My goal in six months is that we’re not in the lead story every single day.” Jose Olivares from @us.theguardian.com takes us inside ICE’s more secretive new strategy. lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

If having that education results in earning so much more that a six figure debt is repayable, shouldn't that just be recouped in payroll tax based on the higher earnings that are actually earned. I know, crazy.

It seems silly to make this point, but if Republicans had exercised even a modicum of moral standards on a few of their own, they would be in a much different place now and for the future.

But Laura Kuenssberg says she's doing great! Bold, landed lots of blows on Starmer and will find it easier against Burnham (rather than "tangle with Starmer over process" WTF?) but also harder while he is temporarily popular, and on it goes incoherently but "InDepth".

That article is nuts. They are looking for an angle, presumably pitched by City, that actually the cheating was a good thing for everyone.

Oops, is your first point also about the second half of the article re State funding, rather than HMRC investigating?

jockhigh.bsky.social @jockhigh.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I don't imagine it is down to the premiership panel to ensure a club and its staff are paying its taxes. HMRC will usually pursue that with the club and let it be known more widely if there is resistance. HMRC don't tend to give up - ask Rangers or those bankrupt ex footballers in movie investments

Almost nobody verifies AI. It spits out so much so quickly - many long drafts you revise with new prompts - it's too much effort to check everything in every draft if you're trying to reduce your own effort in the first place by using AI

I remember the day after Brexit. I watched British-born women, doctors and nurses in hijabs being told “we voted for you to go home”. They were home. So spare me the fucking revisionism about what that moment unleashed. 🧵

Gabby Agbonlahor dead right on talkSPORT to bemoan City snaffling Gareth Barry, James Milner and Fabian Delph from Villa. Only Arsenal (four) lost more first-teamers to City in period of the main charges (2009-18). Everton lost three as well All were fighting near the top and had their stars nabbed

I don't know why no interviewee pushes back at LK's framing of questions more. Burnham did well to talk thru her there, but she and her approach deserves to be more of the story.
