It would be very powerful if all the media who did get accreditation go to this and ask the same obvious question over and over again. It will be utter cowardice if none of them do.

Great way to demonstrate the club isn't state owned and is a totally independent business, honest.

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

I've accidentally become obsessed with Crusader Kings 3 on the PS5. I'm pretty shit but it's still one of those games where you start playing it on a sunny evening and look up again and it's early the next day.

The boats they are using are bigger but the overall number arriving is smaller. This is what a successful enforcement policy would look like - more boats are getting stopped forcing change of strategy by smugglers - but you would not know this from the alarmist bbc “LARGEST BOAT EVER” push alert

As I understand it, it's because it's pushing electricity into your plug socket rather than pulling it out and there is therefore a (small) risk of fire based on the state of your internal wiring.

There's probably a German word for making your fans happy because you've helped make a brand so toxic that none of your fans could support it, then being surprised when your fans don't wear the brand even though you want them to now.

Are either of these results big surprises? Were they previously going to go Reform based on polling but now show Reform on the slide or were they always nailed on to go the way they did based on local issues/demographics?

Diverging from reliance on US tech in general should be a priority for Europe (including UK) now and this seems like a good one to focus on given Ukrainian drone tech advances. Worries me they're so reliant on Musk for Starlink though.

Given that you don't need our earth pounds anyway, it would be nice if you could promise to donate any leftovers to good causes in the local community in the Clacton because their current baron is too busy lining his own pockets to help them out.

Given Farage is setting this up as a fight against the establishment, have you given any thought to offering the people of this planet the opportunity to crowdfund your campaign against tune current evil overlord of Clacton. That would really show him what the people thought.

When I first heard no main party was running I was furious, but now I've seen how this is playing out I've realised I should never be a political strategist and love that this is the becoming the such an embarrassment for Farage.

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

If nothing else this just goes to show that prohibition doesn't really work. America made gambling so difficult for ordinary adults that "prediction markets" emerged and loads of people lost their minds. Punting them on Facebook is like injecting everyone in nursing homes with crack & they know it.

The plan was always to sell magic beans to idiot CEO'S and embed their half baked solutions into key infrastructure by absorbing all of the costs. Once they were mission critical they ramp up the fees and CEO's pay them or don't have a company any more. I won't be shedding any tears when it fails.

Totally agree, but it's not like he's coming up with these ridiculous policies all by himself. My concern is that the various civil services departments may actually be fundamentally broken and unable to come up with anything that works now. Changing leader or parties won't fix that.

I've been very impressed by Haiti in many ways. The diving and trying to get players sent off not so much. Scotland aren't usually prolific scorers but they've never really had control of this game to build any attacks. Think Morocco and Brazil won't be too scared looking at this game.

Third or fourth Haiti dive looking for a dodgy penalty. That's the only way Scotland fuck this up IMO.
