Braverman is lying, she was clearly talking about others, but good that she's been forced to retreat. Presumably even someone as thick as her has twigged that telling Bellingham and Saka they aren't English is not popular.

Following the shock revelation by ITV this week that Reform UK has racist councillors, there will be an extremely rare triple by-election in Solihull after all three councillors for Castle Bromwich ward resigned in disgrace. The Conservatives need to gain one of those seats for a council majority.

'Goodbye' is an alteration of "God be with you."

Sean Kress• @SKress7514 • 16h
Do you have evidence to back this up? If so can you explain what "good night" , "good
morning" and "good evening" are alterations of?

Merriam-Webster & @Merriam..•15h 
whatSean Kress & @SKress7514 • 14h
I was genuinely asking the question because the only thing I find on the internet is that it is basically a slur from the original.... I assumed there was a better explanation for it than that as it seems a little unlikely given the good night, good morning etc haven't been slurred into something else too. Sorry if you saw that as offensive.

Merriam-Webster @ @Merriam...•14h S
It is not related to 'good night/ day/morning.'
The 'good' in those do not come from 'God.'Sean Kress @ @SKress7514 • 14h
So the internet suggestion this it is just a slur is what you are basing that on too then?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Merriam-Webster's etymology follows established linguistic scholarship, not unverified internet suggestions of a "slur."
"Goodbye" is an alteration of "God be with you"; "good" in greetings like "good morning" has separate origins unrelated to "God."

Of all the many evil betrayals I’ve seen in the last 60 years I’ve been alive, I’m struggling to think of any that match what Trump and Musk did to innocent Ukrainian citizens while Putin was sending missiles this way. A trio to live on in infamy well after I am gone

Was it Musk or Trump? Who intervened to hinder Ukraine's satellite internet access, protecting Russian targets from Ukrainian launches? Can stop debating, it looks like the answer is both. Both are Putin sympathizers who have acted to help Russia before, and it'd probably take both to work.

So…is someone gonna ask them about this? It’s been obvious since the summer that he’s wearing some sort of mechanical braces on his legs that seem anchored to something not insubstantial around his waist & ass. Other presidents would absolutely be asked about this! Do we have a bionic POTUS? Fair Q!

This para on a piece about Trump underestimating the BBC made me laugh www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Nor will he have encountered that very particular BBC mindset, which, unlike the workforce at Google, doesn't run on can-do energy and corporate good cheer, but rather on toxic gas released by an underpaid, overworked labour force, seething with resentment and, as Fitzgerald put it,
"bitterly loyal" to its employers - which, as it happens, is a very high standard of loyalty indeed. You don't get that at Fox News.

You have to admire the chutzpah of the BBC’s response to the Trump lawsuit www.ft.com/content/d2a0...
In response, the BBC has sought to identify the financial impact of the documentary, including serving a subpoena on the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust, which holds the president's business interests and assets. It is managed by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, who is the sole trustee.
The BBC legal team has requested the production of financial documents that reflect its holdings and value, assets, inventories and lists of properties held. This includes information regarding almost 400 entities owned by or associated with the trust, as well as requests for tax returns, according to court filings in May.
