I can't understand why people say smoking is bad for you. Kim looks in fantastic health in that pic. You can see clearly that his body is in fine working order and brings to mind an Olympic athlete.

My simplistic view is that there should be disagreements in Cabinet, particularly on complex and important matters. If there weren't disagreements that would show the group didn't have the right blend of people.

Agreed. And the regime have successors for him who have a similar worldview.

I read a very interesting thread about it yesterday. Fascinating to understand the full context.

Ha, it looks like he's making his application for a role in Lowe's team already. I've long since.left twitter but it's interesting seeing the far right conspiracy theorists trying to outcompete each other.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

I'll bet money that he'll be a party parliamentary candidate for Rupert Lowe's far right conspiracy theory party at the next General election.

Goodwin and his far right friends should be taught the Oasis song Let There Be Love.

I have a really good feeling about the price of #bitcoin. In that I think it's going to plummet and I don't have any.

Exactly this. And then results should be released on a videprinter. Man I miss 80s and 90s football

It shouldn’t feel odd for your football team to be playing at 3pm on a Saturday.

That should still be the norm, not the exception.

He seems to have stagnated at Southampton although I see he is currently out with a bad injury so that is a real shame. Anyway I hope you're at your seat now. I'm feeling confident.

Enjoy the match Shaun. I keep hoping we'll bring Baylee diPepa back to Vale Park.

I share your contempt for X and I have removed myself from it but can it really be banned? My understanding is that anyone with a VPN can get around anyone website ban.

There are going to be limits to what you can make other countries do by threatening to tax your own citizen's purchases of their products.

I believe handing over entire territories falls well beyond those limits.

When Trump says that the US are going to run Venezuela is that a polite way if saying they're going to install their own governors and take lots of Venezuelan oil as "payment for services rendered"?

Again and again, the optimal position when legally threatened by Trump is to be resolute in defence and prepare for court.

You will likely not then have to go to court, as he will fold or settle.

But if you seek to settle from the off, he has got you and he will crush you.

Bloody hell, cricket eh? There is a true joy in listening to the BBC's commentary while you're on a train.

To knit together two stories: through intimidation, litigation & extortion, Trump is clearly trying to create a media ecosystem where nobody asks him about Epstein - or indeed anything discomfiting. It is appalling to see so many UK media individuals & institutions aiding & abetting his corruption.

I wonder whether she ever shouts at her own family tree. Her xenophobia is mind boggling.

Agreed completely. And isn't cutting public services exactly what Reform are promising a Ross the country? They may not express it in such terms but their promised "efficiency cuts" is just another way of saying "cutting things we don't like". Which means public services.

Now 75% yes. I wonder if the Express will use this poll in a subsequent article.

Today I went to a university open day with my son. We went to the student union and I beat him comprehensively at pool twice. Clearly my own time at university was not wasted.
