Cove Kaz Capital, which last month agreed to merge with a shell company backed by Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, applied in March for $400mn in financing from the Office of Strategic Capital, a branch of the defence department that backs supply chain technologies needed for national security, according to two people familiar with the matter. The US Export-Import Bank and the Development Finance Corporation, two federally funded agencies, in November said that they had issued nonbinding letters of interest for up to $1.6bn to support the development of the Northern Katpar and Upper Kairakty tungsten projects in central Kazakhstan."

Is the estimated cut of 50% in call centre jobs by 2030 due to the "current disastrous regime" or the introduction of AI ?

Take plenty of marmalade sandwiches.

From the comments : "Is the BBC that issues this ode to Bielsa the same BBC that invites all and sundry to kick the Southampton manager every other day?"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0r2kxrvlgpo "The US Senate has voted to advance a stalled immigration spending bill after Republicans removed $1bn (£745m) in funding for President Donald Trump's new White House ballroom." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj6pldg39deo "The US House of Representatives passed a measure that seeks to halt President Donald Trump from taking further military action in Iran. The 215-208 vote was successful after four Republicans joined Democrats in a public show of disapproval of the war, which began in February. "

And plenty more shooting them down. Having browsed a few pages I don't think their discussion of this is any different than ours, or any other disparate group of people "meeting" in an open online forum; most people taking the view that Digwa is a complete cunt, a few that Nowak must have done something to provoke the attack, some thinking the Police response was influenced by Digwa being a Sikh. Most, however, taking the reporting from the Court as accurate regarding what happened, and saying that although there are serious issues with how this incident was handled, in general the Police are often put in an impossible position. And plenty saying Farage should stop trying to exploit the situation.

There is a US delegation as well.

The rejected first draft of an Elvis Costello song ?

Government borrowing is not exclusively a Labour thing.....

Story of my life.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c87q93jw4w9o Is spying as common in Germany as Southampton boss Eckert claims?

I get my first State pension payment next week, and will pay Income Tax on it.

No matter how angry I might get with Government policy, I can't believe I would ever get to the point where I thought throwing wheelie bins at the Police was an effective way of putting my point of view across.

More tariffs on UK exports to the US are set to be imposed because we, along with most other countries, apparently don't do enough to block imports of goods manufactured by forced labour.

No, Farage and particularly Yaxley-Lennon are doing that.

And injuring 11 Police officers in a riot the victim's family didn't want helps how ?

Trump's proposed successor to Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence is the current Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a man who manages a major house building organisation who has no experience in the Intelligence or Security fields. He does, however, seem to have a track record of targetting opponents of Donnie with accusations of mortgage fraud.

"Despite a somewhat hysterical national press ....". "Somewhat" is a bit of sn understatement.

You said "Our benefits bill just exceeded the amount the government earns in taxes. ". Income tax is less than a third of the total tax take.

The "Anti-Weaponisation Fund" has apparently been shelved.
