  1. Charles will be the oldest to gain the throne by 9 years, surpassing William 4th. Currently Prince William is 11th on the list.
  2. Any advance on 6 pm ?
  3. Just as the rain arrives.
  4. To be fair, it is the question most people are asking at the moment.
  5. The given wisdom is that if the Monarch dies after a certain hour the announcement is delayed until 8 a.m. the next day. Still, I don't think we will get the "assisted death" that happened with King George 5th to ensure that the timing of the announcement of his passing matched the publication of the first edition of The Times.
  6. When I was on the stage crew at KES we had to play the National Anthem after school plays and concerts. One evening we played the version from the end of Queen's "A Night At The Opera". The Head Master was not impressed.
  7. Even the presenters on GCN's post race review of today's stage of La Vuelta a Espana are dressed in black.
  8. There will be plenty of hagiographic sycophancy.
  9. Peppa Pig now spreading the inclusivity message with Peppa's friend the polar bear and her 2 mummies.

    Newsweek running a story that the video of "dead" soldiers was actually faked by Ukraine and then posted on a Telegram channel to fool Russian propagandists. Ukraine later leaked the full edit to reveal the joke. https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-soldiers-dead-trick-russians-video-1740532
  11. Debatable ?
  12. Along with starched wing collars, tail coats, and top hats.

  16. So we are in for more Tory financial sleight of hand; increased Government borrowing and the illusion of cuts in taxes.
  17. Taxpayer fiundng in the form of short term loans to energy companies based on Government borrowing, then repaid through additional charges on fuel bills in the longer term.

    But what did Dannat actually say ? It might be a good idea to start negotiations because Ukraine probably cannot push the Russians out of the occupied territories, and the conflict is in his opinion approaching stalemate However, he adds, if the West did suggest this is may be seen as throwing Ukraine under the bus after supporting it for so long and with so much hardware. There was nothing to imply he thought that Ukraine might be losing.
  19. Indeed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-62796353 "In France, meanwhile, she has been branded not the Iron Lady - which was former UK PM Margaret Thatcher's nickname - but the Iron Weathercock."
