Beauty fades, dumb is forever. ( Judge Judith Sheindlin )

Nobody that voted for Reform was forced to.

It is 1600Km from the northern border of Ukraine to Moscow. The Russian air defences don't seem to be very effective if Ukraine can launch mass drone strikes on the Russian capital.

The curator of the Queen's pictures was a Russian spy.

The people you reference know what they voted for, and are happy to have done so.

Democracy is a bitch; 1) if enough Labour and Tory voters turned out in the local elections and supported their candidates then Reform would not have such a good result. As with the Brexit vote, anybody who didn't vote has no business moaning about the result. 2) People are allowed to vote for whoever they want. If Labour and the Conservatives remain complacent then "Populism" will appeal. Farage taps into something buried deep in the psyche of an island nation, and successive Governments failing, in the public perception, to address immigration, especially after we "got control of our borders", gives Farage an open goal.

Donnie has had another SMART IDEA; If a US citizen buys a US made car on finance, they will be allowed to deduct the interest payments from their income tax liability. How much of a car has to be manufactured in the US to qualify as "US made" has not been revealed.

Minor consolation, he has first and second in Shot of the Championship.

It's a miracle he's in the final, he can hardly see beyond the end of the table.

He is a certifiable loon. He wants to re-open Alcatraz as a prison, it shut in 1963.

This from the Local Government Association outlines Concils' obligations for EDI ; "The Equality Act 2010 challenges organisations to know how age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion/belief, sex, and sexual orientation describe the experiences of local communities, both individually and collectively. Thinking about the relationship between these ‘protected characteristics' explains the difficulties and opportunities arising from the diversity of local areas. They are a reminder that the consequences of difference on effective service delivery cannot be avoided either for the provider or the user. Organisations are expected to use this understanding to demonstrate ‘due regard' to the Public Sector Equality Duty to: eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the act advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not."

They will find out how little independent power Councils have.

Everton could play their academy team and comfortably pick up 3 points in that game.

How far into next season is the bet valid ?

After the apparent anti-Trump factor in the Canadian election, it looks like a similar effect has come into play in Australia.

The 1945 Errol Flynn war movie Objective Burma had to be withdrawn from the UK because it practically removed the British and Commonwealth forces from the war against the Japanese. At the UK premiere the entire audience walked out part way through. The Times wrote ; "It is essential both for the enemy and the Allies to understand how it came about that the war was won ... nations should know and appreciate the efforts other countries than their own made to the common cause."

Not sure that is true. Most of those in Lancashire are former Tory councillors. Mind you, they are talking about wanting to hold a local referendum on replacing Council Tax.

So that Vance can take over ? And if you also get him ,then it's Mike Johnson. The madness would continue.

PBS are the latest target of a Trump Executive Order; he has demanded that all Federal funding to PBS cease, along with the public service radio service NPR, as they “receive millions from taxpayers to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news.’”. This is despite the President having no power, legally or constitutionally, to affect the management of the stations or the funding stream, which has been approved by Congress until at least 2027.
