Wasn't it the members that gave us Truss ?

Didn't stop Bertrand Dawson helping King George V on his way, allegedly to ensure that the timing would allow The Times to break the news of the King's death.

His uncle served on HMS Antelope, which sank after an attempt by UXB officers caused an unexploded bomb to detonate. Luckily almost all of her crew survived, and people trying to score semantic points here should be ashamed.

Jenrick and scandal - can’t imagine those 2 words have ever been seen iñ the same sentence.

Melange

Should he stay for the season there would be no 'if' about going down.

But they proved they had the potential, Russ has not. He is on course to be worse than Nathan Jones.

Those TV ads with a talking head speaking into the camera with a moving fuzzy background as the person in view rocks slightly side to side as they pretend to walk along. Yes SelectSpecs, I mean you.

Politicians don't lie - they dissemble, mis-speak, or present alternative facts.

Any Government trying to significantly increase revenue without changing one or more of the top three sources is going to be playing a shell game, and is being dishonest with itself and the electorate.

Nor is our manager.

In principle the provision of a dignified consensual end for somebody approaching the end of palliative care makes humanitarian sense, but as with all things that 'professionals' or politicians get involved with, there will always be the risk of "mission creep".

From a New York Times article; "An Ohio sheriff has been stripped of his role providing security at his county’s early voting location, members of a local elections board said, after he compared immigrants to insects and urged residents to record the addresses of people who have yard signs supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. In a Facebook post earlier this month, the sheriff, Bruce D. Zuchowski of Portage County, called Ms. Harris a “Laughing Hyena,” and described immigrants as locusts, the crop-destroying pests that were said in the Bible to have caused a plague in Egypt. “Write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!” Mr. Zuchowski, a Republican who is running for re-election, said of Ms. Harris’s supporters, according to a screenshot of the since-deleted post. Then when immigrants “need places to live,” he wrote, “we’ll already have the addresses of their New families.”"

Too late

Ukraine finally starting to hit Russia where it will really hurt - 2 distilleries have been blown up by Ukrainian drones.

Because Russ says that statistically we aren't as bad as our results suggest.

Sack him now.

Saints player gives ball away to an opposition player in dangerous position - standard situation.

I have just borrowed the TARDIS and corrected the timeline.

Desperate to cling to the last vestiges of the Empire.

Negotiations that started when Truss was Foreign Secretary and May was PM, continued and supported by Cleverly when FS and Sunak when PM. A treaty that would have been signed by the Tories had they got back in. ( And Diego Garcia is not being handed back, the naval base is being retained on an initial 99 year lease ). Strange how some details seem to be missing from the Mail's front page rant. EDIT; this from a BBC news item in 2022 - "In a written ministerial statement, Mr Cleverly announced: "The UK and Mauritius have agreed to engage in constructive negotiations, with a view to arriving at an agreement by early next year. "Taking into account relevant legal proceedings, it is our intention to secure an agreement on the basis of international law to resolve all outstanding issues, including those relating to the former inhabitants of the Chagos Archipelago." The foreign secretary confirmed the negotiations would include "the exercise of sovereignty"."

Adkins was sacked in January, just after drawing 2-2 away at Chelsea. We were 3 points clear of the bottom 3 and had lost only 2 of our previous 12 matches, having 22 points from 22 games, with SRL being the then top English striker in the PL. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1491188-nigel-adkins-shockingly-sacked-as-southampton-manager

"Out, out, damned Russ"
