"First they came for the powerful well connected nonces and I... very quickly dropped everything to very loudly speak out in defence of them for some very curious reason."

He wasn't even the best player in his own family either, iirc Josh broke through first and was thought the more talented of the pair.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

Farage’s economic agenda is basically a manual in how to crash the economy

One of the hardest things to wrap one’s mind around is that these dudes can write this shit utterly convinced that they’re not having an emotion.

Definitely. The problem is people become so blinkered they can accept a lot of failure if it meets their main narrative about 'the foreigners'. Brexit being the main example.

Kylie, an NHS manager, wants to vote for Nige, a man who openly wants to sell off the NHS.

Same for Topic based on the labels of improvement that Mattson showed.

Billionaire Jim Ratcliffe says Britain is being colonised by immigrants - much like he 'colonised' Monaco to cut his tax bill

The perfect job doesn't exist....

The view from around me was that he 'felt he was too big for the club'. No doubt some of the transfer speculation helped turn his ahead during his fall out with Farke/Webber but I'm not sure he downed tools like others have.

However, he's still a bit of a wally by all accounts.

Assuming it was the excessively long celebration.

I think Kamara was the first choice, given the limited time we probably had to go for someone we were more confident of getting. Provides a sto gap for the injured Mattson and a bit of competition until the end of the season. Danny Batth style. #ncfc

Nigel Farage's constituency Clacton-on-Sea, specifically Tendring and Jaywick, are the most deprived in the UK and rank among the highest for benefit dependency, including Universal Credit and PIP.

We love it when they show their true colours.

If North Norfolk, the Thornham Deli (🚁), dabbling duck, the pigs or even the ffolkes. Closer to Norwich, then try cafe no. 33.
If you're closer to Gt Yarmouth, then you my friend are shit out of luck....

Put it with your 'Tony Cottee 22' shirt....

He couldn't afford to do a Wrexham and buy off the shelf championship players, but he's got lots of young talent who (potentially) have a higher ceiling.

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’

“A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles”

BELGIAN WHISTLES

BUT HE DONATES HIS MP SALARY AND THE PEOPLE OF YARMOUTH TJINK HES A SAINT !!!!

Not today, Russian doomsday radio.

That's cold.

Long distance Clara ? Many congratulations !!

You've misspelt his name. It's ache....

Sounds like they were getting a normal amount of days off, PC just gives them none.

"Captain Gains" on Capitol Hill Shang-Jin Wei & Yifan Zhou WORKING PAPER 34524 DOI 10.3386/w34524 ISSUE DATE November 2025 Using transaction-level data on US congressional stock trades, we find that lawmakers who later ascend to leadership positions perform similarly to matched peers beforehand but outperform them by 47 percentage points annually after ascension. Leaders' superior performance arises through two mechanisms. The political influence channel is reflected in higher returns when their party controls the chamber, sales of stocks preceding regulatory actions, and purchase of stocks whose firms receiving more government contracts and favorable party support on bills. The corporate access channel is reflected in stock trades that predict subsequent corporate news and greater returns on donor-owned or home-state firms.

The point estimate of the year in which the lawmaker became a congressional leader (Year 0) is normalized to zero. BHAR over the 250 days following each trade is the dependent variable and calculated using the Fama-French five-factor plus momentum as the benchmark model.

After becoming a congressional leader, a politician’s stock portfolio beats out those of peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts

Managers often do it, make a point early on. Lambert dropped some of our big name players very early on. Becomes more of a high risk move with modern day footballers though....

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

He's had a fair crack of the whip - that was terrible. Only Big Sam can save us now.....
