Do any schools in the North still do ‘juniors’? Was a big deal at St. Mary’s when I was there (though that’s 48 years ago now!) but I left before actually sat any.

Quite possibly could have won the League Cup before Christmas (still could of course). Celtic haven’t beaten them since last year’s League Cup final and that was, ahem, quite a lucky win (you can no doubt tell me if that’s right statistically). League looks out of sight for them right now though.

You are good at this. 😂

Jenrick literally called on Tories to ‘build this new order’ in his speech today - he’s either very stupid, or very dangerous or both.

By someone who never gaffes no less

A Tory Party that thinks "Reform are a socialist party to the left of Jeremy Corbyn" is high on its own supply.

Why are they asking Cleverly about the chocolate bar? He's the guy who can't count, nobody has questioned his spelling.

But at least Ofcom's going after the real troublemakers... right?

Right?? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In 2022, Ofcom had previously ruled that Juice ‘was not meeting its requirement to broadcast LGBT anthems as part of its music output’ and was instead ‘a dance music service’.

???

To be fair they aren’t exactly known for their support for the Legions of the Rearguard. Was setting up a rival not the reason Dev stole all that money after all?

Generally take the view that quantum computing is to computing like fusion power is to power, myself. I’m sure there will be a practical use case soon enough.

You *read*? Scotland’s other national pastime right enough 🤪

Reminds me of the (possibly apocryphal but maybe not) story that in the late 60s Roy Jenkins was told he needed to be more clubbable and curry favour by buying his colleagues drinks - he bought them a drink and then left the bar rather than talk to them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorche... - apparently

Didn’t the Tories say the convention was a dead letter twenty odd years ago (as they claimed it related to a house where they were in permanent majority?) Guess they could just pack the Lords too of course.

Technically the Lords could block them for a year though

Where did that Lags 11 comic strip appear? Pretty sure it was a DC Thompson publication.

RTÉ Morning Ireland seriously asking what if Jim Gavin won. Total waste of 60 seconds there lads.

I’m actually looking forward to Polanski getting all these big interviews he is demanding. Because he risks abject humiliation.

It’s entirely deliberate. He buys into the Trump worldview that any lie is acceptable if it advances his political position

IgNobel maybe

Various FF notables saying 'was not one of us suitable for a run at the Park?' The question answers itself.

My country goes to a different school, you wouldn't know them

When you think of all the money DeV stole to establish the Irish Press it’s pretty amazing Gavin went under for just over €3000

You could have got pedantic and said it was the name of the state 😉 See you tomorrow

One of those things is not like the others. Do you think we can't see that and the message it sends?

You are definitely missing out on The Wire

So there is a real constituency for people simply saying I don't care about the complexities - look at Badenoch on deportations, I know people say her refusal to answer the second question was a sign of laziness but I think they gamed that out.

Sadly I don't think this is an "inability" but a deliberate choice. The takeaway from Trump is that politicians saying of difficult things "this is difficult" has driven a large number of people mad.

And he knows it - which is why the SNP opposed zonal pricing - though it's desperate that no one notices this fact.
