In my 35 years in the UK before Sydney became home, vast majority under the Tories. Not because they were better but due to this kind of nonsensical back room dealings. UK would be different had Labour stopped Thatcher. Tories and Reform in an unholy union await. What a mess.

AUKUS joins the conversation as THE BIGGEST stuff up...

Much underused and devastating when used in the correct context. Paterson definitely qualifies as a twerp

Indeed. Places like World Square may be uncomfortable

Hanson will drive the Coalition further right and to the extremes. It leaves a vacuum into which will come the Teals and Labor. Hanson is a spoiler not an alternative leader of Australia

Gently being basted by the heat trapped in the concrete bowl that is Barangaroo.

Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester is worth keeping an eye on. May be parachuted into a safe seat to challenge.

He would sell off the White House if given the chance

Spot on. The three Abrahamic faiths direct not to harm life. Zionism on the other hand is a political movement that supports Eretz Yisrael. The Land of Israel. The PR department behind the State of Israel works overtime to conflate the two as you have noted to hide Zionism behind that.

Penny is hamstrung by Marles and Albanese on one side and State Dept in Washington on the other. Our foreign policy is written by the US

Two names. Russell Vought and Stephen Miller. They will be around for a long time after Trump has turned to dust.

Better the devil you know? If not Starmer then who will step up? Reeves?

Those bikes carry weight and moderate speed plus acceleration. Kids of that age have little road sense or ability to control the bike at speed. If they want to die that's up to them but don't hurt anyone. Contact sports damage player not a bystander

It's a perfect Sydney summer day. Hot enough but not oppressive

The sunk cost of the dismal Ford F150 Lightning project has to be recouped somehow

Curling is mesmerizing. Ice hockey where ocassionaly a game breaks out anoungst the body checks

To react like that in bullying fashion to a highly respected journalist clearly suggests he is deflecting

With grateful thanks to veterans for their service but their views are backwards looking. Government of the day has to look ahead. These are properties surplus to requirements

Hmm. Minnesota? Is that to stop the hordes of illegal migrants pouring across the northern border from Canada? This is just a politically motivated act as payback by Trump against Gov Walz

Becoming a mouthpiece for its owner. No need to bother with news any more

It is right to focus on global matters but also include day to day stuff. E bikes running around on the road with kids wearing shorts and thongs is an issue. Ask any motorbike rider what it feels like to lose control and fall off.

Who's a very good girl? Penny the doberman wins Westminster Best in Show Penny emerged victorious from a field of 2,499 dogs from more than 200 breeds, before a single judge selected him from a finalist group.

Mandy held the Prince of Darkness moniker during the Blair days with good reason

The Art of Not Giving a F*K is more appropriate given that the Libs did not at the thought of his leadership

Clive being Clive.

CGT discount on the family home distorts valuation and capital flows. Keep the discount on qualifying businesses, on investment into innovation and so on. Otherwise it just keeps funds into homes that become a tax shelter and not actual shelter
