West Wing theme plays....

Starmer has about 60 seconds to tweet "VAR is fucking bullshit. Ruins the game and needs to be scrapped. Going to organise a fan boycott later in the season. More details soon."

Wait, these aren't politics posts?

The printer apologised for a mistake I think? If we had more transparency, it would be easier to check the filed version against the one actually used. If transparency was removed at a later date by a new gov, that would be democratic backsliding.

Much more interest if you ran the campaign no?

Remember when Nigel Farage made that Ian Watkins video for £75 a few weeks ago? In 2029 he might be using that judgement to select the next Ambassador to the United States.

Hey. That's my local angle, not yours

Or you should just never do anything.

I found it hard to work out what Everton changed. Just got more competitive? Swapped wingers? They started well, but after 10 mins we looked excellent. Then they started the 2nd well and we didn't grab it back. V frustrating. Could have scored 4-5.

One way would be for parties to be required to upload election materials to a central repository with estimates of spend and reach. All material is digital now - it would be quite easy to do.

Run the attendee list against the files, add up the mentions etc.

Someone should build a tool so you can give the big global elite meetups an "Epstein Score". Munich Security Conference next week...

Reform have spent £3k on ads with him saying he's back home in the valleys. The ads are still live. www.facebook.com/ads/library/...

So the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina Hyde Obsessing over individual players and political chaos leaves less time to focus on the misogyny. And that’s for the best, isn’t it guys, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

You had to check if they had cooledit on their computers to see if they were "hack coke fiend degenerates" or not

When you're trying to do 3-4 things at once, both professional and family, it can be really fucking hard to work out if you had a good week or not.

This is some absolute bullshit right here.

They're going to spell it "skin color" aren't they?

US government to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe State department grants to spread ‘American values’ are part of Washington’s 250th anniversary celebrations

Imho, they're going to be too cheap to do this properly, and too untrusting to just give the money without making it too weirdly and forcedly American. www.ft.com/content/f869...

Also, many people choosing exit, not voice, leaving dregs.

And Telegraph readers would (likely, narrowly) elect a Tory government.

The EU is right and TikTok is wrong. They (and Instagram, and YouTube shorts) need to engage in a grown up conversation about user behaviour on their services and get on with making much needed changes.

Maybe worth a look at the Byzantine, oversubscribed tower of bureaucracy that forces evaluators to wade through thousands of pages of proposals and pick between them on a hair's breadth of a justification?

Ah well, death sentence for Orban's hopes.

I just assumed that was an actual canal. It's relentless!

Of course, the popular position here is for high functioning institutions, strong regulators, a great deal of transparency and formality to winning contracts etc. The opposite of what the forthcoming populist wave will demand.

Chief of lobbying firm founded by Mandelson to quit after Epstein backlash Benjamin Wegg-Prosser set to resign as Global Counsel chief executive

Chat shit get banged. www.ft.com/content/b3cc...

Every piece of research is "we showed how it could if 11 stars aligned" and is reported as "is".

As seems often to be the case with articles like this, there's no actual evidence presented that deepfake fraud is happening on an industrial scale.

Lying to clients? Seems like a dead company.
