How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

Appalling to see one crucial element of football -- corner kicks -- now turned into rugby.
One word : "Data".
shotgun not me but think there's scope here for a proper, lengthy, meaty feature looking at every single policy area in Britain that's currently fucked specifically because of a decision George Osborne took, reckon you could make it an actual mag cover, his fingerprints are everywhere

Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

A cynic might suggest that the move to embed betting markets in newsrooms is mere marketing: an attempt to signal that these are somehow different from, and superior to, casinos. www.theverge.com/business/881...

Mason, Coates and others cut their teeth under Johnson and Brexit.
For them, politics is light entertainment. They're no different to gossip columnists and offer zero serious analysis of the complex world of 2026.

The difficulty for Starmer, McSweeney and co re the "discovery" of Mandelson's bad character is that they appointed him as ambassador to Trump in the belief that his bad character would be an asset

Aaron Parnas reports: In an interview with FBI agents, a survivor told agents that Ghislaine Maxwell "presented" her to Donald Trump, making clear she was "available."
This isn't a tip. This is an FBI 302, an interview with agents.
