Sounds great but we’ve just seen Starmer bang on about us being tied into the US so we need to keep them friendly. Painful watch.

Depressing how far the
BBC has fallen.

Absolutely crazy. Whoever signed this off should be prosecuted

Bar chart of global high-speed rail costs – A ranked list showing HS2 (UK) at the top as the most expensive high-speed rail project per kilometre ($537mn), followed by Tokyo–Nagoya, Lyon–Turin, and others, using PPP-adjusted 2025 dollars.

Britain’s HS2 rail project has been relegated by many to the status of sorry joke, but FT analysis showing that it is now the most expensive strip of train line in the world is really not very funny at all (at least, not if you’re a British taxpayer).

An #FTEdit 🧵 on how the costs have mounted 👇

You think Christmas is Christian these days? 😂

Milne mistake by wtf was Devlin doing coving the cutback instead of the shot?

Not even sure that hit his arm the camera angles were so bad, they are just guessing, which is typical Scottish football.

No matter what format they put out there will never be real jeopardy as to ensure they can sell the rights they want the big teams in as much and as long as possible. It’s engineered like that. Seedings for example.

I find the lack of political direction on this depressing. We don’t want to help parents have kids, they must only have them if they can afford them. At the same time no immigration! Are we trying to go extinct?

People are fickle, the Tories got elected back in with Boris in 2019 on a massive win to ‘get Brexit done’ as people were fed up with it all. We had 4 years of utter carnage which damaged our economy, reputation & standard of living. Going to take decades to repair. Trump is a lot worse, good luck!

Sorry but this is rubbish, the only reason he has any following is his disproportionate air time, and even then he still mostly disliked. If it was down to popularity we would see a lot more LDs and Greens too - we dont, I wonder why?

Great technique from Marcus Rashford there, inside of the foot on the half volley from distance, far more control over the shot. #MUfC.

Is the problem here not both the legacy and new media’s need for constant engagement? Everything is an issue. One side super pro anyone that might have an ancestor that’s been wronged vs the right with white is going extinct etc. balance & sense has left the room.

This started a long time ago, you’ve got unfettered capitalism and an education system that seems to produce extremes, lots of top class degrees and lots with awful knowledge on anything.The latter is all over Twitter and buys into the Musk/Trump narratives.

Both were brilliant in their own ways, not sure why either has to be better, but both were miles better than black grape 😂

The massive positive to the second album was some before release described it a bit like Zeppelin, so I bough the Zep remasters (always thought they were heavy metal) and found a phenomenal band I’d ignored.

As a dons fan I’ve been catching the odd girona game, they simply don’t play to suit him. He doesn’t the the ball in the right areas, one of the reasons for their poor form. He’ll score lots in the right team.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

So what’s the excuse for being just as barking since then? Maybe she was never fit to be PM and we need something in to prevent PMs being created with public input.

The thing about election polling is you need an election to test it, so you can only update your methodology every 4 years for a big election, why polls are a hard to do.

I’m all for standing up to Putin but feel this is one time we should hold, however I doubt Biden has done with without others agreeing to as well.

It might be worth following then, might make better policy and debating points 😂

Some people want it to be their little echo chamber, they can do that by blocking etc, I like to hear all sides within reason. But there was too much Propaganda and full on bull on X,. Reasoned arguments fine, pure lies, not so.

Well it’s likely going to be painful for all of us, but it might kill this type of populism and fear factor politics for a long time if they crash the US. Let’s hope it doesn’t cause WW3 and a Great Depression 2.

I assume your already well stocked on toilet roll as you haven’t mentioned it 😂

1/ X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to systematically boost Republican-leaning accounts and Elon Musk's own account following his endorsement of Donald Trump, according to a newly released computational study of engagement from the Queensland University of Technology.⬇️

The irony in your comment is a lot of hard core nationalists share very common beliefs with hard core reform voters. I know as I have 2 nationalists in my office that don’t like immigration, English or anyone else. One even bangs on about small boats ffs. Hard core Nationalism is the same all over.

I think it’s from a promotional holiday tour video for a resort called ‘Epstein Island’ can’t find it on the jet2 site anymore so maybe it’s Tripadvisor reviews weren’t great 🤷🏻‍♂️

We took the kids to one of those chalets around 2009, omg we never went back, a dive. It was more survival training than a holiday 😂

And a trending…
