I'm vaguely surprised it took him this long.

This.
Well done for hanging long enough for Kingies visit.

😂😂😂😂 "Kristi Noem's bag with $3,000 stolen from DC restaurant"

I don't actually condone theft and I know that I move in different circles but who carries $3000 in cash these days?
Stupid is as stupid does.

Memories of a certain Cakestop long-running theme, including input from RC on this very subject.

Why is it topical? Brexit happened years ago.

Because opinions of historical events can change. It's never too late to learn from your mistakes. As the public seems to be doing.

They are still aiming for both.

Interesting comment from Xi yesterday that China will apply tarrifs to any country that does a trade deal with the US that compromises China.

It is almost like the subtle approach of the US to ask countries to put tarrifs on China in exchange for a deal with them will fail.

Now, can I just check. How shocked are the NACA gang that a frail 88 year old man with one lung who had been in hospital for 5 weeks with a severe infection that led to double pneumonia has now passed away?

Not at all.

This blind ignorance of the reality of the situation leads to hysterical outbursts

🤔

Wonder where I've seen that before

It's almost like it's not a subtle approach, and Xi isn't stupid.

(PS, sorry, pedant hat on, it's one R and two F's in 'tariff', as it comes from Italian tariffa, and the two F's make it a short I, rather than "tarreefa")

That shows an element of fear from the Chinese. They're a super power in commerce and military so are flexing their influence

BadEnoch is being a rhetorical scalpel on R4 this morning. PM in waiting.

"I was business secretary, so I know about steel."

"We haven't had an election since the last one."

"Too many politicians make policy announcements on the radio."

A bit like when Micheal Spinks scared the shoot out of Mike Tyson?

I rely too much on spellcheck.

Amol's not exactly surgically focused when interviewing politicians, but he did try to get her to say something beyond the banal. Maybe she's keeping her powder dry in much the same way as Starmer did before the last election.

I think she is, but it is incommensurate with going on the attack all the time. o
Or doing so with only marginally more eloquence than Priti Patel.

And more use of the letter g.

Although Private Eye noted this week that a donation has been made to Tugendhat again. HIs previous donations from this particular donor all coincided with Tory leadership battles. So all may not be so rosy within the Conservative Party. Maybe Badenoch is not Goodenoch.

So more historical than topical.

It might be worth looking at which country we export to and import from the most and explaining how that fits in with your random blue sky poster's theory.
