The Canadian Conservative Party are so buggered, they'll end up with 2 MPs at the end of the month.
The Canadian Conservative Party has suffered a big setback due to its links with Donald Trump, but they shouldn’t despair, another right-wing visionary is riding to the rescue.
Liz Truss, the novella of British leaders, has been deployed to say the new Liberal prime minister Mark Carney did “a terrible job” as governor of the Bank of England and “created a lot of the problems that blew up on my watch and that I got blamed for”.
It’s characteristic of Truss to so bravely blame another, but she also said that Carney was now backing policies which were “leading the country to bankruptcy”.
You’d have thought she would rejoice upon finding such a like-minded soul.

Terrible news for Russia on the oil price front: OPEC+ increasing production by 450,000 bopd whilst Saudi is cutting the price it charges.

This follows Trump's demand slump on the back of his tariff recession fears. India and China aren't going to need Moscow's discounted oil deals - they can get it on the open market without risk of attendant sanctions.
Oh, and the rate of inflation in Russia is up to an official 10.1% in February, whilst production rose by just 0.1%. Stagflation writ large.

Great header, thanks Sean, I really enjoyed it.
Off topic, been away from politics for a while focusing on things closer to home, so just catching up on Badenoch's outrageous comments about the Labour MPs detained by the Israelis. I'm gobsmacked. She's a disgrace to the office of LOTO.

Some of us don't bother putting our socks on in the first place.UK suffers "unprecedented" slump in productivity: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/britain-suffers-unprecedented-fall-in-productivity/ar-AA1CuEjn?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=d06ef92cf67d40fe83f42058c08e0692&ei=14Have to say David, some of us work our socks off at home, but doubt I am the average.
When are we going to stop pretending that those working from home are actually working?

A feature of the classical Greek world was that long-term alliances, as we would understand the term, rarely existed. A major power, be it Athens, Sparta, Thebes, or Macedon, would attempt to assert supremacy over its neighbours, and if successful, it would be accepted by them as Hegemon. Typically, a Hegemon would expect its allies to follow it in war, accept garrisons of its soldiers, and c…

Mind you, I can't see how any patriotic Briton could vote for Trumps English gimpneither, but Farage leads the polls.

So Strava's sent me a message to say I have the third-fastest run time on a segment (part of a route).
Feeling rather proud, I logged in to see. And indeed, I was third fastest. On a segment on a new road.
That only three people had run along.
I'll still take that as a win.
