Denmark delenda est.

Is that Scottish Gaelic?

No, its English overconfidence, because most Scots are currently hiding behind the sofa.

One thing I am not when it comes to sport is being over confident.

Growing up in the 1990s as an England cricket fan destroys any confidence.

It's also why I never get mad when the team do poorly or lose some games, because I know that on their day they can be great and beat anyone, so it is still better than those dark times.

The Ashes start on Friday, I am fully prepared for Australia to beat us 5 nil, again.

It was Clay Higgins and it was no accident. He said:

"I have been a principled “NO” on this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America. As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc. If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt. Not by my vote. The Oversight Committee is conducting a thorough investigation that has already released well over 60,000 pages of documents from the Epstein case. That effort will continue in a manner that provides all due protections for innocent Americans. If the Senate amends the bill to properly address privacy of victims and other Americans, who are named but not criminally implicated, then I will vote for that bill when it comes back to the House."

To be honest he has a point and credit to him standing by his principles.

If it is true, as Polly Toynbee in Guardian asserts, that Reeves backed out of her 2p income tax rise at the "command" of Downing Street, why didn't save some dignity and resign?

Integrity has disappeared from politics

That is as may be, but remember however that Boris Johnson got all the big calls right.

Um... he turned the moderate Tories into the snow, creating a ludicrous reality-denying, populist fiasco, and all to defend his disastrous judgement on Brexit, for which both he and Farage should be left in the political stocks for the rest of their lives.

As for Ukraine, he claims vast credit, but that is, quite frankly, stolen valor .

I was being very impish. I can't stand the vile f*****.
