Speaking of Kemi Badenoch, we should not forget the two Scottish by-elections tomorrow. Kemi's fate might be determined by the Conservative showing in Aberdeen South (Stephen Flynn's old seat, vacated after his election to Holyrood). Conservatives will expect a close second at least, and will be hoping for a win.

Does Rentoul know something or is he just stating the bleeding obvious?

If Reform loses in Makerfield tomorrow, esp if it loses badly, look out for recriminations spilling into the open

World Cup betting post.
I think Group I is quite interesting. I almost think it's better to come second in that group than first. With that in mind, I can see Norway v Senegal being a draw. It would confirm Norway as qualified (and almost certainly in at least second place) and would give Senegal a very good chance of qualifying with a win against Iraq. Given Senegal are on -2 gd, three points might be tight for them so a point against Norway would be good.
Current odds are around 41% a Norway win, 28% the draw, 32% a Senegal win. I've backed the draw and laid Norway as I wasn't that impressed with them last night so think Senegal more likely to win.
As ever, DYOR.

It's very comforting to see a new opinion poll today putting the Greens down on 9%, their lowest for a long time.Not if one is a Green.

Nein, aber ich habe Deutsch und Franzoesisch in Schule gelernt.FptImperial College used to demand German for science students, at least up to the 1980s so several decades after Germany was *the* scientific powerhouse. Whether Sunil had to sprechen sie Deutsch...
O tempora! O mores! A short time line:
1920: Qualification in Greek ceases to be compulsory for Oxford
1960: Qualification in Latin ceases to be compulsory for Oxford
2026: Government considers making qualification in English Language a requirement for student loans.

The Combined Authorities (Mayoral Elections) Order 2026 has passed through Parliament.
This means the Supplementary Vote system has returned for Combined Authority Mayoral Elections, and would apply should a Mayoral By-Election be triggered in Greater Manchester.

Hang on, Burnham has wielded the dagger by running in this by election (and wanting to run in the previous one).

Burnham's bubble is going to be looking saggier than his manboobs before the summer's out.I expect Team Starmer are desperately searching for some unearthed skeletons in the Burnham closet . I would have thought if there was anything interesting it would have been found already but you never know .Is this Starmers Hail Mary ?Probably. There are already signs the Burnham balloon is slowly deflating even if it has not burst.
Try and kick a leadership challenge past the summer and hope something pops up that bursts the Burnham balloon.
I wish it wasn't the case but portents are he's more spineless and easily swayed than even Starmer.
