It depends if you prefer a former quangocrat with no answers to this country's problems or a professional politician with seven answers to each of this country's problems depending on the time of day.Good luck to Andy Burnham today.You reckon Burnham is ?
We need somebody who can take on Reform and prevent them getting power.
Starmer is clearly not up to that task.
I hope he is but I just think he’s a more charismatic version of Starmer.
The 2020s here really are the definition of a lost decade.

Nice top hat on that storage tank.
I would guess this photo will get used in plenty of places as the definitive image of Ukraine's campaign against Russian oil infrastructure.

I don't think Big_G or Old King C have arranged marriages ?Lucky you.Did you ever wake up, kiss the person sleeping beside you and feel glad you're alive?This morning actually.
I did.
Can’t fly with QANTAS any more though.
I absolutely got bodied my eldest son recently.
He's doing his exams and we were talking about his future, and I told him his grandparents might want him to have an arranged marriage, my son's response was
'I might go for that, they've been married for over 50 years, you've not had a relationship that's lasted more than 5 years.'
They seem to have done OK.

It looks as though China might have been better prepared for Trump's war than was Trump (or us).
Fascinating argument by Bloomberg's top energy analyst Javier Blas 👇: he argues that China effectively saved the world economy during the Iran war by absorbing the brunt of the global oil supply shock on its own, without visible economic damage.
According to his calculations, China "cut its average daily waterborne oil imports by the same amount as the combined oil consumption of Germany, France and the UK."
And, still according to Blas, they "did so without suffering economic harm" because they could rely on many levers: their huge strategic petroleum reserve, a massive surge in EV usage, their remaining coal-fired electricity capacity, and coal-to-chemicals replacing lost feedstocks...

Well done England, we enjoyed the match.

If he's said that during a Select Committee then it'll be because it's the government line that he's duty bound to follow. You should direct your ire towards the government not the Civil Servsnt.Our government now has MoD civil servants lobbying against spending more in defence.His testimony sounds utterly pathetic. Get rid.
Awkward for the new Defencd Secretary.
"One of the best forms of deterrence is a strong economy"🗣️
A top MOD official has warned that cuts to other government departments to fund defence could ultimately damage the UK's security

Re: Why the polls might be underestimating Burnham – politicalbetting.com
I’m happy for England to ship the odd goal if we get that style of play . And of course if we continue to outscore the opponent!I'm still not altogether sure about Tuchel, but there was an elan about that performance that we never saw with Southgate.
A very enjoyable game !

There’s at least four or five large fires at the site now, looks somewhat apocalyptic.
