Unfounded optimism for the Dems or a hint that things may be better for them than expected.
The early voting effort is designed to address the latter but also seems to gut their vote on the day which is heavily republican.
Definitely lost them some of the female vote though.
Brazil’s World Cup squad is ready. Nine forwards. Nine.

I think what Sunak needs to be careful of is that he's not naïve about the many politicians, NGOs and activists that are advocating for climate reparations for whom saving the planet is a figleaf for their real objective of wealth redistribution.
So Gavin Williamson has said he regrets it but hasn't apologised. And Sunak thinks what he did was unacceptable but still has confidence in him.
All seems reasonable enough.

To independent-minded voters:
A commitment to truth, decency, and the rule of law curbs the worst excesses of partisan zealotry and demagoguery. Therefore I generally recommend voting for Democrats, given that today's GOP is not committed to truth, decency, and the rule of law.
He proudly showed it to his wife.
"Hmmmm......" she deflated him. "Where's your goalie?"

A quarter of UK adults have less than £100 set aside in savings, a survey suggests, leaving them vulnerable to rising and unexpected bills.

Is your position “not a single penny?”
For aid/development/encouraging clean technology take-up? That's a different matter.
UK govt set to legislate to extend the deadline for calling an election in Northern Ireland
— Announcement expected Weds
— Vote could now be late Feb
— Can kicked again as EU talks go on
— Biden admin unhappy…

What advantage declaring in advance (when everyone knows he intends to run)?
EDF have just sent £66 to my bank account. I like cost of living crises.
Mine is still heating the house without the aid of any gas, although if I get through to next week with that still being the case I will be quite surprised.
The same pressures to not spend on things like aid will apply if it is called reparations, so it is not the case that framing it that way will make it more binding than relying on pressuring us to more generosity.
Seems to be his default position on anything to do with Ireland.
Polling: 4pts in favour of the amendment
Result: 19pts against the amendment.
Vibes 100% did not pickup on that. Although voter registration statistics did.

Enering the contest could, possibly. help some here decide on bets.
(No,I haven't entered, though I may.)
It's a messy, probably counter productive stance, but it isn't ignoring the result, but choosing not to enact a policy following that result, and they aren't required to do so.
It might be equally outrageous, but it isn't the same.
Absolutely key points from counsel for the Charity Commission. The law absolutely does not require all charities to have one particular view of issues that are highly contentious within society, as Mermaids seems to believe. Mermaids' position is fundamentally anti-democratic.

This is what happens when you only ever listen to people who agree with you…”No Debate” meets “the real world”.
Or don’t you agree with the premise of my question, we are actually in a no fault at all position?

They are sinking because they were built on and the natural process of regeneration has been stopped.
The Bahamas are coral islands which have survived an astonishing 4000m of local sea level change over millions and millions of years, including multiple glaciations and a period much warmer than today.
In the more recent past, it was only 10,000 years ago that Doggerland disappeared as the ice sheets melted.
The same Pacific coral islands survived that fine.

It does mention both “gender” and “Tory” twice…
I am curious, though, as to who leaked the texts to the press. They certainly intended to do for Williamson.
I think the Republicans gain NV, probably fairly comfortably.
I think GA is going to a run-off, which could be very interesting.
And I think the Republicans should be favourites in AZ, but not massive ones.
However, if we look at the stardates, the original Star Trek was set in 2266, while The Next Generation was set in 2364. This therefore assumes an interval of 98 years between generations, and therefore the next Scottish referendum should be held in 2112.
However, whichever generational measure we prefer, the referendum campaign should be led by a bald Frenchman with a polished English accent.
Rishi presumably appointed GW because he values the political skills he brings to the table. He shouldn’t buckle just because it’s this week’s story to try to get Williamson fired.
