Off Topic - So did they check under the hood & etc? Make sure they replaced your dipstick!
Excuse me, in first sentence, please substitute "bonnet" where you think appropriate.
As for 2nd, have no clue what you guys call an (automobile) dipstick? Though find it sinister, that you apparently call a "muffler" a "silencer"?
On my Tesla YouTube channel I've decided to be very British and mix the measures. So the back boot is the Boot. Not trunk. And the front book is the Frunk. Not Froot. Because Froot sounds stupid.
Really don't know why he's still in post. To channel the Moodies, since he's got to go why doesn't he go now?
As Jonathan and others noted, there are a lot of restive factions in the Conservative Party so perhaps Rishi is displaying Wilsonian party management. Or maybe the precedent of dodgy tax affairs being career-ending is not one to be encouraged.
And showed remarkable forbearance in not turning round and shooting the fncker.
Send him a narwhal tusk. This is, I believe the ceremonial weapon of True Anti Terrorists.
Someone petition King Charles - The Royal And Extraordinary Order Of The Narwal Tusk. Open to those who have foiled a terrorist attack, around the world. They will have a position in the various state ceremonies, forming an honour guard.
And Eabhal. Thanks for the advice, WiFi Calling is already enabled on my phone, so not sure why its playing up with the crackly calls and missed calls then?
We have BT Fibre Broadband which was installed by the developers before we moved in, we just needed to get it activated. Not had any other issues with WiFi.
Weird, works perfectly for me. Does it pop up as "WiFi call" or similar when you make a call?
Depends on network as I said above, they can prioritise mobile over Wi-Fi. Use Airplane Mode to force Wi-Fi Calling.
I'm on O2 here and with full reception my iPhone uses the radio access network as that is the priority O2 has set. I just use Airplane Mode when at home to work around this.
Is there a way to find out which networks have set a forced priority like that, and which haven't?
Eg with EE or Vodafone or anyone else would it act just as the same or would they let me choose on the phone to prioritise the Wifi (or simply have the phone prioritise whichever has the best signal)?

Though actually, like Biden, this appears simply to be cockup followed by cooperation with the authorities. Rather than lies and obstruction.
Even stipulating that your last para is 100% correct, just more good news for Trump & Etc. as it makes trying to convict HIM - at least in court of public opinion - of HIS massive, manifold security breaches VERY heavy lifting.
Of course not. She's not a Democrat in name or in spirit.
On the topic of 2024, looks like Pence, Haley, DeSantis and Pompeo are all running. They will split the vote and Trump will win Iowa. After that it's all over.

Re new sites easier said than done people keep rejecting them for causing “cancer”. Frankly I would make masts be installable anywhere without planning permission. Labour should make that policy.

The moment of nuclear risk is if and when Russia is being routed in an uncontrolled way and/or there looks like being revolution at home. Sending tanks during a period when the Russians are feeling quite confident with a few marginal gains under their belts is probably a good moment.

I think Zahawi will resign, and join the ranks of 'leaving my post to spend more time clearing my name' - soon to become the largest parliamentary grouping. That will mean Sunak can solemnly opine that he was right to resign, because we can't have that sort of thing, even though there was actually no wrongdoing, but he's resigned and there's an end of it.
What possible circumstances could excuse a cabinet minister being penalised for non payment of millions in tax? Whether deliberate or due to negligence on his part, it is a mortal wound.

And NOT a totally bad thing. For example, when judges factor in public opinion, in making decisions that go AGAINST the grain of public opinion.

I guess the worst moment for Sunak to sack Zahawi is after PMQs tomorrow
So it’s happening tomorrow morning then?
Won’t outmanoeuvre Starmer sacking just before PMQs as Starmer ain’t leading on Zahawhi anyway. He’s leading in the Albanian Gangsters picking up children (boys over 16) from where the government is keeping them in processing limbo and have now lost hundreds of them, without the Home Office even being able to say how many or who exactly now missing and working for the gangsters.
Starmer’s going to rip the Tories to shreds on immigration, crime and asylum tomorow. That’s PMQs big Story, and all through the afternoon in commons too.

I'm just gathering ideas for my upcoming series of alt-history politics novels.
It seems inevitable to me that what will happen in Ukraine is a new iron curtain. It is never going to return to a democracy, uneasily balanced between being Russian-oriented and Western-oriented. Financially and militarily, Western Ukraine is now a de-facto US protectorate, likely to join the EU and NATO, and Russia can't say or do anything about it.
On the other side, the Donbass bits could be reconquered, but that leads to its own issues - who represents these people now their political parties, language etc. have been banned in Ukraine? Also who pays for the reconstruction? Not me thanks. Russia owning the area is about the only way I see to get them to pay for any of it. Wherever the line is drawn, it looks to me like heavily garrisoned Western and Eastern Ukraine to me.
And showed remarkable forbearance in not turning round and shooting the fncker.
