Of course you should have gone with Trump. The biggest political story on the planet.
Mr. Cabinet, worth noting there's still a border dispute between India and China (and perhaps more than one, now I come to think of it).
Prize for anyone who gets that really obscure pun...
Former ministers’ peerages ‘scrapped to avoid by-elections’

I'm still contemplating the betting implications.
IIRC once this indictment is out of the way the grand jury will focus on Georgia.

And a bigger one on Tuesday when we discover the actual charges and time frames.
Rishi given a wife beater a knighthood is definitely UK news and it shows a willingness to ignore fundamental flaws to solve minor issues.

Essentially China wants to protect the heartland - it defines this as including all the headwaters of the Yellow and Yangtze rivers, so the Himalayas are a natural point of conflict with India
Likewise, women who have been sexually assaulted may well prefer to have female officers question them rather than men. That's not unreasonable.
Those are 16 electoral votes he needs to win if he wants to win back the White House.

I have gazed into my crystal ball and can see that none of these are likely to be claimed anytime soon.
Appoint today with Jenna or next month with Dr Jones - your choice...
But it will reduce his chances of winning the Presidency.
Ergo, betting advice: lay DeSantis for nominee, lay Trump for President.
Very nice event, lots of decent Aussie wine and Scotch whisky, pleasant diplomatic speeches by various officials. Then Kemi Badenoch took to the stage, and in the course of a very short speech managed to have a dig at French railway workers (she was fresh back from Paris) as proof we were right to Brexit, throw in a jibe at the Guardian, and rushed through her words in such a cursory way it was borderline Boris-like. Not sure if it was deliberate or she was just tired after a day of meetings, but it left one with the impression of someone who might not be so good at the core prime ministerial skill of holding a sword still at a coronation.
I find Morris's refusal to quote the post he is replying to very tedious.
Still, here's a thread noting all the leading Republicans, as they declare him innocent without viewing the evidence against him.
Gonna start a thread of Republicans who love Trump more than their country who are also pretending that Trump didn't get elected by insisting that Presidential candidates could be investigated and arrested.

If you read beyond the pitchforks & burning torches headline, the piece itself says patients can request a same sex member of staff in the cases of intimate examinations or if they have been a victim of sexual violence.
Constituents whom DeSantis has already publicly condemned without viewing the evidence.
This sounds true because it follows the all important Wile E Coyote rule of being the one caught out by your ill-conceived plan...
Instead of spending £28bn a year from the start of a Labour government, 'we will ramp up to the £28bn' in the second half of a first term in office.

I don’t care which party a politician is from I just wish they could drop the whole bullshit of turning every conversation, interview or speech into a partisan soundbite opportunity.
They want trans people to be invisible to society, while simultaneously demanding they be informed about anyone who is trans.
It is as much or more for protection of staff as patients.
Rachel Reeves has scrapped Labour’s pledge to spend £28bn a year on green prosperity plan after weeks of fierce internal criticism
She says Labour will now ‘ramp up’ spending on green prosperity over course of Parliament - the £28bn figure appears to have been ditched
But pledge still significantly watered down - it was £28bn a year
Tax has raised £2.8bn to date to fund energy support schemes, government says but will end if oil and gas prices return to normal by 2028.

Anecdote - a male doctor acquaintance was called upon to do an intimate examination of a woman. The chaperone called in was his wife (also a doctor). A strange situation for both of them - they did not disclose their relationship to the patient, as it would have made the whole experience odder for her, too.
I do not understand why they can't just do the polite thing and quote the post they are responding to.
As far as I know, the only male regularly on the premises is a physiotherapist who rents a room for a half day a week.

It is interesting your long to go back to another era when Labour also liked losing.
We have different toilets for the protection of women. Personally, I'm of the view that until a person has had the surgery to remove their male anatomy, they should be considered a man. However, if they are presenting as a woman and wouldn't alarm anyone, then I don't see too much of an issue with toilets.
The doctor situation is tricky. I can fully understand why a woman would want to see a female doctor, so I don't think it's unreasonable that a female patient should be able to demand that. I think patients should be prioritised over the feelings of some doctors.
It seems that "butch" Cis-women are also being increasingly challenged.
Tony Blair maintained a broad church invested heavily in Public Services and had the full range of the left in his Cabinets

Centrists wanted Labour to lose in 2017 and 2019
Worked to divert monies away from winnable marginals because getting rid of a Socialist leader was more important than winning a GE
Them not me are responsible for the Tory excesses.
SKS is continuation Tory continuation austerity continuation privatiser of the NHS continuation lying politician
He offers nothing to the poorest in Society
He is no Tony Blair
Though he did win his seat of Sedgefield unlike Labour under Corbyn in 2019, after having lost in the Beaconsfield by election to the Tories the previous year. One thing Sunak and Starmer have not had unlike Blair in Beaconsfield (and indeed Cameron and Boris who both lost seats to Labour before getting Witney and Henley) is experience of personal defeat in an election campaign which would toughen them up.
While both competent they both got shoehorned into safe seats straight away in 2015, Starmer in Holborn and St Pancras and Sunak in Richmond and I think that may show for both of them in the general election next year.
I do think this makes the general election harder for Trump but, again, not by much. Maybe a few swing states move lean Democratic.
Being honest I can see his viewpoint - I really can't see why Vanilla doesn't just allow you to reference a message id giving it built in threading.
