Electoral Commission figures show the SNP took £4,000 in donations in the first quarter of 2023. Both Scottish Labour and the Scottish Lib Dems registered more than £200,000. https://t.co/cqrRVK2F2o

Fucking disgrace we share a monarch with them.
Ban them from putting the Union Jack on their flag.
Australia were unsporting not to withdraw that appeal.
Bairstow was a muppet for allowing it to happen.
Steve Smith drops a Stokes sitter.
DROPPPPPED....LOL.
Suella Braverman’s rhetoric about child sexual abuse and grooming gangs has cost her the support of an influential Conservative backer, Steve Baker, in a sign her hardline approach to culture war issues could hamper her chances of becoming Tory leader.
Baker, a Tory MP on the Brexiter right of the party, who is now a Northern Ireland minister, was Braverman’s de facto campaign manager when she stood to succeed Boris Johnson as Conservative leader and prime minister last summer.
While Braverman, now the home secretary, was eliminated in the second round of MPs’ voting, her candidacy was seen as a marker for a possible future contest, one likely if the Conservatives lose the next general election.
However, it is understood Baker has decided he would not back Braverman again because of serious concerns over the way she has approached the issue of so-called grooming gangs.

I remind anyone who might be inclined to object to my use of inverted commas around "Scottish" that none of the 3 unionist parties are recognised as parties by the electoral commission. They are branch offices pretending to be something else (notable that none of the 3 ruling elements of these parties call themselves English Labour Party etc. etc.)

Good article, thank you.
That they had to rely on a 6 figure loan from their own chief executive is very telling. That is not what well run organisations do.

9 go in the Irish Derby, five are trained by Aidan O'Brien and one each by his sons Joseph and Donnacha so it's a bit like the private sweepstakes of old. AUGUSTE RODIN is 3/10 to follow up from Epsom and probably wins - he has a fair bit in hand on WHITE BIRCH and SPREWELL.
Nine means three places so one at a big price to crawl in the frame - the money has come for SAN ANTONIO from 40s to 22s but I'd have a small amount on PROUD AND REGAL at 40s - he's a full to a couple of decent stayers and I'm sure it all happened too quick in the Irish 2000 Guineas last time.

Edit: not at all clear to me how one can be specific about how much £££ Slab do or don't receive, in that context, as for instance stated in the header.
He clearly grounded his foot, having returned to his ground, didn’t he (?) - and looked back at it to confirm before stepping away again.
Technically, he can be said to have started a run, and then returned to his ground ?
30.1.2 However, a batter shall not be considered to be out of his/her ground if, in running or diving towards his/her ground and beyond, and having grounded some part of his/her person or bat beyond the popping crease, there is subsequent loss of contact between the ground and any part of his/her person or bat, or between the bat and person.
Come along, Mr Stokes, Papa needs a new pair of everything !!
It’s not as though we will ever hear the end of anything else from him, either.
virtually our whole political class would face the chop.
We'd end up with almost no MPs at all and tumbleweed blowing through the Chamber in 2025.
No doubt it will be argued over, but the facts look quite plain to me - unless you can point out how I’m misinterpreting the laws ?
Ukrainian commander warns French tanks are inadequate for counteroffensive

…"They are used for supporting fire, because of their light armour," he said. "Their armament is good, their observation instruments are very good. But unfortunately it's light armour, which makes them unsuitable."
In January, French President Emmanuel Macron promised the delivery of these highly mobile reconnaissance armoured vehicles on wheels, equipped with a formidable 105mm cannon. Four months later, they were already in service on the front line, according to the Ukrainian government.
But in this high-intensity war marked by constant heavy artillery strikes, their thin armour is proving to be a major weakness, according to Major Spartanets.
"There have been cases where a 152mm shell has exploded nearby and the shrapnel has pierced the vehicle," noted the 34-year-old officer, who said this has already resulted in the death of the crew on one occasion.
"A shell exploded next to the vehicle, the fragments pierced the armour and the stock of ammunition (on board) was detonated", says the Ukrainian officer. "The crew of four, unfortunately, remained inside; they were killed in the armoured vehicle."…
Three more Spanish polls today, one shows the race quite close with s tightening lead for the right of just 3% but the other two see healthy larger leads. With 3 weeks to the poll it could still go either way.
"We have unreservedly apologised to the Australian Team and will deal with any Member who has not maintained the standard we expect through our disciplinary processes.
"It was not necessary to eject anyone from the ground and I am pleased to say that there was no repeat of this as the players resumed the field for this afternoon.""

Broad bash to try to unsettle the Aussies?
Going at 2-3 an over wont' cut it, even though there is technically time.
If it had been say Ali, Woakes, Broad, Anderson. Stokes wouldn't have had to hide Ali and Woakes away from the bowling, thus the pressure would have really been Australia.
Like imagine playing that innings and it not being your best in Test cricket.

ArsenalAussies, always cheating.Still, imagine the hilarity if Anderson nurdled his way to a 50 and shocked the world.
