I am so old I remember when Donald Trump used to call Marco Rubio ‘Little Marco’ so getting insulted by Donald Trump isn’t a new thing, I find it interesting that Marco Rubio might get the MAGA backing rather than JD Vance.

Although I'm actually more disappointed in Rubio than anything. I always thought of him as a bit slippery but fundamentally intelligent and thoughtful in a way Vance simply isn't.
And here he is smarming his way up Mushroom Shaped's arse.

Burnham-Backing Labour MP: “The Markets Will Have to Fall in Line”
Of course, he has to hide much of this and act like a gimp, in the Court of The Donald

The terrifying thing is that they are so stupid they probably believe this. All it needs is "political will power" and you can face down the bond markets. It's like thinking you can change the laws of mathematics by frowning a lot
It's like the Child catcher and Mr Humphries had a love child no one knows about.
A fascinating presentation by Kate Carpenter, Vice President of the Chartered Institute for Highways and Transportation, about how demographics and population variability affects transportation and safety.
(An example is the impact that Crash Test dummies largely being based on a 50th-percentile man has on the safety of women - who are smaller and have different muscular-skeletal and soft-tissue, children - who are very different, and older people - who's bodies are not used, has on their safety in motor vehicles.)
Deep link to the start of her presentation:

There's a Q&A at the end for enthusiasts, and a further short presentation on the effect of sideroad Zebra Crossings.
Though last time we had one of those (wesforleader.co.uk) it turned out to be an attack site.

If borrowing goes up, so will the cost of borrowing.
Perfectly in lockstep with the governments actions.
Isn’t that what they meant?
Labour MP texts: "PM banned no fault evictions which has come in handy because he’s not moving out without the full legal process."
BREAKING NEWS
Reporters on the ground say Angela Rayner was seen in the rear of the vehicle alongside Andy Burnham.
The car appears to be heading toward the Millbank Studios (BBC/Sky News). This strongly suggests a televised joint statement is imminent.
We are no longer waiting for a "slow move." The arrival of Burnham and Rayner at a TV studio, combined with the 81-letter threshold being hit, means we are likely hours away from an official leadership contest being triggered."

The markets will treat the situation as they see fit, which right now means the highest borrowing costs for the government since 1998.
Up 0.2pp in two days, which is somewhere around another £6bn a year over time.
If you’re expecting a stock market crash, UK gov gilts at 5.15% look like they might be value.
Am hearing critical cabinet ministers still trying to meet with PM and so far have not succeeded…
A coalition of Labour, Green, Eco-Socialist Independent and Liberal Democrat councillors. They were supported by, but did not include. another independent Group, with Conservatives and Morecambe Bay Independents (doughty campaigners for Morecambe to be free of the oppressive yolk of Lancaster and their city ways) in opposition.
PM was supposed to meet Labour-affiliated unions this afternoon, but it appears that meeting has now been cancelled.
No, Starmer is not very good. He plods, he has no political antennae, he's terrified of asking a question where he's not sure what the answer is going to be. He's also old- the country has moved on in how it thinks about the world, and his map is stuck in the issues and fears of the 80s and 90s. It would be much better for everyone; for him, for us, if he hadn't ended up as Prime Minister. Had things gone to plan, and he had lost in 2023 having de-Corbynised the Labour Party, nobody would be calling him the Greatest PM We Never Had.
But. He was better than the alternatives in 2020. He was better than the alternatives in 2024. And the last few days have been a crash course in how he's better than the alternatives in 2026. That's the mess we are all in now.
Genius!
If they can't find him, or make him listen, they can't remove him

She makes an argument that a proper equality comes from understanding all the data about your whole user population, rather than philosophical or political dogmas of any sort.
I quite like that.

More seriously they do now use female and child dummies in crash tests, modeling the elderly is a little more difficult but you could mostly do it with different sensor thresholds.
And much though I despise the craven ignorant fool, very unfair on Vance who undoubtedly opposed this mad war to start with (albeit likely for less than noble reasons).
LBC reporting there’s an “imminent” announcement of a Greater Manchester seat coming which would be ripe for an Andy Burnham candidacy.
"The Chancellor (Rachel Reeves) is reportedly in "emergency talks" with the Bank of England. History shows that once gilt yields hit these levels, a Prime Minister usually has only hours to restore order before the financial pressure forces their hand."

This pathetic and interminable fucking about, by Labour, is lierally going to bankrupt the country
But, don't worry, Andy Burnham will give the markets a good talking to
Peter Murrell next?
No?
Chapeau if so.
