I was going to say that I hope he got a refund but given it was Ryanair they are more likely to invoice him for the cost of replacing the window.
It just shows why it’s a bad idea to charge extra for the seatbelt.
Reminds me of one of my favourite jokes. Michael O'Leary goes into a bar in Dublin and asks how much is a pint of Guinness. "3 Euros" replies the barman. "Wow," says O'Leary, "that must be the cheapest Guinness in Dublin". "Yes indeed," says the barman, "Would you be wanting a glass with that?"
I wonder what broad and general government position and policy on Israel and its relations with the Arab/Islamic world, WRT both words and deeds, would command a reasonable degree of assent from the UK population?
I don't think the general UK population cares about Gaza, nor do they give two hoots about Israel either.
In fairness its pretty mutual. Neither the residents of Gaza nor Israel are likely to spend any time caring what we think.
Though strangely Israel/Israelis seem to expend large amounts of effort and cash to influence opinion in the UK.
Do you think Westminster, Holyrood and Cardiff are the only governments who waste money?
I dare say Bibi considers months and months of Starmer & co wibbling and prevaricating over Gaza as money well spent. Israel having the right to cut off power and water to Gaza would have been a high point.
You are assuming that there is a cause and effect here but wibbling and prevaricating is all that Starmer has done for 2 years. He really doesn't need any help, well he does, but you know what I mean.

I wouldn’t be so crass as to suggest that Starmer could be bribed, but lobbying is about getting a voice at the big table. On the cushion that takes the shape of the last arse that sat on him metric, pretty sure Starmer would be shaped by arses that have funded him and his cabinet to the tune of £100,000s.
Though she was discovered by a carer. So if she needed carers, she may have been frail, and it could just be a fall down the stairs for example.
The BBC have promoted to top story. Even as a bit of breaking news that strikes me that it could be something more than 'checking over a fall'. I rather hope I'm wrong and you're right.

Sadly, it may turn out that naming the house "Widdecombe's rest" with a bloody pig plaque on the garden wall was a poor idea.

Regarding stairs, it was a bungalow. But it might have been a split level bungalow. My mother lived in a bungalow but there were three steps between the living room and the kitchen.

The picture in the Sun shows at least part of it had a second story.

"Our murder enquiry is moving at a significant pace" doesn't sound like a fall investigation. Damn.
Bloody amazing run and came up against the French Open winner playing really well. The key for Fery will be how he kicks on from here. Top 10 is not out the question (and if Draper can get back to fitness we could have two in the top ten).

Its all around parliament. Plenty of MPs benefit from their friendship with Israel (CFI, LFI) meaning all expenses paid trips to the state and a good wedge for their election funds.
Listened to Jo White, Labour MP for Bassetlaw '24 intake, on WATO. Campaigned as Labour, elected as Labour but wants Reform UK policies, I think because her constituents voted Reform in the council elections but possibly she's also quite Reform minded.
It's disappointing that someone elected on the Labour manifesto isn't prepared to campaign for it once elected, I think she should just join Reform.
But this is the future of UK politics. All parties becoming more like Reform. Even Ed Davey complained about the plans to remove Churchill from banknotes.
Andy, politics is cyclical. What goes around comes around. Team Farage is not the long term future of British politics. Mind you authoritarians only have to win once...
I think you might want to do a bit of research around authoritarianism. Banter bans, shutting down unfriendly media, blashphemy laws, rozzers coming round to warn you off saying anything too fruity, a papers please society - these are some of the accoutrements of actual authoritarianism. If your dictionary definition of authoritarian just says 'someone who once said something nice about Putin', perhaps you should upgrade from the Fisher Price edition.
Indeed. I have no time whatsoever for Farage, and he's far from the 'Libertarian' he once dubiously claimed to be, but the most egregious examples of Authoritarianism are almost always to be found on the left.

Zverev looks a beast, would fancy him in the final in this form.
7-6, 6-2, 6-4
Damn.
Police officers were called to an address at Haytor, in Dartmoor, at around 11.40am on Thursday.
The force said Widdecombe was found dead at the property and had sustained serious injuries. "

Hopefully Sinner or Djokovic will oblige instead.
RIP.
