Trump will not win the Presidency next time and I doubt he will win the GOP nomination. When that glittering White House prize looms once more on the horizon the knives will come out for Trump. The Republicans are only staving off the inevitable blood bath. The longer they leave that task, the more certain it is that the Dems will win in 2024.
England looked pretty good last night but they've still not played a decent side. That might not happen until the final. If it's England v Italy then on neutral territory you'd back the Italians. On home turf? Well, they may do it. Johnson will saunter in and make it look like another triumph for St George.
And if you don't like sport, Olympics coming soon too, though broadcast hours awkward here.
Tell it not in Gath but I find England's style of play dull to watch.
Emma Raducanu on the other hand was fantastic yesterday. A thrilling game, but then I guess you need to like tennis.
I had the chance last night of a pair of Centre or No.1 court tickets for Monday at £140 a piece but I turned them down. Possibly mad of me but I enjoyed my time there last week at £30 a piece and that will do me.
There's also the small matter of the England v India test series coming up, which should be fantastic.
To be honest, anything that knocks covid off the front pages is okay if it doesn't involve tragedy. Yesterday was the first time in over a year that Sky News had nothing about covid on their front. Bravo for that I say. The thing is no longer a mass killer, thanks to the vaccines, and it needs to be dealt with as such.
2nd dose: 63.4%

Vaccinated = test and release.
Not vaccinated = 10 days’ quarantine.
Perhaps @david_herdson can enlighten us?
2 - That Reeves policy may well fall foul of the UK-EU FTA, unless it is more subtle. Get Lord Mandelbrot on it.
France and Spain have already formally complained to teacher, when we haven't actually done anything other than ask a question.

We want to be very unlocked, but the "most unlocked in the world' stuff will not be helpful. Talk quietly ffs.
It does also show how incredibly weak Boris Johnson is. He gets pushed and pulled around, almost certainly in large part because he's lazy and doesn't have a grasp of the facts. I don't think he's as bright as he seems to think he is.
Empire Free Trade was a campaign by Beaverbrook from 1930-31 to abandon it in favour of tariffs, remitted for the ‘white empire’ e.g. his native Canada. (This plan had originally been proposed by Joseph Chamberlain and his Tariff Reform League from 1903). It also had a lot to do with his attempts to overthrow Baldwin, and nearly succeeded.
More confusingly, from 1880 to 1895 the ‘Fair Trade League’ based in Sheffield had argued for protective tariffs to prevent the dumping of cheap, often government backed, foreign imports that were crippling Sheffield’s industries.
It’s taken an outsider to come in, see that we no longer need to “protect the NHS” because the vaccines are working, which means the pandemic is over and the restrictions can be lifted.
No surprises the backwards of Birmingham were behind it, as opposed to the modernists of Manchester.
Fantastic result yesterday, and I think the whole country can get behind Norris' astoundingly good qualifying performance.
With the fervent backing of *checks notes* Liverpool and Manchester.
Tribalism had as much to do with this as principle.

(It and two others came to a pheromone lure, which in itself was one of the more bizarre (but as it turned out, welcome) Christmas presents I have ever received!)
Much appreciated
Betting PostF1: possibly the race this year when I've had least idea what to back. Went for the victory margin exceeding 11s at 2.2 based on what happened last time.

I'd endorse Dr Foxy's comments about football and father-son bonding. Younger Son wanted to go and watch Southend (yes, really!) when he was about 9, but we lived 10 miles away. So I took him and that ended up with a couple of season tickets for two or three years until he got to secondary school and could go on his own.
Now, when he's around or we're with him, we still go to matches, although no longer Southend.
Never had quite the same 'both do' with Elder Son.

If you want to use a third-party cleanup tool, CCleaner is okay.
Whatever you do, don’t touch a piece of software called MacKeeper. It’s very heavily advertised, but malware that serves adverts.
Maybe a small hedge of betting on a safety car?
The team's undoubtedly made a great performance comeback, though.
I think Williams are hiring, they have new shareholders willing to invest.
It's the 100th anniversary of this iconic party.

As soon as I got the word "Clarkson" out of my mouth she said 'oh' and looked uncomfortably at the ground, and he grunted and said he was a 'wanker'. That told me so much about them and their politics.
His name is still a swear word amongst bien-pensant Guardianista circles, and they really struggle to get past it.
The needs of the nation should dictate immigration policy, and people should accept those who come will be a mix of the excellent, the appalling, and, mostly, the ok.
First, note that the nominee/candidate price is bigger with bookmakers, though stakes might be limited. Ladbrokes has 3/1 with the possibility of a boost. Oddschecker has Hills offering 7/2. (To win outright, 7/1 is the general offer so Betfair is best.)
2024 is a long way off, and the price is not so compelling that I want to spend time thinking about it, and checking videos of likely challengers (whose prices are long, if only we could identify which one). In terms of politics, 7/2 against Trump being GOP candidate may be a good bet, but that is without evaluating rivals, age (Trump is 75; Biden 78) or legal action (the Trump Organisation's CFO was arrested on tax fraud charges, though paradoxically that might be good news for Trump because it shows he has resisted attempts to turn him into a prosecution witness).
That said, from what I can tell, Zac Brown is [redacted]. If McLaren exists in a few years time I will be very surprised.
It won't be the Conservatives who try to exploit it for those ends - the usual suspects will find it simply irresistible - so when they do I'll look forward to hearing your condemnation of them trying to start an unnecessary culture war.
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210703-russian-law-takes-fizz-out-of-french-champagne-supplies
… Moet Hennessy's Russia office warned local partners it was suspending supplies after Russian lawmakers adopted legislation stipulating that the word "champagne" can only be applied to wine produced in Russia, while the world-famous tipple from France's Champagne region should be called "sparkling wine"...
Nice one. What were you trying to lure, a clearwing?
Where you you get the pheromone lures from? What is the best time of day to put them out and where - hang on a tree I guess?
I also think he'll beat Kamala even though she has a single name brand which is generally considered a great strength for a politician. Biden looks like he's nearly dead now so I'd be surprised if he still around in 2024.
The current trend is very worrying. “Anti-racism” appears to be just racism, treating people differently according to how they look.
As usual, those objecting to a "culture war" are really objecting to anyone putting up resistance to their prosecution of it.
One of Trump’s tricks is to basically openly confess to crimes…it Jedi mind-tricks his followers into believing that it can’t possibly be illegal if he’s talking about it in public. He did it with collusion, obstruction, extortion…seems to work for him https://twitter.com/andrewfeinberg/status/1411493248502317056
New tonight: Donald Trump lashed out at Manhattan prosecutors for indicting his company at his rally in Sarasota.
But he also appeared to acknowledge the tax schemes while questioning whether the alleged violations were in fact crimes.

Edit: Not that you mention Brexit, but the picture you painted conjures up a mental image of bitter Remainers!
Not liking the knee is not the same as actively booing those who take the knee. It is very different. Like you, Johnson and Patel failed to make the distinction, so now look even more opportunistic as they jump on the England bandwagon than would otherwise have been the case.
I said to him to give it a try anyway as it shows a different side of Clarkson and the spotlight it shines onto the economics of farming is genuinely interesting.
FWIW, I think Jezza's politics are genuinely similar to Cameron/Osborne - he's a liberal establishment Tory.
I look forward to you withdrawing your remark.
And yes, England have been playing largely at home, but that will be the case from here on in. Though their best performance was the one in which they weren't.
Still, I think the probabilities look a little out: I'd say in the semis England have a 66% chance of beating Denmark and Italy have a 60% chance of beating Spain. I'd put Eng Spa at 50/50, Eng Ita at 40/60, Den Spa at 67/33 and Den Ita at 30/70.
Which suggests to me that Denmark is very much the value bet.
I thought it was ridiculous that Titi got into trouble for dedicating a goal to the birth of a child. But nearly 20 years on, I can see why there was a zero tolerance to this sort of thing.

However, I don't particularly enjoy the gesture politics of football authorities either and the constant one minute silences for this or that person who has pegged out is beyond tiresome.
But booing this? That's moronic.
