EDIT: Second in, unlike Matt Gaetz
They kept Corbyn after he'd lost an election but replaced Blair who hadn't.
If they want to get rid of somebody, they can, but the Party generally prioritises ideological purity over winning.

I don’t want to know what the ‘average bill’ is. I want to know the standing charge and the unit rate so I can work out what my bill will be.
But it’s very difficult to find it, rendering the whole exercise useless.

President-elect Trump has named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his next nominee to lead the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Bondi was a swift pick just hours after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) withdrew himself from consideration for the role.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose ..
On her past form, that will be acting as Trump's personal lawyer.
Any weaponisation is likely to be in the opposite direction.
53/47 Senate.
But he is not a natural politician and does not seem to be enjoying it. In addition, he will be 66 at the election which is older than any Prime Minister when they retired, going back as far as Jim Callaghan.
Betfair has a year replaced market which offers better odds for Badenoch fans.
The Tories are so short of talent that they might have to stick to Badenoch. The alternatives are all worse.
This can only be achieved by working in partnership with leading businesses, like BlackRock, to capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.

We'll keep the Blackrock flag flying here.
She probably claimed ignorance of the law.
I certainly have.
Should have been cash.
Cash would have been much safer...

It’s striking from the point of view of life’s weird trajectories, but also the semi religious aspect to many of his followers.

You see @Anabobazina cash is useful.

"The scientists say the new evidence makes the laboratory leak hypothesis incredibly difficult to support.
All of the data analyzed in the recent study — the early cases and proximity to the market, the location of animals, and the two independent spillovers into the human population, occurring weeks apart in late 2019 — points to COVID-19 originating at the market."

It wouldn't surprise me if they no longer exist by the end of 2025.
Starmer will also survive. He is now very unpopular but Labour are less ruthless than the Tories and even the LDs in replacing their leaders midterm
The damn coal was frozen!
Christ my fingers hurt now.
Though many Labour members would want Rayner

Apple have totally fucked this up. Go short Apple, they’re heading for trouble
Blair resigned he was not defeated for the leadership and only after ten years as PM and three general election victories for Gordon Brown by coronation
This certainly isn't your father's or grandad's Labour party
Mocking woke stuff after that terrible ad with that cross dressing bloke in a Bath

The challenge to Corbyn is I think the closest any sitting Labour leader who had not made the prior decision to leave has come to being actually unseated by the party since Lansbury in 1935, and it failed.
*Callaghan did resign, rather more than a year later.
Then again, this government appears to be cosplaying New Labour.
Though by first class plane cabin over the Atlantic rather than boat across the Med and Channel
A lot riding on Labuschagne here.
Though New Labour never hit pensioners and farmers like Starmer Labour has.
Has anyone else being remembering the Private Eye stories about him? In light of the similarity of some of the stories relating to other famous people, recently.
market I think. Still perhaps opportunity for Google and Samsung if it is as you say.

Also, a great deal of effort is going into things under the hood you don't see: a classic example is trying to reduce power requirements to improve battery life. The user doesn't automatically see that as a new feature, but it can make much more of a difference to users than any headline feature.
Therefore much of the advantage comes down to marketing of your best products. And Apple wins that hands-down, if only because of their rabid fanbois.
They’re not the only massive tech company to drop a bollock. How bad is Alexa, still?
NB I have two phone contracts and two devices. For my upgrade on my other phone, for the first time I’m gonna try android, Samsung, Google, SOMETHING ELSE - not Apple
No bloody blue screen of death.
Yet they are saying “maybe in 2026”
I think (on topic) that it's a Gamalian one: time will tell, and I have no way of knowing.
Except that Sir Starmer needs to get his )((*&^% communications working.
You found a lasagne in a bush?
And this is not some anti-Apple agenda. I love my iPad (still amazes me - and it’s still the best tablet). And until now I’ve loved the iPhone
But this is the first time in a long time I’ve looked at Apple and felt “they’re falling behind”
Btw you were right about them junking the old 3.5mm headphone jack. I dissed them for that and you said “wait, it’s clever, everyone will go Bluetooth”
And that’s what happened. So fair dos. You were right on that and I was wrong
But this feels like a major misstep far beyond that
Even if AI is close to hitting a wall in development, the potential use is something that will have dramatic economic consequences and could have substantial social results too.
{Giggles and runs away}
The first survey on the health of the economy after the Budget makes for gloomy reading. Businesses have
reported falling output for the first time in just over a year while employment has now been cut for two
consecutive months. Although only marginal, the downturns in output and hiring represent marked
contrasts to the robust growth rates seen back in the summer and are accompanied by deepening concern
about prospects for the year ahead.
Business optimism has slumped sharply since the General Election, dropping further in November to hit the
lowest since late 2022. Companies are giving a clear 'thumbs down' to the policies announced in the Budget,
especially the planned increase in employers' National Insurance contributions.
The November PMI is indicative of the economy slipping into a modest decline, with GDP dropping at a 0.1%
quarterly rate, but the loss of confidence hints at worse to come – including further job losses – unless sentiment revives.

Wikipedia doesn't seem to know about many (though a Wiki page could be slanted or incomplete), and she was on the Trump "voter fraud" bandwagon in 2020, and refused to provide evidence of it when asked to do so.

Thank god the “adults are in the room”
I suspect this is another example of that.
If you are going to switch to Android then wait until February/March when the new flagship Samsung phones launch.
