Why Starmer is the best and needs to remain PM until after the World Cup final – politicalbetting.com
76% – England have won 76% of matches since Sir Keir Starmer became Prime Minister (22/29).That's the best win ratio England have had under any serving Prime Minister in history.Statesman. https://t.co/a9PDFvKx04 pic.twitter.com/QPczXTuUmO

A new Defence Universities Alliance with 35 UK universities will help strengthen defence research, build critical skills and support the UK's future defence capability.
Coincidence or causation. Who can know.
Of course @Brixian59 and I knew he was class from the offset.
Who knows with Binface though - will he be a good PM, I can't tell.
3 ko games - came from behind to win 2 of them and the other one was the pressure cauldron of Mexico at the Azteca. That speaks to a great collective spirit.
Hard to imagine this happening under a 'free market law of the jungle' tory government.
Italia 90 happened under the Tories.

"Did the European aristocracy blame the print media for its loss of power in the 18th and 19th centuries?"
Answer:
"Yes, European aristocrats largely blamed the print media for eroding their status. They saw pamphlets and newspapers as dangerous tools that spread rebellious ideas to the lower classes. This loss of power began during the Enlightenment and exploded during the French Revolution in 1789."
Very interesting. Those in power blaming the latest forms of media for their loss of influence.

BBC News - Major incident declared over large Tintwistle Moor wildfire - BBC News
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c07y4xy81reo?app-referrer=webview
The satellite image clearly shows it is the Tintwistle fire, north of the chain of Longdendale reservoirs, that is sending smoke across Greater Manchester, whilst the Dovestone fire is showing as a comparative wisp in top of frame to the east of that reservoir.
Basically, under the Conservatives we repeatedly fell at the Semi Finals.
Even though Starmer's record of losing his position barely two years after winning a landslide is extraordinary, he benefits from the comparison with Liz Truss, so I don't see him being overly denigrated, but I can't think of anything he has done that you could hang a good opinion onto.
That's right about Italia 90 but it ended for us in the semis remember. So let's not dwell too much on that.
He is class. The goals against Norway would be drooled over if it was Messi, MBappe or Ronaldo (from a few years ago). He is clearly one of our only two world class players.
It may be enough to reach the final but I fear it won't get us over the line for the whole shebang.
So I think there's a fair old chance for England.
The jury found that Trump had sexually assaulted her; the judge said that finding - forcible manual penetration without consent - meets the common definition of rape, which is true.
A federal judge NULLIFIES the purported “settlement” behind Trump’s $1.776B slush fund, finding there was never a “case or controversy” — and referring his attorney for possible professional discipline.
Judge Williams also directs the clerk to send a copy of her order to where bar complaints against Todd Blanche and Stanley Woodward were filed — in New York and D.C., respectively.

Then there’s the other cheek of the arse……
Starmer would just love that, not least as an emulation of Wilson as well as denying Burnham that glory.
There’s only one team in the U.K. he’d play for in my view and we’re not in the Premiership,yet.
Forcible manual penetration meets not just "the common definition" of rape, but also the legal definition, in several US jurisdictions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_laws_in_the_United_States
So yes, it is entirely permissible in law to call Trump a rapist.
Now that Starmer is about to be unpersonned and it is an offence not to support England on Wednesday, should I just hand myself in at the police station (if I can find one open in Cumberland) or wait for the inevitable 3 am knock on the door? Fourteen years feels a long time for these offences.
Shit or get off the pot.
Should be gunning for regime change and not perpetual meaningless conflict that messes with the Strait but does not get anything changed.

A Global Device ID (GDID) is a permanent, unique digital fingerprint that Microsoft automatically assigns to your computer when you install Windows or sign into a Microsoft account.
Microsoft uses it to manage software licensing and Windows Store apps, but because it links all your online activities on that computer back to a single identity, law enforcement can use it to track a device’s true owner across the internet

But...he was largely ineffectual and became more and more annoyed as the matches went on.
I do worry about him against better opposition. I think now is the time to deploy Rogers on the left to provide additional support in midfield.
They failed initially, how on earth do you expect them to deliver it ? Given your extensive military expertise .
They’re useless. Mossad’s plan to put Ahmedinajad in as puppet leader was never viable. I used to work not far from them.
He’s a Bluenose, always will be.
(Although it’s going to be enormously entertaining to see how Mr Sussex deals with what could be eight figures in costs. I’m sure the lawyers of the day were somewhat more vicarious when it came to royalty).

The judge then decided that their answer actually meant the opposite to the answer the jury gave in writing.
That’s a judge problem.
Starmer will be remembered for the checks and balances put in place to prevent another of his ilk ever being elected even to parliament again.
I do not fear gerrimandering. The French Second Republic was built on it and just like the UK in 1970 every attempt resulted in the perpetrator losing the next election
Do you think that finding was an irrelevance, or that forcible manual penetration is OK ?

That is the only government act that might still be consequential in 50 years, everything else will be a blip.
PB was going long before the Tories/Coalition got in.
I had my only victory in a tipping contest on here back in 2007. That was PB at its best!
As a negotiating strategy it's actually weaker than Blazing Saddles.

Quite right too.
I can't imagine China agreeing to pay this to the US.
Maybe Trump owns shares in pipeline construction companies and wants to further encourage emergency pipeline construction?
World Cup in Russia was in the year 2018.
Oh, sorry, you meant Iran?
..ABC News has agreed to pay $15m (£12m) to US President-elect Donald Trump to settle a defamation lawsuit after its star anchor falsely said he had been found "liable for rape".
George Stephanopoulos made the statements repeatedly during an interview on 10 March this year while challenging a congresswoman about her support for Trump.
A jury in a civil case last year determined Trump was liable for "sexual abuse", which has a specific definition under New York law...
Trump was found liable for sexual assault, under NY state law.
That finding makes it legally correct to call Trump a rapist under the common definition of rape in the US.
It's a silly idea but then our whole tax system is built of silly and conflicting ideas.
I'd be tempted to vote for any party that promised to abandon the whole lot and start again from scratch.

From this point forward, the United States will be known as the "GUARDIAN OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ," and in this capacity and for the sake of FAIRNESS, will receive compensation of 20% of the value of all goods transported for any expenses necessary to ensure the security and protection of this extremely unstable region of the world.
I see the word "all" and not the word "Iran".
Where are you seeing different?
For directors of limited companies where you are registerd for PAYE it is still yearly submissions but you do have to pay on account in 2 6 monthly tranches.
If we are to assume that he hasn't lost what is left of his mind, something has panicked him, and panicked him badly, meaning he needs a very urgent distraction. It would be interesting to know what - and what else it might lead to.
He lives in a different world to the real world clearly.
Maybe his core team just are not prepared to brief him with anything like the reality just like his bestie, Putin?
Either/or/and/both will do.
If I were feeling malicious, I would suggest that both of these nonsenses are less to do with managing a functioning tax system than a fairly senior civil servant at the Treasury, or a team of them, anxious to show impact in some way while angling for a promotion. Despite the fact the mere ideas show them as unfit to manage the accounts for a village hall trust.
*pauses*
*thinks*
You know, I am feeling quite malicious...
I did not know this about Widdecombe - seems she liked the water of life.
It was not proven, that is not the same as proven not to happen.
He should be called a sexual abuser not a rapist IMHO as that is what he was found guilty in. And its not a better thing.
