Ha, I remember the question over the relationship between the Magna Carta and Runnymeade coming up in the UK Chase, albeit in a slightly different form...

Luxon and his Corp BS Generator again!
"It's simply privatisation rebranded with a new name - selling off existing public infrastructure to pay for new infrastructure... asset recycling schemes have amounted to expensive loans with long-term concession contracts that have had problematic features."

Both Goldsmith and Bridges have also chimed in, again with their whole "We've got to help people and support them" routine.
Both of them have had AMPLE CHANCES throughout their careers as MP's to push for meaningful solutions *LONG BEFORE THIS*.
And they *didn't*.
Just stop lying at least guys.

Will await the verdict as to whether the plot was enough to have kept that from happening!

Winston can go ahead and paint himself into his own corner at this stage, associating themselves with arrangements that seem dubious at best, bald(!) political interference at worst - and as for real value for money? Tracking badly there *too*.
How far does he hope this will actually get them?!

Yep, I mean, If we could tick the boxes off on just that and then feel like "Man, I can actually totally do this next week too", and then hit the sack *without any worry whatsoever that would actually, really happen*, that'd feel *more than sorted* right now!!

The pristine gumboots in a suit while sitting in an an Obviously Not A Farm setting is bizarre enough, but rolling out the "Awkward Looking Two Thumbs and Forced Grin Combo" so soon after from his most recent jaunt chinwagging with The Head MAGAt... now that's a wretched sight indeed.

Bradley Walsh just has a way about how he delivers and talks to "his" team and the Chasers, it's just leagues ahead of the US & Oz spinoffs. In those, any humour feels kind of forced a lot of the time (also, Brad is happy to take the piss out of himself, the rest seem So Very Serious in comparison).

I'm guessing it's behind-the-scenes insertions of AI tools (to "help" us all, naturally) in the backends of most of these systems, I'd certainly expect it with Android/Google, but I assume iPhone/Apple are no better.
