Well following the Talksport money trail are we surprised?

Jordan isn't get paid by Talksport > News UK Broadcasting Limited > News UK > News Corp > Lachlan Murdoch to express "Woke" views on their air, now is he?

This is just Murdoch media being Murdoch media.

Interesting that Rees-Mogg was the Leader of the House Of Commons when his Government repealed the Fixed Term Parliament Act and put it almost entirely at the discretion of the leader of the largest party in the Commons.

Rees-Mogg once again showing Arrogance shouldn't be mistaken for intelligence.

And in response

"I say Philp you are a former Government minister including at the Home Office.

Welcome to the World YOUR policies have helped develop."

Imagine being the former Minister for Policing until just over a year ago and trying to say you're not responsible.

Love Redford in Sneakers, Ackroyd and Pottier are great too and not forgetting River Phoenix or Mary McDonnell who is given the space to shine as beautiful Middle aged woman (something so rare in Hollywood fayre).

Meanwhile I think Cameron Crowe has written far better than for Jerry Maguire.

Murdoch was burned by Putin about 20 years ago, he has a long memory and isn't about to forget.

I remember lots of pictures of Rupert Murdoch meeting Putin about the same time as Tony Blair was trying to bring about realignment between NATO and Russia.

I don't think this is limited to the Internet but instead dates back to media consolidation which has destroyed Local coverage in many democratic nations.

It is very easy to feel forgotten if the media you read does not reflect your daily experience.

Representatives need to be seen to represent.

This same principal applies in Modern day Israel too.

You can declare you favour a 2 state solution but for that even to be possible you have to define the borders and it is very hard to see either side conceding their own border claims.

Palestine is a paper state lacking a real world form.

Is this why Windows 11 keeps pushing United Healthcare's Share Price at Me? Honestly I like their start bar gives me the weather but the rest of is pure overreach.

I can buy in to the rejoin movement but I still don't understand how you plan to get round the Veto's that will block the EU.

Orban would seem to have particular interest in keeping the UK on the periphery and timing wise Spain claims over Gibraltar raise questions too.

Trump's Cabinet keep talking about a Golden Age Which to me refers to the Era of the Virgin Queen Elizabeth I, When combined with this video I realise Trump is the Incel Queen.

No matter what the Harmsworth's will be French for tax purposes that is until the Non Dom Status is Properly abolished then they will have to make a choice.

Next to tackle offshore licensing of overvalued corporate services to minimise corporation tax.

In a world of Global Trade, improving relations with a country we are a major importer from, isn't a bad idea.

I do think this could serve as the media distraction needed whilst Government Trade Negotiators try to reopen sections of the EU.

I have to admit if I was Starmer I would be calling out the wealthy owners of those Papers stressing their Avoidance of UK Taxes and holding a Vote of Confidence in the Government in the Commons.

And then get back to the job. I wonder why Frederick Barclay is interested in distracting Starmer.

Simplicity of Enforcement is always best and I think this is one of the areas where there should be as little doubt as possible whether a suspicion should be reported.

A big dispute I had in the other place was based on the inability of someone to understand the CPS and Police aren't under the same reporting line to the executive. The Home Office and Director of Public Prosecutions being under different cabinet ministers maintaining separate accountability.

4 of them are wealthy disruptors and Lee Anderson is a Wannabe. The disruption of the system was the plan.

Lowe had 6 names to read out, it's not that he wasn't capable, it is that he doesn't care if it gets entered in Hansard.

Austerity is the only answer in the mind of the PPE Graduate from Oxford University. Nick Robinson and Rachel Reeves have that in common. As do Hunt, Sunak, Truss, Stride, Balls, Cooper, Miliband etc.

Austerity is an Oxford Death Cult.

True, They're not even aiming for Senate confirmation because DOGE is an influence racket.

Musk wouldn't be interested if it was a proper role where he'd need to at least artificially divest his interests.
