Is anyone still of an opinion that Trump is not a Russian asset?

Im just wondering @cricketaustralia.bsky.social when you decided to rescind the lifetime leadership ban that you claimed you had imposed on Steve smith in light of his corruption?

Can’t really understand why Steve Smith is captain of Australia, not sure what message it sends out to their future talent.

This is the session to do it. It’s hooping around. The bounce is astronomical. Do it.

Gus Atkinson holds a very good line. Asks a lot of your defence.

Love it when people judge a game after one innings. Have you been watching cricket?

Why couldn’t / shouldn’t we have a new ball for every session of a test match, removing the temptation for ‘ball conditioning’?

Let me get this right, a peace deal to end the illegal, unprovoked invasion of the sovereign country Ukraine, has been drawn up by Trump and Putin? Have I got that right?

Thank God I saw that espionage alert. I nearly gave away all our secrets.

Everything about this interview is brilliant.

The interviewers do a great (and enjoyable!) job and @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social is going to be hugely impactful as part of the first ever group of elected Greens in the Senedd!

(And the carrots do sound delicious!)
We had the leader of the Welsh Greens on the pod.

Apart from presenting him with a bag of carrot batons (obviously) we talked about the party’s chances in Wales next year and the Zack Polanski surge. youtu.be/7xPjR3iFr6A?...

When are the CIA gonna do their fucking job and remove the threat to American democracy and military supremacy that sits in the White House?

I think that Trump is making a massive own goal here by dragging up what he said or didn’t say on January 6th. There is so much available that’s not widely in the public consciousness.

Aww bless him, can someone with more scientific gravitas please explain to Rob about condensation. Thanks.

If I came from a family that has held a seat in House of Lords for 7 generations and used it to protect their vast empire from Tax and Inheritance Tax.

I probably wouldn't be complaining about free bus passes for Senior Citizens.

You'd look ridiculous.
