The special relationship...
It's a line you'd expect in a Russian plan except they might be a bit more subtle

It must be one reason why billionaire techbros seem so unhappy. The thought you can have anything in the world, and yet the thing you've got is never quite perfect, given nothing is. Being unable to see the beauty in that must be... unfulfilling

...and of course ever the victim

It was classic Farage - the cynicism, the treading the line, the being performatively outspoken without actually saying much. Deliberately ambiguous on the racism of Bernard Manning and the Minstrels. A nasty dogwhistle

The VIP lane at mar-a-lago doesn't even get as far as the pub

This may be a naive question but surely club owners like players can't bet on football matches...

The Independent had another good one: the most chaotic budget in living memory! (Liz Truss wants a word); the mansion tax "raid" "will be seen as unfair": and gambling taxes are part of an "attack" on the middle classes and disincentivising saving www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Think you're right, and even a bit more than their togetherness - their belief or expectation that they'll win. Must be a powerful motivator and it's a positive vicious cycle. Seems like successful/high-paid religious people's faith grows as their success reinforces their beliefs, and vice versa.

Kemi and Rachel should do interviews afterwards with their initials on their tops like football managers. We've not left anything out there, it's a tough crowd, next week we go again etc.

Bruno's gun with a "BANG" sign dropping down as Pickford, with false moustache, leaps to catch the fake bullet

The irony of these people who've spent their political lives campaigning for severe cuts (given they're the Truss/taxpayers' alliance wing of the Tory party that's broken off) now depending on fairer funding coming through...is quite something

Also the mobile thing's a funny one isn't it! Never been to one where they have that

How was it?
