If past precedent is anything to go by, Kemi Badenoch's £10bn British iron dome contact will either go to Michelle Mone or the landlord of Matt Hancock's local pub

This is awful. She was a high-souled, distinctive writer and one of this site’s most illuminating contributors. RIP.

Ah, okay. Let me know when the London venues will be rotated out.

RT @miffythegamer: This is a total lie. How did such a dim, reactionary and unserious person get anywhere near the House of Lords? That…

Electricity sector profit margins: UK 23% - 38% Spain 11% - 13% Germany 9 - 11% France 6 - 9% But, apparently, the reason UK electricity is most expensive is Net Zero.

More sad news. Tim was a very astute and vivid stage and screen actor - from my home village of Grappenhall.

The only 3 people to benefit from Brexit were Johnson - got prime minister Farage - got a cult following Putin - got a weaker UK and Europe. The rest of us got a poorer, more divided country with less rights and freedoms. Plus now we know reform were on the Russian take.

So upset. Dolly Parton was a TRUE music icon and a bright and positive light in a dark world. Supportive of everyone. Dolly is supposed to live forever. A HUGE LOSS!

RIP John Irvin who directed what I consider the greatest 5 hours of television every aired on the BBC: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. allgoodmovies.com/2020/07/04…

Brexit was heavily influenced by Cambridge Analytica and massive numbers of Russian trolls on social media. Farage and Johnson buried all investigations of Russia meddling. Russia won!

It is simply astonishing that the BBC’s Chris Mason wrote the below two paragraphs and didn’t then clarify that Essex Police had later stated they never told Farage this

🚨🎙️ Jürgen Klopp on Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in the FIFA World Cup; 🗣️"Look, I try to stay out of the politics, I really do. But at some point, you just have to ask: who is actually thinking about the game here? "Gianni Infantino comes out with this idea to sell twenty percent of the World Cup to private equity investors, and I just shake my head. It’s always about more money, more games, more commercialization. They want to hand out twenty million dollars to every federation to buy votes, but what about the actual sport? The World Cup isn't a tech startup you can sell stakes in to the highest bidder on Wall Street. It belongs to the players and the fans. But as usual, the people making these decisions are sitting in air-conditioned offices, miles away from a football pitch, treating a hundred years of history like an investment portfolio. "And then UEFA comes out and says, 'Oh, football has a soul, we will boycott!' Come on. Give me a break. "I’ve been criticizing UEFA for years about the Nations League, the bloated Champions League formats, and squeezing the players until they break. Now suddenly they want to act like the guardians of traditional football? It’s laughable. UEFA isn't angry because football is being commercialized—they’ve been doing that themselves for a decade. They’re just angry that FIFA found a bigger bag of money and didn't leave a cut for them. "It’s two giants fighting over who gets to keep the wallet, while the players and supporters are left in the middle, completely ignored. We keep adding tournaments, adding money, adding investors—and nobody stops to ask if the product on the pitch will even survive it."

This is entirely unhinged.

I'm not bothered who she votes for. I am, however, bothered that she's a Jew-baiting, antisemitism-weaponising, holocaust-supporting demon.
