That's why DJT is asking for a trillion and change so he can fill the pockets of the arms indus.. I mean replenish vital stocks. All from the money the US consumers have been paying in tariffs.

Where? Trump will pardon him provided he stays loyal. The USA doesn't recognise the ICC. Trump himself has immunity from his hand selected Supreme Court.

Nobody's told him he's not in government any more.

What shocked me - when my American work colleague told me that yes, our company paid for health care for his family but he paid a couple of thousand on top to get proper cover and even then there were situations where the might have to pay more if he made a claim.

We could do dentistry way better to be honest. It's cheaper and more convenient in Spain, and they are good.

Neil Warnock's just gone to Torquay. It would be harsh to leave them in the lurch to take this on so he's out.

They spent years attacking Blair for Iraq too.

At Conservative HQ they've got a supply of those pens that they use in Men In Black. They've come in very handy for all concerned. Not enough police? Depleted military? Shattered NHS? Small boats? All Labour's fault. Easy.

My son ruined Newcastle's winner for me the other night because his smartwatch got the notification before the TV caught up.

Marvellous.

I have sold none online, just 13 that were sold at an in-person reading.

PM Richard Tice. 🤮🤮

Is Carol Vorderman standing for the Greens? She did really damage to the Tories from the sidelines last time.

I for one wish you were.

The scientific evidence is limited either way.

Depends what level the club plays at. At the bottom, he does that, at the other he hires someone for millions of pounds, fires them 5 weeks later then keeps doing that until he runs out of money.

I went to see Stirling Uni v Broxburn in the Lowland League. Like the Spireites, it was 3-2, but to the students' side. Around 75 Broxburn away fans. I sat with them for the second half and they weren't impressed by the terrible defending for the 93rd minute winner after they came from 2 down.

We should win, but they'll be playing a low block, and Paul Cook hasn't got Pep's budget to get players doing tippy tap!

Yes, it avoids talking about feelings, for starters. Forest or Spurs, who has the worse chairman?

I must have imagined the last 5 elections I've voted by mail in the UK. It has been tightened, though, as we've been subjected to the same anti-mail rhetoric here. All to save about 6 illegal votes.

Mine was better.

We know China is a security threat and a repressive regime. But now the US is too. So the UK and Canada will go for the stable dictatorship rather than the insane, shouty one.

Or for pensions.

Leonardo. His hands clapping.

Mine was for probate costs when my mum died in 2018. Before that, 2016. Before that, 2012.

I still have a cheque book but I can't remember when I last wrote one. Must be long before Covid.

Why am I not surprised that he can't, or won't, use a computer?
