Well, that clears that one up then.

He didn't extend Angela Rayner any grace for not understanding how family trusts operate.
Farage confirming how blase he is about accepting cash:
"I'm not an expert about how family trusts work... I have no idea how this works.... I ask a question of the people around the table, "Is this legit?"... I'm told they're going to give us money... I basically didn't give it a second thought."

Just heard @rory-stewart.bsky.social on @therestpolitics.bsky.social say that "we [the UK] still consume more carbon than we have ever done—we just have the t-shirts made in China". I've heard this point being made elsewhere recently too. And it is simply not true.

This is why Wasabi is my go to.
A salad, an open sandwich (piece of bread with some chicken on), 1 cup of tea, 1 apple juice, 1 pastel. £54. IN A STATION CAFE. London, I am finally done with eating out ever again. My Iranian beans and the 3.95 saino's sarnie lunch deal are all I need. Go out of business, all of you. It's over.

I've been to church services where the organ intro to the first hymn goes on that long as well.
Last night, was the first time I listened to Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" on vinyl. (Wearing headphones)
That was like a religious experience.

The fact that English and French defences collectively shipped 10 goals explains exactly why they were both in the third place playoff.
Great game though and doubtless much more interesting than tomorrow's final will be.

How did you become a libertarian?
We sat down with 10 scholars and staff at the Cato Institute—with different origin stories, areas of expertise, and concerns—to find out how they came to libertarianism, what gives them hope, and what they would fix first if they could.
