Cartlidge didn't say that, and the word refit doesn't appear in the citation; it appears to be an unsubstantiated comment from the wikipedia editor after Cartlidge's statement (which I posted in full). I would have thought anyone seeing that it had a 'recertification package' in dry dock would...

"In late 2020 Bulwark was dry-docked for phase two of her optimised support period.[42] The ship was to remain in dry dock prior to undertaking a phase 3 "recertification package" ahead of her planned return to the fleet in 2023.[43] In mid-2023 it was reported that the ship would not be ready...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Albion_(L14)#2017%E2%80%93present https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Bulwark_(L15) According to that, Bulwark hasn't been useable for 4 years.

Presumably they've announced it because it would become evident very quickly at the sites. The ships sound fairly clear to decide on - weird that the shadow defence person is arguing that the two being held in port were useable. I wonder when it was found that the cost of repair to the frigate...

As it's Roman, I heard that as "Neigh, neigh and thrice neigh"

WaPo: No ethics statement signed, so no Trump transition team can enter federal offices or get briefings No contact with the FBI, so no FBI vetting of nominees (apparently, he's used private lawyers so that's fine) No State dept involvement in foreign leadership calls, so no-one knows what was...

It also seems a bit odd to me that no Treasury pick has been named - in the UK, it would be one of the first.

How about a WWE founder as Education Sec? Had a year on a state board of education, so sounds totally qualified. Oh, sending education back to the states - full-on America First zealotry from someone nearly as old as Trump.

Is Dr Oz a sane pick to run Medicare? Aside from advocating HCQ to treat covid, that is. I'm assuming that he's not got much experience in multibillion admin, but Trump's written that he's: “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake,” I...

To be fair, he did say that he didn't think he could be angry on behalf of others, but that he could support them. He's not complaining for himself - the interview he gave included him saying that he could put everything in a trust as long as he lived for 7 years. I didn't really understand...

I saw that cost and was amazed. Evans and Simmons are fun, but it's difficult to see what anyone else saw in it - Johnson basically plays his Jumanji character.

In more detailed political news, Des Moines Register executive editor Carol Hunter wrote that Selzer had discussed a timetable for “winding down her work on the poll” over the last few years and confirmed that Selzer had given her notice over a year ago, saying that she would “not renew when her...

But will Trump see it like that? He's just as likely to accept Russia stopping going forward in return for US lifting sanctions/bank accounts, and dictating that the rest of the stuff is someone else's problem.

UPF is an appallingly used and understood term. Weetabix is my favourite UPF, properly bad for you, all that fibre without much fat or sugar!

"FDA’s war on public health is about to end. This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that...

Assuming that @buckshot was being serious, you've misread his statement - it reads that Trump will abandon Ukraine (essentially), although I think even he knows that supporting Russia would a tough one!

Trump says yes. Powell says no. I assume that will mean that either nothing is done until Powell's term is up, or Trump will 'fire' him and appoint a family member, and then no-one will know what is going on until Clarence Thomas says something mad.

my, that last blow went a long way. 1 over to spare.
