    Question Time

    Well, DR Congo is the one with the border. Rwanda has supported rebels in DRC. DRC has supported rebels against Rwanda. It's been rumbling since the genocide in Rwanda. This has some recent history...

    Isn't he the person stuck into a Treasury position who has multiple bankruptcies/dirty folds on his resume?

    What has the UK become?

    I suspect we have moved to a more stationary working model in many working areas, meaning less exercise. When I started my job in the late 90s, we were standing and moving regularly for much of the day. Now we have it all computerised.

    Ah, I hadn't realised that they had to make a ruling as such. I did think that someone should have raised that it would allow removal of all SCOTUS members. That might have been a bit provocative!

    So just codifying the current state? They're not going to codify immunity from prosecution while in office, which seems to be the working basis.

    So "as you were"? The govt lawyer pretty much said that - there isn't a way to rule that improves anything.

    Mr Bates vs the Post Office

    I think it's quite bad news that ITV lost £1m on making the show as it doesn't have much draw in many countries. That scale loss means less programmes of its type.

    Donald Trump

    The BBC page doesn't seem so convinced. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68901817 Vendetta prosecutions could certainly be an issue, but then you have to trust that courts/juries do their job.

    The Labour Party

    Yeah, I doubt there's much drive to bring engineering internally - presumably the current franchises use contractors mainly. There shouldn't be a lack of maintenance work though except for geographical extremities - just schedule it properly. Has the franchise-giving window closed now? Or can...

    Donald Trump

    it is quite odd that a company with no income and no prospect of significant income should be desirable. I wonder what they spent 50+M dollars on last year. Orange spray?

    The Conservative Party/Government

    They'll be cleaning bits of Dowden out of the benches for a while. Rayner didn't hold back, but shouldn't have referred to Sunak as a pint-sized loser, accurate though it may be. There was a bit of a dingdong over the Conservatives obstructing the no-fault eviction laws. Mostly Dowden was his...

    Donald Trump

    Heck of a rant he's going on. Damned if I can make sense of what he's saying, other than both the judges are corrupt and Biden's behind it all.

    Liz Truss Resigns as PM

    That's my feeling too - Johnson prevented May achieving the things that were needed, and the tabloid media made it her fault.

    Emirates FA Cup Changes Ahead of 2024/25:

    I don't think it is allowed - it's written in the regs who gets the space, as far as I know. I don't understand why they have cancelled replays all the way back to the 1st round - no taking a big league side back to a non-league ground midweek.

    Question Time

    I thought the Conservative Davies started off okay, but that rant in the middle was frothing-at-the-mouth vitriol; that Fiona Bruce felt the need to pull him up on the abuse is not going to be forgotten.

    The alumni of that course is quite a list - this is an edited selection from wikipedia, EDIT - may not all have been at Oxford, but it's a fair bet that a number of them were.

    Rishi Sunak

    That was just the first 2 questions! Starmer seemed to quite enjoy watching Sunak avoid answering questions. You can tell there are local elections coming up, Conservative MP after another asking Sunak to sneer at local politicians.

    Last Film You Saw

    Beau Is Afraid Want to watch Joaquin Phoenix mumble and become unravelled very very slowly in a film with no apparent story/ending? There are probably still better options than this film. 4/10 maybe, feeling generous.
