To be clear, I don’t begrudge Farrell his debut.
BUT can you imagine the absolute headloss that would be currently unfolding if we were giving a cap to a 32 year old player who played for Leinster.

The statement Beauden Barrett provided for Tadhg Beirne's disciplinary hearing.
"I take responsibility for entering contact in a high position, as that contributed to the nature of the collision."
Barrett praised Beirne for "good awareness" to prevent a more serious collision.

A 15-point win for VA gov. A 5-point win for VA AG in a race he was expected to lose. A 13-point win for NJ gov, in a race that was expected to be close. An outright majority in NYC in a three-way race. A 30-point win for Prop 50 in CA. #BlueWave #Election2025

Surprising nobody, Russia is unable to launch its nuclear capable Oreshnik missile as it explodes mid launch like a Space X rocket.

Wow!
So it's now 5 who recognise the experience and commitment of Jess Phillips, verses 5 who wants her out - a group which includes at least 1 which is working with Reform.
This is now nothing more than Reform trying to destroy the inquiry and undermine the Labour government.

Breaking - Five grooming gang survivors tell PM they will stay on panel only if Jess Phillips REMAINS in post.
They say Phillips has “devoted her life to hearing and amplifying the voices of women and girls who would have otherwise been unheard”.

No. Eurostar has ordered double deck trains and the first will arrive in 2031. If they ever run to London we’ll see, but these trains will likely go on ex-Thalys routes first.

This is probably your best reminder that Amazon Web Services is too big. So is Microsoft, and Google, and all of these companies that are gobbling up money, energy, and resources, only for things to go suddenly arse-up, like today, without being held accountable. There's no space for competition.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.
The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social @torstenbell.bsky.social Can you not see that this is completely mad? It's undermining the rule of law.
She was arrested for holding a sign reading:
“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”
How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.
