REPORTER: Mr. President, my condolences to you, Sir. My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. [unintelligible]
How are you holding up over the last day and a half, Sir?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks? They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. Absolutely magnificent construction. We just started, so it'll get done very nicely.
And it will be one of the best anywhere in the world, actually.

After 8+ years, starting with the very first Remainiacs in May 2017, this is my last show as host. It’s been a privilege and an adventure to work with so many great panellists, producers and guests and we’ve had the best listeners. Thanks to all of them. I’m still doing Origin Story though. Cheers!

My read is: DM keeps setting the agenda for brits! FFS, spend 2h and listen to Origin Story where @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social are doing a great job showing what a piece of shit that "newspaper" is! Only if England would just ignore it!

Of course, *of course*, this statement was released after @airlineflyer.net and I recorded this week’s AvTalk episode.

It sounds like Spanish national airport operator AENA is very much over Ryanair and MOL.

Haven’t seen something this… forthright in quite some time, and goodness me, forthright it is.

www.aena.es/en/press/sta...

Screenshot: Statement by the Chairman and CEO of Aena, Maurici Lucena, on the announcement by Ryanair
It would be hard to find in contemporary business history another case such as Ryanair where the dissonance between a company’s operational excellence and the dishonesty of its communications policy is so striking.

Ryanair's impertinence and uninhibited public demands on democratic governments in countries where it operates its flights with the aim of obtaining economic advantages, shed light upon two deep-rooted and unedifying characteristics of this airline company. The first is that Ryanair has a disturbingly plutocratic idea of the political system, i.e. it seeks to intimidate public opinion by slashing its flights, calls for the resignation of ministers from half of Europe and the president of the European Commission, mocks democratically elected politicians, and calls for laws to be changed in its favour because it believes that government decision-making should bend to the interests of the most economically powerful companies such as Ryanair, instead of protecting the "general interest". The second characteristic is Ryanair's communications and institutional relations policy, which is in permanent and deliberate conflict with objective facts and truthfulness. Here are a few examples:

At least this time it didn’t put thousands of airline passengers at risk by exploding over busy flight corridors.

It waited until later to explode.

Congratulations to all my friends at SpaceX on what I’d definitely classify as a successful test flight of #Starship today! Still a lot of work to do to improve the aft flap thermal protection but heading in the right direction again!

Why quote shit like that from a "newspaper" like that! Not even for making fun of that shit.
Breathing and heartbeats are automated processes, an editor publishing that kind of news should be grateful, otherwise it will choke and die! And putting Irish Ryanair...
News like this demands extra VAT!
