It's about Liberty Media pushing the family-friendly, 'wholesome', sponsor/advertiser-appealing global 'brand'.

The sport of F1 is a secondary consider. It's a vehicle for commodificatoon. They don't even refer to it as racing. It's 'product'.

In response to a US President declaring hostilities against his own people.

Or at least doing so on behalf of Miller and the Heritage Foundation.

Strange times.

Yes.

But 1. they're dumb and 2. they've become accustomed to being entirely free of anything resembling scrutiny.

A while ago when Sergio was under serious pressure at Red Bull, he went off in FP1 in Hungary. Ted Kravitz was commenting on the significance of it, observing activity in the RB garage.

Natalie Pinkham interrupted him... "Sorry Ted but we're getting shots of a child crying in the stands".

I try to imagine Starmer appointing Richard Madeley as Secretary of State for Defence or a pal from his box at Arsenal as Special Envoy.

Thankfully, as yet, I can't.

Thank you, Carlos! 👏

At last, someone on the inside articulates what so many F1 TV viewers are sick to the back teeth of.

We want to see racing, not waving kids in merch being cynically platformed to push sales and garages full of b-list freeloaders.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

Effective screening programmes for this and other forms of cancer would, of course, be a feature of a properly funded and effectively managed NHS at both hospital and GP level.

And who has been responsible for looking after the NHS for the last 14 of 15 years?

*Checks notes*... 🤔

The Johnson/Cummings purge left only zealous Brexit nutters or those who pretended to go along with it for their own personal interests.

And look where it's got them. Truss. Badenoch. Zero philosophy or direction. A shouty mob of racist agitators and political minnows.

They're on life support.

Tenbury is a blueprint. And all this without the abandonment of net zero that Farage and Badenoch are paid to support.

"Tenbury Wells, a market town in Worcestershire, has become the first in the country to find that its public buildings are uninsurable."
