A reference to the Superbowl I assume?

By all accounts not the most gripping ever.

Thank you for showing up, was a bit quiet round here.

I really liked it - I haven't managed to stay awake for the last few years but had no trouble this time. It was so tight that any play could have been decisive.

UK letter vowed to protect Nissan from Brexit fallout

Confirmation that the 'Nissan letter' was the usual load of slaver, hardly surprising they tore it up.

Not paywalled.

I know its been said before - many times - but Nadine Dorries really is thicker than mince.

One fine day she'll likely say something worth hearing but poor previous communication mean no one will know about it

[AnatolyKasparov]

As the Floyd once said........is there anybody out there??

[citizenJA]

Yep
the air quality is a little better than earlier

[citizenJA]

I've not looked at the news in a few days

Billions of UK aid failing to reduce poverty, report finds

well, duh
it's not getting spent on alleviating poverty

Worthless leadership in the US and UK doing all they can to keeping their governments' paralyzed
Medieval monarchies did better than current bastards
Barons eventually knocked dithering royalty off their perches two, three times I recall
Intentionally crashing nations wasn't allowed

But the Conservative party should expect to receive the harshest judgment from history and the greatest punishment at the hands of the electorate. And rightly so. To govern is to be responsible for calamities that happen on your watch. The more so when the disaster is not a bolt from the blue that the party in charge could not have reasonably anticipated, but a horror that it authored and inflicted.

- Andrew Rawnsley
The Tories should heed Oliver Letwin. They won’t be forgiven a no-deal Brexit

'The more so when the disaster...it authored and inflicted'
Why was this even necessary for you to write, Rawnsley?
It's not dry humour, no irony
'To govern is to be responsible...'
Tory government is completely irresponsible; they're the architects of this entire boondoggle
We've had daily evidence of their unfitness to govern for years
It's not important right now, assigning blame
We've spent too long on that futile dance already
Rawnsley's limp moralising is an emotional protection mechanism
It's too awful recognising the lack of constitutional safeguards protecting us from this bad government

[citizenJA]

I made the right decision not getting caught up in headline news.

Important intervention from Keir Starmer on Freedom of Movement.

Kind of what we have been saying.....
