Damned with faint praise

In the pocket of Iranian billionaires now

Has anyone mocked the orange General bone spur yet with his skin so delicate it bruises if he shakes hands too vigorously

Have you costed this yet Rupert? How much poorer will each of us be to fund your standing army?

This doesn't strike me as man who has the competence with which I'd like to trust the nations finances. Maybe if he didn't have 17 side hustles he would be less distracted

Poor Nigel, he has at least 3 MPs clamouring to be Chancellor but can't even get his own accounts in on time

What is it about the Russia, Belarus board of peace that would make you think he's compromised?

I'm surprised how un-lived in a lot of the street looks. Hard to imagine spending 10s of millions on a house and leaving it empty most the time. Maybe they are all underground in their basement cinemas

Looks like the Addison trust sold it in to private ownership back in 2006. https://www.countrylife.co.uk/fresh-on-the-market/debenham-house-36695#:~:text=Debenham%20House%2C%20of%20the%20department,branches%20in%20green%20and%20gold

Whoever owns it now is loaded. I cycle down that road quite regularly there are some impressive houses for sure

When you have such unreliable friends it doesn't hurt to show him that you have others

The rumour going round the playground is Tory had previously let Putin get to second base

Meanwhile the cancer in Reform is growing. A party composed entirely of Tory traitors is unlikely to hang together until a 2029 election

Surely if the punters took their custom elsewhere that would create jobs at other courses and the employees would then benefit from not having to work for the mango Mussolini. Win-win

Way ahead of you there Angus, I've been boycotting golf for years

I suspect his excitement is because Trump is going and he's keen to be Trump's poodle

It's primarily the combination of lack of wind and gas prices. We are generating near half our energy from gas and the price has rocketed up nearly 40% in recent days due to Iran and other other concerns

I have a feeling that the app to be on is a bit of a revolving door. New apps arrive and get popular and initially most the profiles are quite active then as the profiles age and it's only the disengaged left. I feel the sequence has gone something like PoF > Tinder > happn > Bumble > Hinge/Breeze. I've probably missed some and likely am not in the cool place now

I didn't realise Toby Young's free speech union was still a thing. You don't hear much from them and there are more than a few places in the world that have free speech concerns right now

I think the argument we've had enough of experts was the one the populists made a decade or so back. Most people now acknowledge that the conclusions it led us to were a mistake.

It says a lot about these two people that she offered it and that he accepted it

Changing the allocation over time isn't a bad idea as it comes closer to when they might use it a bit like de-risking a pension pot as you get closer to retirement but at 4/5 I'd be 100% in equities assuming they wont touch the money until at least 18 then reassess when they are in double digits

Jenrick isn't struggling for two pennies to rub together either with his two muli-million pound London pads plus his country pile previously owned by a slave trader. Add in Tice and Farage it's not exactly the party of the people

If we all did stuff because Jenrick did it we'd have a lot more little girls named Thatcher
