It's strange that I'm bothered by the guy's missing right hand, but not by the absence of everything below his torso.

Great pictures.

Champion. Seems to me that we wouldn't expect M&S/JLR, etc, to protect themselves against incoming ballistic missiles, so we should be prepared to provide a UK electronic shield as a top level of defence. Cyberessentials is nice, as were Nissen huts.

Will they still let MP Ian Lavery speak pitmatic?

Mivart @bobjim.bsky.social · 14h

That'll give the Mayor insomnia.

Essentially, it's warfare. If a foreign power is behind any of these frauds, maybe a generous chunk of our upcoming increase to defence spending should go towards cyber defences. Make UK a fortress.

Being the NUFC/football expert that I'm not, I think Miey won't be far off the underpaid list. Always looks good when I've seen him on the telly. He's probably not starving, mind.

He could've cheered us up with a greatest hits show. Replay the Farridge demolition. Maybe get him back in for a rematch... Pay per view? Split the purse.

What a hypocrite.

Farage told the gathered media outside court that

Khan was a "violent criminal"

Farage described the threat as "pretty chilling" during the trial, adding: "Given his proximity to guns and love of guns, I was genuinely worried."

If the orange Fury finds a way of running in 2028, I reckon Obama will be lacing up his gloves. What's good for the goose...

You've reminded me of the video to Pulp's Bad Cover Version. Numerous lookalikes mining to the track, including a Liam Gallagher.

Give it time... I think the only programme he hasn't yet been on is the weather.

What is she doing? Can't help thinking her presence lends Clark a veneer of legitimacy/seriousness.

Hasn't he got enough veneers?

Hello Kate. Give recent (and not so recent) events with aggressive nation states, why not give customers the power to choose where they buy products from?

Make it mandatory for online retailers to list "country of origin", then we can make our own minds up. Currently, it rarely happens.

Yes, but a talented opponent would be able to deal with that. Phillipson would cremate her.

Another Labour MP who doesn't know her brief. Open goal, but petrified of tapping it over the line.

"This could not be better"? Possibly true in the sense that it's unlikely to get much better.
