The nominations for the prize are January 31, anyway. So Trump would only be eligible for the 2026 award.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Who past 30 will want to stay up past midnight somewhere that is not near their own bed? Madness.

Pubs to stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth

Exclusive: Plans for England and Wales would help ailing hospitality sector but health experts criticise move Pubs, clubs and restaurants will be able to open into the early hours as part of Labour’s drive for economic growth, a move which critics say will lead to more drunken disorder. Ministers are pushing ahead with plans to allow premises that sell alcohol to extend their opening hours in order to boost “the British night out” and help the hospitality sector.

Brexit really did kill the Tories. They are so fearful of disowning it, even in the face of its innumerable challenges and difficulties, that they can never be genuine about how to fix the country.

Wonder what year a senior Tory politican would say 'You know what - we got it wrong'...

Badenoch is still trying to tie together two opposing narratives that the Tories were 'pretty great in office over 14 years' and that 'Britain has gone to shit'.

Voters aren't that stupid.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

I think, perhaps charitably, that they are *still* (over a year in opposition) stuck between strategies - if they say 'Labour's plans to fix broken UK are bad', then that's an admission they broke UK. If they say 'Labour aren't doing anything at all', then they can't oppose new legislation credibly.

Yes. Opposition by vibes isn't really a good strategy.
