To my American followers and to all the decent if a bit annoying Americans out there: Have a happy Thanksgiving and hope it goes as well as you want it to.
To the other type of Americans out there: I hope your turkey is dry and slightly on the turn even though it cost 20% more than last year.

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

Dmitry is very optimistic about how low Clearlake will go in order to get a FOS sponsor for Chelsea's kit. We've had at least one provider of a service you couldn't access legally in the UK on our sleeves, and you couldn't find a decent pint of Infinite Athlete anywhere.
"People will still find a way to gamble if they want to!"
Ok, but people still find ways to buy meth but we still don't sell it at Boots and let the Sinoloa Cartel advertise on football uniforms.

Looking forward to the exciting new tactical dimension that The Hundred keeps bringing to the game.
First it was the bowling consecutive sets. Then it was reintroducing the 5 ball over.
Now it's "One out all out."

PCA urges players to delay Hundred deals over Contract Dispute
London, 27 November 2025: The Professional Cricketers’ Association has urged players not to sign Hundred contracts for next season as a dispute deepens with new franchise owners over contract terms. Under a supplementary mechanism to the IPL-style auction launching next year, Hundred teams can make four direct signings — one from their current squad and three others, either overseas players or England centrally contracted players.

If you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin, it's worthless. The history books, now, will have to be rewritten. They'll quite simply say "The OBR released a budget analysis 25 minutes early". Everything else will be a footnote.
