Turns out that the New York Times thinks China's ownership of China is up for debate.

2025 Bingo is 🤯🤦🏻
Not arguing he deserved the pen.
Just aghast he was the only driver who was penalised.
The opening lap saw both Verstappen and Leclerc lose control and gain an advantage.
The rest is just provocative banter.
Caught up with the #MexicanGP ... Can anyone explain to me the new FIA rule that says the only driver who can gain an advantage by going off the track is the black dude?!
#LaterWithJoolsHolland is the perfect antidote to #QuestionTime and #BBCNews

Thank you #JoolsHolland 💐
Shame it's still 1 : 2
Yes. The friends this govt keeps are ... beyond the pale
Sorry to hear of the passing of "Mamma Erasmus", Sofia Corradi, the 🇮🇹 educator who conceived and built the Erasmus Programme.
That's the exchange programme of students between European universities.
Che bella signora 💐

Maybe you can explain to me, Zach, why the same transactions are called "bribes" if they come from "a Russian" and "funding" or "lobbying" when they come from "a Zionist".
Any ideas?
And you also did not have managers capable to forging you into a team with either management or selection choices.
More power to Tuchel's quest to "make a team", not "pick the best players".
May the media let him.
Not all that sure Starmer too wouldn't have found a way to pass presidentially beyond it all.
By "It" you must mean "Matthew Syed" ... Yes. It is.
"Accused of" or "Shown to be" ...

Some journalistic conventions feel ever so outdated.
The "Guardian" of what?
Watched the #Tuchel presser 🤦‍♂️
If Italian hacks patronised #Gattuso that way in pursuit of gossip ... I think notebooks might fly.
Eight minutes in and still zero chat about football.
I don't know what "fans" think they deserve but a dash more curiosity about actual football would be refreshing.
"The customer is always right"
"Fans are the lifeblood of .."
"I blame social meeja ..."

Can you believe @theguardian.com is compelled to pose this as a question?
“You’re media incarnate (Mr Klein) ... War, murder, death are all the same to you as bottles of beer. And the daily business of life is a corrupt comedy ...”
Have to wonder what Paddy Chayefsky would have made of the Coates-Klein exchange.
It did remind me of Network, tho'
If I were Ezra Klein and I read that TaNehisi Coates piece I would crumble to dust and blow away in the breeze.
And happy to know they are not alone 💐
Europeans are finding their hearts.
The impunity must end
Proud of 🇮🇹 today.
Their govt may be just another of Trump's Euro-hostages but at least its people are determined to demonstrate their humanity regardless.

The same Taliban who shut it off, turned it back on?
Your story is as unclear as brief.
It might have read "Taliban returns internet access to Afghanistan" (same copy length)
or "<Cause that is not Taliban> returns internet access..."
This too (if accurate) would have been better.
You're not v good.
Have not felt a bonfire of the vanities quite as warm since all those celebs got together to sing Imagine.

Can you explain why the overt funding of the parliamentary Labour Party by FOI is considered benign but this has you howling at the moon?!
Surely it's ALL intolerable.
The thing that makes Labour electable is its willingness to do what it takes ...

The US is clearly unfit to host the UN.
Not now and not ever again.

There has never been a better time to go out in the middle of the night and spreadeagle a pair of your old pyjamas on the steps of a church along with a note saying “If you’re reading this, you missed the Rapture.”

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.
