Being invited back for this was an absolutely lovely experience, and I hope you all enjoy it!

It’s every champion’s dream to beat another champion - and now is their chance...

The minimum wage should not have age bands. I was once taught to do a part-time job by a 17 year old and paid more than her for the privilege. I don't see how that's not, at the very least, socially frowned upon.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

When there's a government shutdown the President goes to the mountains to meditate. This is pretty basic stuff.
Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

> Be the first woman to serve as finance minister in your country
> Be appointed Deputy PM because you basically do everything
> The Leader resigns because he's 20 points behind in polls
> Stand to replace him
> Lose 85/10

Terrible what happened to Chrystia Freeland. Picture unrelated.

Trying not to sound like a hypocrite while simultaneously saying "we shouldn't idly speculate on the health of political figures we disagree with" and "could Trump get a smidgen of the scrutiny Biden got?"

Politicians who don't believe in something will massively over-correct when they need to triangulate, because they have no frame of reference for what they can compromise on. You see it with Conservatives trying to out-Reform Reform on immigration, and now we see it with Labour and flags.

Ironic that it's taken a party founded by labour unions this long to work out that, when they act collectively, they can't be pushed around by their boss.
Politico: Up to 170 Labour MPs are thought to have signed letters to the whips opposing benefit cuts — "and they’re not too happy with...threats to kick them out of the parliamentary party if they defy orders"

“You can’t do that to 170 MPs,” one Lab MP said. “We’ll just go off and form Labour 2” 👀

We had the pleasure of meeting the #OnlyConnect finalists the day before the Grand Final, and knew immediately that whoever lifted the perspex slab tonight would be very worthy winners. Congratulations to the new Champions!
