If you've no other issues next week, you could delay to save the -4, but if you''re considering a -4 now or likely next week, do it now

Close...

50% clean sheet for ARS so the expected value of the transfer if he plays is 3 points before bonus or any attacking returns.

Rodon must be not more than 3 against CHE (DC only real route) and so you're min of 3 vs likely max of 3.

High speed rail won't get you to Frankfurt, let alone Boston or Mumbai

It's just not an alternative

Agreed that was what it was about.

But that isn't what she said.
December 1, 2025 at 1:28 PM
She did mislead about the reason: the budget was about headroom and she gave the impression it wasn't

What you're saying is that she didn't outright lie, which is true
December 1, 2025 at 9:38 AM
Well, the question is why?

1) She made a mistake. Bad
2) She didn't know what she was going to do, and was pitch rolling everything. Unprofessional
3) She wanted more headroom but wouldn't say so because of what she promised after the 1st budget. Deceitful

Hard to see a good explanation
December 1, 2025 at 9:37 AM
She did mislead though. Like almost everything else about this budget (except the 2-child limit), her prep for it was theatre over substance.

Indeed. It takes the answer as the premise.

Worthless garbage from an intellectual point of view. Shocking that anyone thought that was suitable for a university submission.

If you listen to other interviews, you will find that he is not exclusively criticising members of his own party. He is also mentioning Democrats in addition to Republicans. This represents only a fraction of his overall statements.

Up to 770AD, and King Egbert of Kent defeats Offa of Mercia in what was apparently a short-lived ascendancy!

Man, that's not a bad team

FWIW, I think CPL have already started to tire, and I think NEW defence looks good medium term TOT, BUR, SUN, [CHE, MNU], BUR

Thiaw and Burn both look reliable picks.

In mid, Bruno reliable and great fixtures. Mini-WC possible GW 16

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten?

It is Profumo on stilts

2018: “Other passengers at the airport said that the then foreign secretary looked like “he had slept in his clothes”, struggling to walk in a straight line and telling other passengers he had had a heavy night.”

Although WHU aren't very good, today we were good, even really good, from a control perspective.
