So Scotland games…

1) Haiti: Boston or NJ/NY
2) Morocco: Boston or Philly
3) Brazil: Miami or Atlanta

Generally good news for the multiple people I know who risked booking flights to New York already! Just the one ‘commute’.

“All four teams will want to qualify”, “Everyone back home wants us to qualify”, “I hope we qualify”

I’m glad we keep on skipping away for these insightful interviews

This is the most infuriating thing.

Parliament can basically pass whatever law they want. It’s the supreme legal authority!

But they’ll continue to hide behind a reinterpretation by the Supreme Court despite the fact they could overrule with new legislation if they wanted.

But they don’t want.
It's worth remembering that the government could stop the exclusion of trans people from public life any time they want.

Following on from Girl Guiding making a similar statement - this is because these community groups cannot match the legal fees that transphobes are able to fund. They would rather these community groups fall to financial ruin that accept trans women.

A lot of these legal funds come from JK Rowling.

Well as Acadia is included in the list, I’m glad I beat this by a couple months!

Taking aside the merits, or lack of, of an Ed Miliband premiership, not sure I could deal with three years of “the voters rejected him a decade ago and now he’s been thrust upon the country by undemocratic means”
Verdict of one Labour grandee I just bumped into: “Ed Miliband is the person most likely to be the most next Prime Minister”.

Recurring theme on BBC News stories where nothing seems to actually be reviewed. This is so sloppy!

YouTube recommending this to me is a sign that I got too interested in the New York mayoral election

In the 30 elections between 1925-2025, they’ve varied between 1.6-2.5% of the vote.

That’s one stable electorate they represent!

Massive change for next year's Holyrood election: there'll be no overnight count. Votes to be counted on the Friday instead.

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat.

This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026
