Unlike Farage to be hanging out with a fraudster convicted of conspiracy... "In 1986, Briatore was sentenced to three years in Milan for fraud and conspiracy, having been part of a team that set up rigged gambling games using fake playing cards. " bmmagazine.co.uk/opinion/form...

I like the way modern #F1 drivers are mature enough to go for a round of golf together after lunging at each other and calling each other idiots on track. I don't think the retired drivers like Villeneuve can quite understand how you can be both friends and ruthless rivals.

Michael Massi would be looking to give Norris a pen for that instead of Tsunoda for wearing all the way down the straight. #F1 #abudhabigp

Wondering if Verstappen's first stint is going to be quite long because of the lack of a gap to pit into and the lack of pace has been tyre management #F1 #abudhabigp

Poor Yuki. Get to Q3 and we'll reward you by sacrificing you to the main man. Red Bull is brutal. #F1 #abudhabigp

Assuming a Verstappen win, Norris loses the championship by a point if he finishes 4th but there's no reason to assume that there's anyone starting behind who can challenge him on os r other than Piastri. I hope McLaren resists the temptation to intervene between the drivers. #F1 #abudhabigp

Radio 5 Live asking "Brexit - time to think again?" Hmm. Attempted thinking got us into this mess.Telling is what's required. The evidence is in and indisputable.

If McLaren somehow lose the #F1 Drivers' Championship to Max Verstappen, this radio message from Joseph will still haunt them long when we're gone.

It's now risky for McLaren to go all in behind Norris. SCENARIO 1: 1st Verstappen 2nd Piastri . . Norris needs to finish 3rd+ ==== SCENARIO 2: 1st Piastri 2nd Verstappen . . Norris needs to finish 5th+ #F1 #qatargp 1/2

The sprint might have been boring but it's nowhere near as boring as watching Ferrari turn up every race weekend. #F1 #qatargp

If it's true that Tsunoda is out of #F1 at the end of this season then no need to play the team game and let Verstappen past

God Bless the "Deep State"

If Nigel Farage died the British media would immediately be unable to function.

Suspect Reform UK won't like this. "Tax on profits made by gambling firms from online bets to rise from 21% to 40% in April, alongside abolition of 10% bingo tax" Labour ahs received donations from the gaming sector though. #budget www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Substack looks like a think that will fail.

"The idea that the United States of America is not engaging with both sides equally in this war to bring it to an end is a complete and total fallacy," she told reporters. (WH spokedummy) Why would you want to do it "equally"?

Piastri seems underpriced for the championship given that's he level on points with Verstappen. Of the three drivers. He tends to finish seasons poorly compared to NOR and VER though and the momentum is clearly with the other two. #F1

It down on the avocados lads.

I'm starting to think this might come through and Verstapoen wins his fourth world championship. Verstappen is now second favourite behind Norris. #F1 #lasvegasgp

Trump was ok with Mamdani calling him a fascist while next to him in the Oval Office not because trump is a good sport ever but because he believes everyone else is as empty and cynical as he is, and that Mamdani just says those things for the base and couldn’t possibly mean it even tho Zohran does

It's striking just how many people are now prepared to be identified and go on the record in accusing Farage of having a history of gross racism. And how they corroborate each other. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hamilton for a top six at 3/1 seems fair #F1 #lasvegasgp

Most of the public know what’s going on with flags on lamp posts. Crucially for the government, 78% of its 2024 voters think anti-minority sentiment is involved in flying England flags (versus just 15% who think it’s just a national pride thing). They are getting the politics of this all wrong.

I thought Trump ended this war and everyone was living happily ever after.

Amazing that Norris lost 0.7 coming out the final corner but was still on pole by a mile. He was scrappy all session but massively fast #F1 #LasVegasGP

I shouldn't like Jenson Button's cord double breasted suit but I do #F1 #LasVegasGP

Is Tom Harwood a Reform UK spokesman? Obscene if he's not. #newsnight

When spoilt posh boy Dominic Cummings squares up to and swears at a BBC reporter, I think he genuinely believes his scruffy thug act.

“The Witkoff idea is, of course, scandalous…The Europeans are exhausting themselves trying to find a viable solution to use the assets for the benefit of Ukrainians and Trump wants to profit from them.” www.politico.eu/article/stev...

Imagine voting for this guy and then voting Reform again next year.

This is Miller, btw. The boss does not know the word "seditious."

427-1 The one's previous: "voted against House Resolution 149 condemning the illegal abduction and forcible transfer of children from Ukraine to the Russian Federation."

"I'm offering you $2k for your vote" www.axios.com/2025/11/17/2...

It's what people voted for news.sky.com/story/reform...

Looks like those Rolexes are getting a bit too pricey for members of the regime

Beginning to think the old dude Democrats actually called this right by ending shutdown.

Unfortunate that Ken Clarke referred to "Boriswave", not knowing what it really means in the context of who uses it. #bbcqt

He will leave www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well done Scotland. Scotland should be doing this anyway whether to be more prepared if the public changes its mind. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"China builds things so much faster and cheaper than us!"

Given everything, including a leader who is there to put the position on her CV and not do any work, Con's are doing surprisingly well. There's potential here to win some Reform voters back

this wheel to wheel today would result in a 700s penalty and starting the next GP from the moon

UK Bluesky catastrophising over a TV resignation. A BBC man has quit so it's the end of democracy again. It's only Monday.

Folk in the know were saying Antonelli wasn't ready for #F1 not too long ago despite his pace always being fast. #brazilgp

Antonelli gave up 0.4 seconds at the first corner by braking very early on his fastest Q3 lap compared to Norris and also himself earlier in the session. Gained 0.2 seconds back across the lap. He had pole in him. #F1 #brazilgp

3rd to 10th covered y just over 0.2 seconds is wild. It looks like it's clicked for Antonelli and Lando looks like a much stronger driver. #F1 #brazilgp

Tsunoda's best qualifying of the year, only 3 places behind Verstappen. #brasilgp #f1

As much as Stroll gets stick, if AMR were owned by a traditional manufacturer, a board would look at Stroll and Alonso separated by 5 points and say "no need to change" and move onto the next agenda item #F1 #brazilgp

Colapinto is still tied with Doohan on 0 points but comes with a lot more zeros in the right places. #F1

Amazing how this companu is in so many sustainable/ethical pension funds.
