Over the years we have had various articles with the latest FAQs and we have now decided to put them all into a single document and post. buff.ly/Uipv6RS

FAFO.

With more and more odd bits of Europe now territories of indeterminate status, often as a result of Russia’s political and territorial disputes, I spoke to the brilliant @hannahluci.bsky.social about her book Hinterlands and Europe’s unfinished frontiers. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

Thanks Mr Blair but a baselessly confident 6,000 word diatribe telling the UK to move right on every issue while embracing Trump and Silicon Valley wasn't even that cute all those times Dominic Cummings wrote it.

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work like that.

35C is hot? My week ahead, for reference. Just hope we don't get another 45+ this year....

This. Facebook is fucking awful. I mean X is bad but Facebook is the place where you go to discover your aunt's collection of Waffen SS memorabilia.

Do it.

Well, birthday done for another year. 🥳🥳

Fuck me. Is that an engine in distress, or Verstappen whining again? Quit and fuck off. Please. Thank you.

Great night. Somewhat shitfaced with my best mate from school. 50 years on..... Lush. ❤️ Pool looks ace too!

ECS supports native integration with Amazon EBS volumes in GovCloud Regions AWS finally brings EBS-on-ECS to GovCloud, because nothing says "cutting edge" like getting last year's features after the government's already paid for them. At least the acronym soup is free.

There was a young man from Bombay Who covered his penis with clay The clay turned to brick And stuck to his prick And rubbed all the foreskin away

Andy Burnham trying to please Makerfield voters and Labour members

It’s early days, we’ll see what happens etc, but until someone is prepared to decisively deal with the perceived constraints it’s groundhonk day all over again (the Burnham performance so far does not inspire confidence?

Not one of them has the cojones to be brutally honest with electors. They're all scared of their own shadows, and bloody focus groups. Trouble for Burnham is the constituency is probably unrepresentative of the nation, so man has to speak with forked tongue to get elected. Or be very brave.

Next week: “I’m going to pay Palantir and privatise the NHS and lower water standards etc”

Oh :-( "Fender has not entered a battle. They have started one where none previously existed" American capitalist bullies once again. Buy something else. www.europesays.com/europe/46084/

Depressing to see the US slide to authoritarianism with the GOP exerting tighter and tighter control on elections from top to bottom. The 2 party system has been masterfully manipulated to their advantage. The much vaunted "written Constitution" isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

That'll fuck 'em..... Open source was the only long term solution here.

Research conducted in EU countries showed that, historically, housing supply does not predict housing affordability. What predicts a housing affordability crisis is the rapid expansion of buyers’ financing capacity. @alankohler.bsky.social #AusPol #Housing #TaxReform thegoodlobby.eu/the-eus-hous...

Graham has searched seven barrels so far and found very little fun and even fewer monkeys.

Well done Arsenal ending Liverpools reign. Would love to be a fly on the wall when Guardiola next goes for a quiet beer with Arteta 🤣 If I was City I'd be looking to Arteta as my next manager....

Good morning.

think that we should rejoin the EU slowly, county by county starting from the south coast, just to see how it feels

Wrong answers only please.

One for @hairybadgeridfk.bsky.social Snake studies.... 🤣

So much of the debate (such as it is), even from quite sensible people, is timebound and clichéd, a series of polemical jousts. Better thinking, better analysis, better outcome. And the reverse? Well that really is Brexit — or more broadly, la maladie anglaise.
