Husband, father and Formula One expert. Specialist subject.. boring people to tears about the intricacies of a modern (by modern I mean post 1980) F1 car.
Once again @10DowningStreet shows a total lack of leadership by waiting until an ethics committee rules to decide whether to sack someone who's already guilty of total and utter hypocrisy in abandoning her usual moral outrage at other people owning second homes and avoiding tax.
He can't sack her as Deputy leader of Labour, but he can ensure she has no further part in cabinet, forcing her to into obscurity and unimaginable pressure to resign from the party to step aside and make way for someone who doesn't covet scandals every other month.. but he won't.
So the ASA can ban adverts that feature models who 'appear too thin', but celebrate ones who feature women who are clinically obese without woringing about any of the potential health implications.

14-months in young offenders institution despite risking the life of his passenger and 7 police officers, 4 of whom are still not able to work. All while having no licence or insurance and driving again days later.

Why didn't @Max33Verstappen stay out when @OscarPiastri & @LandoNorris pitted under the safety car? He may have had a free stop but if he'd stayed out he'd have had track position. Pitting meant he came under pressure from behind, staying out gave him an outside chance of a win.
If they reverse the cut, it only proves that it was affordable and they cut it for ideological reasons. Restoring it won't win back the faith or votes they lost abusing the elderly.

Unfortunately @Charles_Leclerc has to be penalised for the move on @alex_albon. He may have given the position back, but only after ensuring his teammate got past, ultimately costing Albon a position. If Charles is not penalised it demonstrates that teams can game the rules.
I've seen many posts pointing out that Reform scraped a win in Runcorn, but few mentioning that the 3 mayoral elections they won were by the skin of their teeth!
444 votes in Tyneside.
698 votes in Doncaster.
A slightly more respectable 5945 (but only 2.9%) in West of England.
How can Labour be 'grateful voters put their faith in the Labour candidate' when 70% didn't! 7 out of 10 voters wanted somebody else and but for a handful of votes, as many wanted a complete unknown from an untried and untested party! That speaks volumes!

How does losing tax payer funded security prevent him or his family visiting the UK? He can pay for private security just as any other celebrity can, but simply doesn't want to!

If 2015 wasn't a political earthquake, so far EVERY declared council that has a controlling party has gone to Reform (50% outright), and of the seven that are now in no overall control, Reform are in the position to form a coalition with the Tories in 4.. nobody else has won ANY!
Correction, it changed as I was typing... they now have the option to take control in 4 of the 8 under no over all control, so only 50% of the councils... providing Lib Dems, Greens, Independents and Labour can all work together in just about every other council!
How many times does an innocent man have to be persecuted to placate the need for a head on a platter because the person 100% at wrong was a minority and some people simply cannot accept that.

The real travisty is that either an innocent man will be punished, or he'll be found innocent yet again, and those who cannot accept that will simply twist that fact and paint it as a 'White man cannot be punished for killing a Black man in Britain' to create yet more division.
Isn't it amazing how the 'free speech is absolute' mob will defend anything said by people they support... but as soon as someone says something they don't like, suddenly it's not as absolute as they claim, and they cry 'hate speech' after deriding others for even using the term.
So Trump has total confidence in a man who shares national security information on social media, but threatens to illegally fire the head of the fed for not doing his job!

An issue with the #SaudiGP most people have overlooked. In 2021 Max was penalised for a 'brake check' on Lewis. Yesterday, Lap 14 Lewis brake checked Norris to retain DRS (Lewis slowed by FAR more than Alonso was penalised for in Aus 24) and it wasn't even noted by race control!
The @fia aren't even trying to hide the bias. Onbiards clearly show @Max33Verstappen ahead at the apex and run wide by Oscar, there is NO WAY he should have been penalised. Either it's a 1st lap incident and no action or penalise Oscar for forcing another driver off the track.
The Supreme Court has just issued a ruling confirming what anyone with an ounce of common sense already knew. You can change gender because it's a societal invention, but you can't change your sex. No amount of paperwork modifies your genes, no certificate rewrites your DNA.
