@FraserSport1 @WRRAPodcast That last 20 was bad. How can you kick the ball away for 7-8 mins with a two man advantage in today’s rugby 🤯. They’ve improved so much but that felt a real backwards step to finish after being the better team for so long.

Dragons have undoubtedly improved under Filo Tiatia. But the URC table again makes grim reading for them. Left to reflect on numerous games they've tossed away this season - today included.

@Lesleyknibb He’s a lousy prime minister of no noticeable integrity or principle. Mandelson alone should have ended him. He appears to have wanted power for the sake of power. He blows like a feather in the wind, U-turning so often he must have permanent whiplash.

CV. Completely ruined a major 126 year old political party in less than 2 years. Became the most hated UK Prime Minister in history. Unilaterally gave away billions of £'s of taxpayers money with no accountability required from the recipients. Wrecked the economy. Failed to control mass immigration, both legal and illegal. Failed to address the problem of muslim rape gangs. Increased welfare payments to a point where benefits now cost more than the entire income tax take. Allowed weekly pro-Palestinian hate marches on our streets. Consistently referred to people with concerns about the proliferation of migrant violence as "Far Right". Promoted one of his friends to high office despite knowing he was a buddy of one of the most prolific paedophiles on the planet. Consistently worked to reverse the result of the biggest democratic vote in British history by stealth. Placed tax dodgers, fraudsters and CV fantasists in Ministerial posts. Invited a known islamist terrorist to No.10 while simultaneously banning foreign commentators from the UK for merely reporting on the border fiasco. Took two weeks to find a Royal Navy ship that actually worked. Introduced legislation that will destroy the private rental market and create hundreds of thousands of homeless families. Promised to build 1.5 million homes in five years despite everyone telling him it would be impossible. Failed to help motorists and hauliers after the rise in the price of fuel caused by the war in Iran. Continues to allow Ed Milliband to wreck the UK's energy industry with his insane Net Zero policies. Raised the minimum wage and employers National Insurance contributions leading to thousands of job losses and businesses folding. Introduced VAT to private school fees leading to many excellent seats of learning closing their doors. Consistently refused to answer questions during the session in the parliamentary week set aside for this specific purpose. Consistently failed to accept responsibility for any wrong doing, preferring to sack others instead. Alienated "working people" while claiming to be on their side. And the lies. The constant lies. Failure. Failure. And more Failure. Time to go.

@plutotlabarbie Look at the face of the interviewer - he knows at the time he’s just got his moment. He can barely contain the glee that Lammy has given him such an arrogant, complacent soundbite 😂😂

Dave: “Hello, caller, you are on the air.” Caller: “I don’t think billionaires create value.” Dave: “Okay. What do you mean by that?” Caller: “Nobody can earn a billion dollars ethically.” Dave: “Alright. What do you do for a living?” Caller: “Well, before this, I was a bartender.” Dave: “Nothing wrong with bartending. Honest work.” Caller: “Right.” Dave: “And now?” Caller: “I work in government.” Dave: “Okay. So let me get this straight. You're saying Elon Musk, who helped build PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, has made innovations like online payments, electric cars, rockets, and satellite internet possible, didn't earn his way to being a billionaire?" Caller: “None of that justifies being a billionaire.” Dave: “Well, sure sounds like value got created somewhere along the line.” Caller: “I disagree.” Dave: “What exactly did you build?” Caller: “I advocate for economic justice.” Dave: “No ma’am, I mean actual products.” Caller: “…” Dave: “You’re telling me the guy catching rockets mid-air created less value than a person who used to serve mojitos and now votes on spending his tax dollars?” Caller: “That’s unfair.” Dave: “What’s unfair is pretending markets are imaginary while cashing a government paycheck funded by the businesses you claim don’t create value.” Caller: “I’m actually a congresswoman.” Dave: “Oh Lord. Of course!"

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: You can't earn a billion dollars. Ilana Glazer: That's right. AOC: You just can't earn that. Glazer: That's exactly correct. AOC: You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. Glazer: Yup. AOC: You can pay people less than what they're worth. Glazer: Yup. AOC: But you can't earn that, right? Glazer: That's right. AOC: And so you have to create a myth that -- since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.

Keir Starmer
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer·
These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.

@GillibrandPeter Shouldn’t it read 150.5 and if so shouldn’t it go from 150 to 50 later on meaning C wins last seat?

A thread on how the Welsh election vote count happens… There’s a new voting system and it’s designed to better reflect the vote share a party gets. It’s not THAT complicated. I’m gonna break down the “D’hondt method” for you… Using this imaginary election… THREAD.

This is one of the most intriguing charts in the world right now. Not necessarily because China’s annual CO2 emissions are on another planet, we all know that already, but because climate ideology remains almost entirely centered in Western Europe. If you truly believe that frustrating housing development, blocking roads, gluing yourself to buildings, or throwing soup at priceless art is the way to make the world better, why are you not doing it where it has the biggest impact? If you believe in catastrophic climate projections, including the extreme scenarios that even the United Nations is now moving away from, and if you believe that destroying things and severely disrupting people’s lives is the way to reduce CO2 emissions, then at least focus on where the biggest reductions can actually be achieved. Instead, after years of societal damage, activists keep demanding more idiotic measures in countries that have already cut emissions and are nowhere near China’s levels. In Europe, climate ideology has produced massive imbalances: housing shortages, energy insecurity, loss of competitiveness, industrial decline, wealth destruction, and rising polarization. All without anything close to a meaningful global reduction in CO2 emissions.

@Like6Ninjas @SamaHoole Isn’t maintenance great for nearly every person over 35 that has a decent base of fitness/strength to start ? Is it realistic to maintain strength/fitness gains beyond 40s?

Things that feel like training and are not: - Sweating - Being out of breath - The pump - Muscle soreness the next day - A high heart rate - Leaving the gym dizzy - Lying on the bench between sets staring at the ceiling Things that are training: - Lifting more weight than you did last time, or the same weight for one extra rep, with the same form, and walking out of the building roughly the same colour you walked in You will, over time, learn to spot the difference. Most people do not.

1. Encourage mass immigration of people whose cultural enemy are Jews. 2. Bemoan the fact that antisemitism is increasing exponentially. 3. Blame it on the far right & social media platforms.
