Amid the egos that can go out of control with the Ballon D’Or, Kane is a good, diligent, hard-working - and exceptionally talented - professional.
Actually feels a bit of a winner from another era, in a good way.
HS2 to Newcastle would have been nice 😉
Liz Truss claims the U.K. would have managed successful missions to Mars within years — if only her 49-day premiership hadn’t been cut short.

Re-upping this Makerfield focus group from last week in light of headlines around PM re-opening convo on EU. I thought he’d get a Brexit backlash. But my big surprise in group was that nearly all these leave voters had regret & open to PM’s look again

Strange. It was hard to broadcast over the noise of so many celebrating Brazilians....
I truly resent these people constantly crying victim when the tech bros give their views a reach they clearly don't deserve

He sounds like a neo-Nazi @piersmorgan, not sure how you can continue to feign outrage over that description. What else would you call your pal’s rhetoric here? It’s pure white supremacist, Neo-Nazi racism.

Tonight - Serbia feels like the new Hungary - over throwing of a Russia friendly / Putin sympathising leader for something genuinely new - in Serbias case a student led party . Does this shift dynamics in the war on Ukraine ? And with the shape of the EU?
I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students' List @studentblokade, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them on their victory. I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle.

Not even close
Brazil’s election has descended into chaos after a plea by President Lula - losing in all polls - saw the Supreme Court extend voting hours arbitrarily for two hours. Lula claimed public transport difficulties had stopped his voters getting to polling stations. But should he somehow turn his polling deficit around through this move, how can anyone expect Flávio Bolsonaro supporters to accept such an obviously gerrymandered result? Elections lose all integrity if you change the rules to ensure your vote is maximised.

1/ 🇷🇸🇷🇺 Vučić just lost Serbia.
russia’s most useful Balkan ally called a snap election to cling to power. Students who spent 2 yrs in the streets crushed him.
Moscow spent a decade buying influence with cheap gas & political cover.
Europe didn't oust him. Serbians did.

'Wind' by Ted Hughes:
"This house has been far out at sea all night,
The woods crashing through darkness, the booming hills,
Winds stampeding the fields under the window"
