The Reform chairman defended the party and repeatedly stressed that it was taking the allegations seriously. However, one detail about the inquiry proved unexpectedly difficult to explain. The exchange became one of the more uncomfortable interviews of Reform's funding row.

This is a sci-fi plagiarized from Iain M Banks who would have hated Elon Musk more than anyone on Earth. Isaacson: “And does that mean humans should always be in control?” Musk: “…I mean if the AI was awesome, you’d say like, ‘Maybe the AI should be in control, you know?’”

Tucker Carlson says that the reason why people hate Russia is because it's a white, Christian country. George Galloway says it's hard to understand why anyone hates Russia, and Tucker Carlson says the West is "offended by the existence of majority-white Christian countries."

I do challenge the advice about stockpiling Sauvignon blanc. Surely better to stockpile a red - because if the power goes down, the white would be room temperature, which would be simply ghastly.
