Nice swivel & drive by Watkins.
Was never a penalty - but England made more chances, made more of the running than negative-with-the-odd-go-on-the-break Dutch - so in my view FWIW narrowly deserved the win.
Spain will be a rather different proposition

The Conservatives reputation for fiscal responsibility takes yet another hit as it emerges they failed to negotiate an exit clause for the Rwanda Bill despite a very high expectation that Labour would get in and bin it. The money should come from Sunak's pocket. www.lbc.co.uk/news/no-refu...

We must continue to hold politicians on the left to the highest standards. It isn't fighting with one hand tied, it's proving we are honest and good faith. The media is against us, it will always be an uphill battle. We have to accept that and move on.

Ah. I read Colvile (& the right-wing Tory MP who hides it well) before it, & guessed some other shady chap. (Stylistic hint too: "pollster guy" is not a flattering turn of phrase.) But as any who understand my posts realise, such suggestions I make are not presumption: they seek clarification.

Don’t worry about your ideas being unpopular. Don’t worry about the fact that you’ve just lost your seats in the biggest rejection of your party in its history. Just keep offering the voters even more of what they just loudly told you they didn’t want, while lecturing them about how you were right.

I almost desperately hope so. a) that LDs can move on a bit from gimmicks (may catch the eye & make a fair number smile, but a two-edged sword: suggestion that voters are dim mayflies) to decisive politics b) to check & improve the worst of Labour c) to break Refraud PLC, as I now call them

Yes and no. My mother lived to almost 102. ... As COVID closed in on the land, my sister took responsibility as her untrained primary carer, taking her into her own home. Hellish. My own role was modest, driving up from London once a week for a bit of respite.

Two riders before a main thesis: 1) one can't prove anything with etymology - the sense of lexical items may be variable or ambiguous, & changes over time, even within "one" language, more obvsly across languages 2) Athens etc. was never this ideal (slaves! & tyrannies) BUT: COME ON! "POLITICS"!!

I have tried to resist, but I cannot .... What fools! (Though again I must repeat, see my follow-on post: UK parties & career politicians too often manipulate a mentality of ignorance (at great expense) - it too often suits them to keep citizens in a serf-like state of immature minority).

b) such "professionals" like to reinforce such ignorance in their mugs' (the voters') heads: "leave it to us" / "don't let the country slide into turmoil & peril - trust us!" / "this election is a 2-horse race! You may not like us, but vote for us to keep those other satanic careerist bastards out"

Maddeningly, such messages are still necessary when: a) civic/civilian education is still so regressive, feeble or dim that "politics" is mistaken as some dirty horsetrading "out there", best left for "professionals" to sully their hands with - not: EVERY PUBLIC POWER & DECISION affecting you >2
