What is a life worth?
Six months jail it seems:

The Express is so desperate to show Reform UK in a good light, they’ve reported them winning 1 out of 5 by-elections yesterday as a β€˜crucial victory’.

All that journalism study, Katie Harris and they’ve got you writing this…

Are they paying the express for these press release articles?

General Petraeus has just been on BBC R4 saying he believes Trump will tell the truth about bombing a children's school.

Bless.

You mean Redzepi, and many of the others, are total frauds? They have been getting away with serving crap but, like the Emperor's New Clothes, have had gullible idiots to say how marvelous it is.
I give you Mirazur in Menton as a prime example.

It is only a problem which has been going on for about ten years. You have to give them a bit of time . . .

It is craven journalism which lets Trump get away with it.

Mandy Wixon sentencing at Gloucester Crown Court.
Judge is about 15mins late at the start of the case (due to begin at 10.00) and has had two breaks before 12.15.

Remember, they want you to believe it is the jury which slows everything down. . . .

Easy 12-1 winner Holloway Queen (18.1 Betfair SP) was another top-rated winner at Cheltenham today. Over 14pts level stake profit on the day at Betfair SP.

Surely the point is politics journalism doesn't work. It ends up as a big pals club when the reporters get too close to their subjects to ask serious questions.

It was also a defence line which was never going to run.
Mind you, a book of "People in racing who have fallen foul of the law' would run to several volumes.

Tory peer to leave Lords after investigation finds he breached standards over Covid PPE deals Lord Chadlington introduced government to company in which he had financial interest in 2020

BBC version only tells half the story. I think this one is better:

Break the rules, don't cooperate with inquiries, get Β£50+m contracts for a firm you have a financial interest. The PPE supplied is useless, company goes bust owing Β£1.1m in taxes.

Crooked Chadlington can just walk away.

The French knew what to do with aristos.

At Betfair SP:
2025 -18.8 (an awful lot of near misses!)
2024 +9.32
2023 +14.70
2022 -2.26

So +2.96 for the last four Cheltenham Festivals (plus an awful lot of fun).
