A spokesman??

What the hell is she doing that's so important someone else has to give her views to the press?

The entire job of opposition leader is to be seen and heard cos you're not doing jack that matters. I suppose I should be happy the Tory party is still so utterly useless but Christ a bit of competence in UK politics would help us all

Great at raising money, even better at giving it to nvidia

People walking out with the entire meat shelf in bags are stealing food, and preventing others from having it. They definitely need to be stopped if possible.

It is not as simple as you say

At absolute best it's breaking even before debt service.

Maybe he's still not just paying rent on some buildings and miraculously hasn't been kicked out yet

The EU is doing great. It can pay for loads of stuff with the endless fines American tech companies rack up

I'm posting the same comment in two replies here now, terrible behaviour, but yes exactly this was an attempt to force a sale and get tiktok into American ownership.

It feels very neat that America would think tiktok would ultimately choose the option where it gets more money, but that the Chinese instead choose control.

The theory is the tiktok "ban" was an attempt to force a sale on favourable terms , but tiktok has called the bluff.

The strong implication on this originally was that we were doing it because the US told us to.

Not quite sure why the Mauritius leader wants more concessions before accepting it but if he won't take it now surely the whole deal is dead anyway? Doubly so if the US that forced us to do it also doesn't want it.

The whole letter looks like a scam to take credit for something that's already happening.

This sounds good then next thing you know you're naked at Stonehenge trying to cut a cow's neck with a sickle.
No leylines, no ai, no magic cloud people.

The UK needs to rely on good old mud and rain and leaden skies.

Sadly the article doesn't link to dag's analysis of the letter he linked to on mastodon.

It's dry lawyer speak but if you're into that it's very funny dry lawyer speak.

Not clicking but if this is the one from a while ago its specifically about plastic teabags. And, like, obviously.

If you stir with a plastic spoon you'll have even more
