If it feels like the buildup to this Ashes series has lasted 842 days that is because it pretty much has. Test cricket's oldest rivalry resumes on Friday inside Perth's 60,000-seat thunderdome and with it, mercifully, comes fresh fuel for the ever-raging fire. Because on one level the Ashes never really starts or stops. Since Stuart Broad nicked off Alex Carey at the Oval on 31 July 2023 the final act of a dramatic 2-2 draw
"I remember working with Esme Wren and Hannah Barnes and Deb Cohen and we were looking at the question of the Tavistock," she said. "This was the only gender identity development service for the under-16s. "We questioned why it wasn't data led, why it seemed to be so arbitrary with the kind of recommendations and advice and even the [puberty] blockers they were handing out to young people. "The work we did actually led to the closure of the Tavistock."
I knew there could be as many bad outcomes as good outcomes, says Christine. Certain things will be picked up and stories might come out, including ones that aren't true. But I'd been trying for four years to understand what happened and I still had so many questions. I'd come to a brick wall so I went ahead. She pauses for a moment before adding: And whatever happens next, I always say that no one can do anything worse to me now.
I don't think we have to cut, Mamdani said. I've spoken about raising taxes on the wealthiest. And, frankly, this is, an issue that we have here in New York City, and, frankly, even across this country. Mamdani said he had spoken to people who voted for Donald Trump in New York who told him it was cost of living that drove them to vote for the president.
Victoria Beckham the documentary is as immaculately groomed, polished and controlled as Victoria Beckham the person. It is a puff piece for her, for husband David, her beauty line and, above all, her fashion business. It charts her evolution from stagestruck child and teenager (You got a callback for Starlight Express! mum Jackie recalls proudly), to Spice Girl, to most famous of the England football team's WAGs, to increasingly successful fashion designer and businesswoman.
When he landed in Ireland and took up the role of national team manager, the first thing that really confused Heimir Hallgrimsson was the level of media interest and scrutiny as he was anointed to the most high-profile job in Irish sport.
The message, however, went to a work phone that she had deliberately left at home that evening; she had a date night with her husband, Markus Räikkönen, a former soccer player turned tech entrepreneur. The couple had dinner with friends, stopped by a cocktail bar near the Helsinki harbor, and then went dancing at Butchers, a night club named to evoke New York City's meatpacking district.
Ruben Amorim, like those before him, blinks in the glare of the endless fascination with Manchester United's leading man, and may wonder whether this is the impossible job. Three games into a first full campaign the 40-year-old seemed to believe so. The desultory 12-11 Carabao Cup penalty shootout defeat at Grimsby followed a 1-0 loss to Arsenal and 1-1 draw at Fulham. Three matches, zero wins, and the executioner's song began to wail for the Portuguese's job security.
This time last year, Beatrice Zavarro, a then unknown lawyer from Marseille, drew herself up to her full 1.45-metre (4ft 8in) height, and addressed the figure in the dock: It's you and me against the world. That man was Dominique Pelicot. Over the next three months and 17 days, the court would learn that for almost a decade he had drugged his wife, Gisele, and invited more than 50 men into their bedroom to rape her while she was unconscious.
As you know, on Wednesday I referred myself to your independent adviser on ministerial standards, Sir Laurie Magnus, to conduct a thorough investigation into my personal financial circumstances after I became aware that it is likely I inadvertently paid the incorrect rate for stamp duty land tax (SDLT). I have always taken my responsibilities as deputy prime minister, secretary of state for housing, communities and local government, as well as a member of parliament with the utmost seriousness.
Maggie, when you heard the President say today that he wasn't aware of these conspiracies. I mean, he did write, in all-caps, on Sunday, that he had NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE, as he posted on Truth Social. Obviously, he kind of seemed to know something was up. And I wonder what your reporting says about his assertions that he didn't know about all this rampant speculation, over the weekend.
