Rare example here. It's worth noting that despite only "four" missiles launched, some got through *and* seemed to have destroyed their target

One of my favourite bands in my teens. Saw them live a few times, including when Keith was in his hamster ball. But this has just blown my mind

Wow. 3 versions of the A22 (Churchill, Churchill Crocodile, and a Black Prince)! That's pretty niche 😂 Would love to see the selection criteria. I'm guessing it's something along the lines of "what models have I built recently?"

Apparently educating yourself about supply chains, trade and international relations, and explaining how they work to people is elitist.
But spending your life reading opinion polls and devising strategies how to use them to your advantage to get into power makes you a man of the people.

Any Labour SpAd arguing for restricting student imm should be sat down in front of a map and asked three Qs:
1. Where do you think the unis in most financial trouble are?
2. How many people rely on them for jobs and income?
3. Which party represents these seats?

2. There's the silly: after being mocked for setting tariffs to trade deficit / exports, the White House retorted that they didn't do that at all – they used this fancy formula.
How convenient that the two fitted parameters, ε=4 and φ=0.25 multiply to 1, leaving...yes, trade deficit / exports.
