    Doesn’t look good on Starmer and I expect he’ll resign after the local elections which will no doubt be a disaster for Labour. Who’ll take over though as there are no stand out candidates?

    Thing is Trump has done 100 things worse than this whilst being in office this time around nevermind the 4 previous years yet somehow he’s still here.

    And how did Johnson last so long? I think prorouging Parliament very shortly after becoming PM, which was deemed to be unlawful, was worse than what Starmer has done.

    Hopefully Badenoch won’t be next as she’s making a right pig’s ear of being leader of the opposition.

    I believe McCoy, Walsh and Fitz were going around the jockeys especially the younger ones giving safety tips. McCain-Mitchell obviously didn’t take on board what was said or just lost it in the moment thinking he was going to complete.

    Ban probably should have been longer.

    These were my thoughts after the GN Ruby. Obviously not good enough to win a GC.

    Would he have run better if he had been up with the pace? Maybe a little more enthusiastic?

    He seems to have had a long, hard season. Maybe campaign next season focusing on the GN. As Ruby says hopefully he’ll be dropped a few pounds after his last two runs.

    Would he have been campaigned the same if he was at Seven Barrows and had the opportunity?

    He’d still be running over 2 miles ;-)

    Tattoos are the first thing that puts me. Some of the women were dressed quite nice during the festival but then they had arms full of tattoos. Totally off putting IMO.

    We go nowhere. US have won. The Iranian military has been obliterated and the enemy defeated according to Trump. Back to square one as if the war has never happened. Israel to continue bombing innocent people.

    Obviously this is for security reasons and not restricting press coverage as this was done by the leader of the FREE world

    If Maximus goes for the hat-trick next season will Cobden have first choice of the McManus horse or does Townend retain the ride?

    Many thanks for running this this season Hot Fuss. Good luck all. Hopefully someone will pull a big priced National winner out of the bag so we don’t have to put up with HDLG banging on about it for the next 6 months ;-)

    Haven’t really followed this over the past few days but to me it seems Iran are holding all the decent cards. A trickle of boats through the Strait whilst Iran receive a toll for each boat that passes? Israel meanwhile are surely breaking the ceasefire by bombing Lebanon.

    A very strange dream last night after which at 3am I just had to look at my phone to see what was going on. The dream consisted of myself and a few others taking Trump to the International court on war crimes. No idea who the others were but my guess would be Moe, Richard, HDLG and ringleader Glad with our lawyer friend Drone :unsure:

    Looks a bit before my time Moe. 1980 Flash Gordon film was my time as a kid.

    Hopefully Pakistan come to the rescue and talk some sense into Trump (highly unlikely).

    Just hope I wake up tomorrow and Trump has declared a further deadline rather than hearing that thousands of civilians have been killed in Iran.
