  • Well, unexpected, but not shocked. Some big questions come to mind immediately.

    • Do you think Nyck got a fair chance? He's underperformed, but wasn't given long
    • Will Ricciardo be able to get any results in that car? Has he gotten over the problems that led to his McLaren exit?
    • What could this mean for next year's RB/AT lineups?

  • This dude supposedly knows the de Vries family. But I'll believe it only when we get proper motorsport press reporting it.

    More than 2.4m deals are ending in 2024, raising fears of financial timebomb

    UK homeowners face huge rise in payments when fixed-rate mortgages expire

    More than a quarter of UK homeowners on a fixed-rate mortgage are heading for sharp increase in monthly payments before the next election, in a financial timebomb that will rock the Conservatives just as voters prepare to choose the next government.

    With the Bank of England expected to increase its key interest rate next week for the 13th time, figures shared with the Guardian by UK Finance, the banking industry trade body, show more than 2.4m fixed-rate homeowner deals will expire between now and the end of 2024.

    The prospect of millions of households facing a dramatic rise in borrowing costs comes after a week of renewed turbulence in financial markets as City traders bet the Bank rate would reach close to 6% before Christmas.

    Does anyone else have to stop thinking about HS2, because it's so infuriating that it's been gutted?

    From a grand project encompassing most of England's major cities, improving connections up to Scotland and most importantly, reducing congestion on the West Coast Mainline.

    To a line from Old Oak Common, to Birmingham. Total. We need to be working on HS3 and HS4 right now, not cutting HS2 back to the bare minimum. Makes me so angry.

    Johnson’s aide nominated for peerage appears to have exaggerated time spent at Number 10

    Johnson’s aide nominated for peerage appears to have exaggerated time spent at Number 10 - Tortoise

    The woman who is set to become the UK’s youngest ever life peer appears to have exaggerated the amount of time she worked at Downing Street on her public profile. Charlotte Owen is one of seven names approved by King Charles for elevation to the House of Lords as part of Boris Johnson’s controversial resignation honours’ list.

    Her LinkedIn profile states that she worked as a special adviser for the former prime minister from February 2021 until October 2022.

    However she is not named alongside others in Number 10 in the annual report on special advisers published in June 2021. She is named in the same report from a subsequent year as working half for the prime minister and half for then chief whip Chris Heaton-Harris.
