Prigozhin just posted his first video message since the weekend.

That second tweet isn't remotely from a reliable source. I agree that Prigozhin probably didn't leave Rostov-on-Don but there's nothing anywhere to say that Utkin was leading the convoy, especially as Utkin was proven a long time ago to be an asset of the GRU, supposedly it is Utkin that gave Wagner PMC it's name, as Wagner was his callsign in the Ru Army, the official narrative being that it was he that founded the PMC. That has never been that credible and Belingcat kind of proven that the whole Wagner PMC thing was basically a GRU front. There were many links between Utkin and GRU handlers, including flights they travelled on together Bellingcat (Article predates the invasion) Someone was obviously leading the column, I'm not so sure it was Utkin though given his connections to the GRU

Much like nobody else said this either What has deliberate got to do with anything. Big Ron just can't help himself

There is also this It's about 5okm directly north of Mariupol

Is there a link to this story?

He only gets the casting vote on MPC though, he'd have to get rid of his three assistants and the Chief economist, or the 4 independent members to guarantee the result he / the Govt wants. That would spook the markets again

The current chairman has a contract until 2028. If they sack him for a non-credible reason that would cause financial turmoil in the markets

But the BoE is independent of the government. Are you suggesting the Government will take control of the BoE again?

My choice of second word was utterly stupid today but still managed a three despite it Wordle 737 3/6

Yep and those that did take part will be pardoned (and executed anyway)

No encore shows are the future. Encores are always embarrassing Do your set and be done with it

Haha, my daughter just accused him of padding out the set

That’s a hell of a one day crime spree. Frank Bough has a lot to answer for.

Yep, outdoor always makes it harder, wind changes things, temperatures change etc, indoors, once the crowd is in the conditions are more constant, outdoors, not so much

Haha, he's always been a bit like a pub singer who got lucky. (And that isn’t a criticism)

That’s an inherent problem with festivals, Elton's vocals sounded ropey for the first three songs, it takes sound engineers a while to get it right even with a soundcheck at a festival with no soundcheck it’s even harder, chuck a guest in for one song and that’s a recipe for getting it wrong at the start

Tbh his vocals sound alright on my telly (my telly is nothing special, it’s not even branded)

This is the fourth guest (sorry, no clue) there’s no way he's doing the rest of this set on his own

Oh I have no idea really, the daughter unit mentioned someone beginning with B so I took a punt

Opening a shopping mall in Dubai does nothing for her career and Dubai are there to be milked for cash. Not comparable

When did Brandon Flowers steal Freddy Mercury's teeth?

Where does that put the Beyoncé spotted at Bristol Airport rumour

There is no grey area when it comes to what RA said about Marcel Desailly "He's what is known in some schools as a **** lazy thick n-word” It really shouldn’t be up for debate, there is no way to dress that up as not being racist.

Dunno, missed most of it, it seemed like the most unimportant part of the set so far so I took a tactical piss

McCarthorse is definitely side stage, we just spotted him.
