Does anyone recognise these paw/hoof prints? They appeared in the ashes of a small garden fire in the UK.

The change in UAE and Pog makes me even more curious about those middle of the night anti doping visits.

Under the anti-doping regulations of the International Cycling Union (UCI) which delegated its anti-doping programme to the ITA in 2021, the UCI must have “serious and specific suspicions that the rider may be involved in doping activities” to conduct tests between 11pm and 6am. The judges responsible for liberty and detention (JLD) “have concurrent jurisdiction to rule on requests for night-time anti-doping tests”, the Paris public prosecutor’s office told AFP.

No shit, who knew....🤔

The core argument of the new paper, from advisers closely aligned with Burnham, is that private markets have been allowed to operate in areas where they are inappropriate. Public provision, managed by the state to meet social need, has been replaced with private ownership, geared to profit. We can all see the damage in energy, water, housing, transport and care.

Since the 1980s, the state has progressively surrendered public control of this infrastructure. Britain’s overlapping crises of living costs, weak economic performance and strained public finances all stem from this long‑term privatisation of essential services.

I've an optimistic feeling that the dirty money behind these people, and their kind, is drying up, and that's all they're in it for.

I look at a stage profile like this and think "early but doomed breakaway. Real GC action with a km to go". Hope I'm wrong.

I'm looking forward to 'Fucked After 80' but it might be a shorter read.

We're told pensions are
'unsustainable', the Post Office is
'unsustainable' and now that the
NHS is 'unsustainable'. They were all entirely sustainable before the private sector starting looting the public sector
