someone who liked to say the right thing rather than the unexpected thing It all changed in August 2014 when my third child He died after a catastrophic placental abruption when I was 33 weeks pregnant something no doctor had predicted so no one could prevent Apart from the fact that he wasn’t healthy The local elections results tell us one clear thing: the ‘two main parties’ offer a change that actually changes nothing – and voters know it Anyway: the local elections, where the big thing that people said could never happen seems to be happening. Farage now leads Reform UK which even last year used to be bundled in the “other” category by political pollsters – now its standalone poll results frequently top the charts with the eponymous two parties of The Two-Party System doing not a whole lot better than simply wailing that it isn’t supposed to be this way one of Labour’s safest seats in the general election you might dimly recall it won by a massive landslide 10 months ago Reform might have nicked it in record-breaking fashion by only six votes but the word you rightly keep hearing is “seismic” the missing link between that and the vegetable kingdom – former Conservative Andrea Jenkyns – was victorious in the Greater Lincolnshire mayoral election and is now the most questionably gifted entity ever to hold the position of mayor including Mayor Humdinger in Paw Patrol and that goat that was once elected somewhere in Texas The Runcorn byelection may have been forced by the former Labour MP literally punching one of his constituents but people’s metaphorical sense of having been mugged by politics-as-usual was surely a big part of Reform’s surge Keir Starmer didn’t even bother to go to Runcorn during the entire campaign Hearing repeatedly this morning from the Labour party chair that “traditionally prime ministers don’t campaign in byelections” felt like just another way of falling back on weird conventions that no one normal has ever heard of Hearing people talk politician-speak has tipped over from being annoying Yet as the Runcorn result was confirmed early this morning, Labour issued a statement that in many ways epitomises the sense that the old guard won’t – or perhaps can’t – see that they are going to have to find completely different ways of talking to people “Voters are still rightly furious with the state of the country after 14 years of failure and clearly expect the government to move faster with the Plan for Change,” it droned robotically “While Labour has suffered an extremely narrow defeat the shock is that the Conservative vote has collapsed Moderate voters are clearly appalled by the talk of a Tory-Reform pact.” Leaving aside the amusingly questionable analysis in an age which supposedly prizes authenticity over all things that most political parties are still communicating in a weird desiccated way that has all the welcoming charm and accessibility of a panic room the people in question quite clearly aren’t voting for tinkering They are voting for destruction – creative or otherwise – of the old ways The Tory leader was in seclusion at time of writing but her party’s co-chair did emerge to explain: “Kemi has said this is a marathon not a sprint.” I’m sure whoever used to finish fourth to Usain Bolt liked to claim the same the stadium will have been knocked down and redeveloped before Badenoch has a full policy platform a huge amount of tearful wank was expended over the past few years about people “normalising” Farage by extension suggesting that any voter who had time for his messages couldn’t really be normal This is what I think of as the “People’s Vote Fallacy” so-called after the equally wanky second referendum movement that was named in such a way as to suggest that its leadership were unaware either that there had already been a people’s vote or didn’t really consider those who had won it to be people at all Even now you have the general secretary of the TUC this week informing people via the pages of this newspaper that Farage is “a political fraud and hypocrite” and a “public school-educated ex-metals trader cosplaying as a champion of the working class” Paul must know plenty of trade unionists voted for Farage Is he saying they’re too dumb to see through him or just conceding that more of the working class might end up drawn to Farage’s movement than his Across the conventional political spectrum you can find bigwigs lining up to say Farage is appalling and a chancer apparently without realising what that then makes them someone people find less appealing than that guy and though it is unclear what new order is coming down the line it is increasingly possible to see that the old one has been fractured There’s a good line in a Martin Amis novel about a man who begins to crave a cigarette even while he is smoking a cigarette and on initial inspection it might seem like there is something of that to England But that would presuppose Labour had contrived to effect any sort of change at all – if it ever even had a plan for it politics is beginning to feel ineluctably tidal – like change is happening to this government "My character used to be a flight attendant," Squerciati kicked it off showing off a model plane that lives on her desk "I have a very, very special little Post-it in my desk that was left

kid got upset that my [character 's] daughter Makayla made this for me so I had to hide it." In her hand was a small animal figurine that appeared to have been handmade and painted by a child 'I could do better than Makayla,' so this is what she made." She swapped the zebra for a fiery Fans loved the chaotic nature of the presentation "Marina’s always cracking me up!" "Marina’s hilarious 😂," another agreed "I love that @marinasqu kept finding the camera and coming back 😂." "I love how everyone shows one thing and Marina already has another thing💀," another couldn't help but to laugh over as someone else applauded "the little worldbuilding items." "This is the coolest thing ever," somebody else declared Even more latched on to her real-life daughter's jealousy of her fictional one "Not @marinasqu real daughter getting jealous of her tv daughter 😂😂😂." "Awww @marinasqu your daughter is so cute bless your her mama omg that made me get very emotional ❤️❤️❤️ such a sweetheart," another gushed The all-female Blue Origin flight on Monday broke boundaries and set records in the spouting of girlboss gibberish Well, I watched every second of the buildup, flight and aftermath of the first Blue Origin all-female space trip. You’ve heard of one small step for man? This was one giant leap backwards for womankind. I’m kidding, I’m kidding! What could be more empowering or something than watching Lauren Sánchez make going to space sound like brunch with the girrrrrls. Sally Ride could never Given the mixture of freebie rides and seats sold to the super-rich, the thing people always say about Blue Origin tickets is that prices range from zero to $28m dollars A bit like a seat on a RyanAir flight to Tallinn But these spots were all personally gifted by Bezos and Sánchez because this was an Important Mission Which also meant the whole thing was exclusively documented by Blue Origin’s Pravda-like web channel the anchors and reporters kept explaining that – unlike when men went to space in the past – this mission was all about emotions it’s great that we’re valorising emotions above all things because it gives me permission to say how very much I hated this entire Lauren already bills herself as a children’s author and kept being told she was adding “astronaut” to the world’s longest multi-hyphenate “I can’t put it into words but I looked out the window and we got to see the moon.” Back at the viewing platform in the West Texas desert Kris Jenner and a bottom-tier Kardashian (Khloé) Khloé glossed the moment of landing with the words: “it’s literally so hard to explain right now” “There’s one woman whose grandfather is back there and he is 92 and they didn’t even have transportation back then.” I mean Katy Perry kisses the ground on her return to Earth Photograph: BLUE ORIGIN/AFP/Getty ImagesAmid extremely stiff competition the most hardcore gibberish emanated from Perry who served up an entire word salad bar involving the “feminine divine” and being “super-connected to love” “It’s about making space for future woman,” she explained “It’s about taking up space.” Imagine going to actual space and talking instead about therapy-speak “space” When Buzz Aldrin beheld the surface of the moon he described it as “magnificent desolation” if he wanted to feel desolation he could have just tuned into this corner of West Texas on Monday afternoon When a Stem advocate came for her post-flight interview we got to see the apparently lobotomised reporter shriek: “How do you look perfect after just going to space?!” I always thought space travel was futuristic but this was the first time it came off as travelling back in time in this case using their little capsule to take us back to the most ludicrous inanities of 2010s girlboss feminism it felt like a sign of the times that everything was about personal growth rather than affording any new understanding of wider humanity As King put it: “I’m so proud of me right now.” Everyone talked in whatever trite solipsism language has been reduced to by a permanent diet of social media self-care It all made me realise how much I miss humans not permanently crying on TV and being able to find words that don’t sound like they could be printed above a picture of a crossroads sign on Instagram Why do I feel like the most meaningful thing to come out of this will be a three-minute song called Space Cowgirl As claims pile up about the charity he founded he’s learning that smiling and biting your lip can be quite painful and something about her stewardship of the charity has provoked its entire board of trustees to judge that their relationship has broken down irretrievably Chandauka in turn has said that the charity was riddled with “poor governance and accused Prince Harry of “harassment and bullying at scale” And in case that wasn’t clear, in the interests not of balance, but of accuracy, we do have to state that Prince Harry seems like quite hard work, too. Likewise, his wife served as chair of Prince William’s conservation charity and consequently CAN ONLY BE a formal plant by Harry’s brother The theory suggests that Rawlinson is deliberately sabotaging Sentebale and the Sussexes on the orders of the Prince of Wales To be clear: I imagine both Iain and the Prince of Wales would rubbish these claims.) Still it’s some more yarn to pin up across the Squad’s investigation wall which already resembles one of those webs spun by a spider which has ingested considerable quantities of LSD in the interests of running comprehensive denials I imagine the spider would rubbish that claim and insist it had taken nothing stronger than a fly.) It does seem absolutely mad that there is a charity to help some of the world’s poorest children living with the blight of life-threatening disease when the true victims in all of this seem to be very senior professional or royal people who simply can’t work with each other without explosive fallouts and worldwide publicity tours Could there not be a much more worthwhile charity set up to help all these people in positions of power and influence when things go wrong at work instead of children who – let’s face it – aren’t subject to anything like the same pressures and I’m sure the donations

the hearing here Saturday afternoon relative to the proposed interstate bridge across the St which was held prior to the hearing on relocation of the state trunk highway on the lake shore bridge engineer and secretary of the commission "The meeting is for the purpose of finding out in a general way what the project means the sentiment of the public and whether there is sufficient sentiment for the project for the highway commission to proceed in the matter," said Mr "If the commission decides to go farther after this hearing is considered the matter will then be taken up with the adjoining state and an effort will be made to determine if the other state is prepared to share its proper burden of the cost." Opinion split on road changeShould the state highway commission relocate the state highway now designated as running along the south shore of Lake Superior 13 the official state trunk road penetrating this part of Douglas county it will result in virtual adandonment of the project to build a lake shore drive right on the shore of the lake Arguments for and against this action were heard at the hearing on the matter in the county boar room in the courthouse Saturday afternoon Most of the arguments favored relocation of the road which would bring more funds to be spent on the Lakeside road maintenance engineer of the highway commission said that although the expense of building a road right along the lake shore would be great and such a project might not be undertaken for several years it was likely that at some future time the state legislature would gather all such projects in one group and provide for their financing Petitions protesting the new schedule of street cars operating on the Twenty-first street line now are in circulation among residents of that district The petitioners request the street railway company to so change its schedules of car operation that a fixed running schedule will be possible It is complained by the Twenty-first street patrons of the the cars that under the present schedules it is impossible for the patron to know whether the cars will run to the Sixth street loop or to Belknap and Tower only The terminal points of the cars are changed to enable the street railway company to meet all traffic demands during the rush hours of morning and evening The opening of Superior's new Androy hotel May 15 and 16 will be an informal affair to correct an erroneous impression that the opening festivities would be strictly formal Although tuxedos or evening dress will doubtless be worn it will not be necessary "We want this opening to be all inclusive and representative of the whole city of Superior," said Mr "It is for the 'home folks' and every effort is being made to have the opening an event long to be remembered by those who attend it."

Rodriguez has long been viewed as one of the most skilled strikers in the division With wins over the likes of former title challenger Yan Xiaonan in which she suffered split decision losses to rising star Iasmin Lucindo and former champ Jéssica Andrade her striking output wasn’t enough to offset her opponents’ control time in the grappling exchanges as she faces an elite grappler in Robertson

has secured nine total takedowns and controlled her opponents for a combined 27 minutes it’s what Robertson’s done with that control time that’s made all the difference Where Robertson’s really evolved is her eagerness to inflict damage on the ground rather than spending too much time searching for a submission A perfect example was Robertson’s clash with Polyana Viana at the start of last year The 29-year-old dominated on the ground with relentless ground-and-pound securing the second TKO of her career and showing that opponents can’t just worry about chokes once they hit the mat with her this is a classic striker versus grappler matchup But if Rodriguez wants to make her way back up the strawweight ladder she’ll need to show that she can stop the takedown attempts of Robertson and keep the fight where she wants it Despite the advantage in the grappling realm Robertson may look to showcase her consistent evolution in her striking and all-around mixed martial arts game to prove

There are no reports of injury. The campus briefly went into lockdown. Law enforcement sources reported that the student was a 13-year-old boy and that the gun went off accidentally, possibly from inside a backpack, between 8 and 8:30 am. A Los Angeles Unified message to parents did not specify the age or gender of the student or the precise time of the incident: “Today, a student allegedly discharged a possible firearm inside of a classroom and thereafter fled the campus,” according to a message that went out at 10:40 a.m. “No students or staff were injured. The campus has been swept by law enforcement and the lockdown has been lifted.” In the message, officials said they “took immediate action, including notifying the Los Angeles School Police Department and Region West Operations for further investigation.” The parents of the “impacted students” have been notified, according to the district message. As is typical in such situations, L.A. school police will be providing “on-campus support and extra patrols for the remainder of the week,” the message said. Counseling services also will be available. The school also has scheduled a parent meeting on Zoom at 4 p.m. Wednesday. An earlier message, sent out at 9:11 a.m., alerted parents that “there was a situation on campus that per District Policy resulted in ... going on lockdown. Students and staff are safe. School Police and District are on campus. There is no imminent threat to any student at this time.” Westside Global Awareness Magnet SPAN school serves grades K through 8 and describes itself as a “small, family-friendly campus, nestled between the Venice Beach shoreline and the Ballona Creek wetlands. ...

Become one. “It was years of neglect when she inherited it and she had no idea what she was getting into,” Marlow told the county Board of Appeals adding that Carper needed more time to determine which boats might be salvageable Evans said Carper did only marginal cleanup and left the boatyard in a condition that was “not tolerable.” Evans was blunt: “The notion that there is a boat on the property that is launchable and watertight what I am suggesting to you is it could not be launched anyway because the access to the water is full of dead boats and a collapsed pier.” Evans said the penalty seemed reasonable — especially after County Attorney Marissa Merrick said fines could have been as much as $1,200 daily and after learning Carper is trying to sell the marina for close to $1 million “I am surprised the county has not done something more dramatic earlier,” the judge said How Essex Yacht Harbor became a graveyard for 110 once-seaworthy vessels now either sunk in the water or rotting on land explains a lot about the limits of state law county codes and officials’ empathy for a taxpayer in a bad situation “The county is not interested in burdening people,” Merrick said without bringing this property into compliance … that is what the fine is for — and there is no legal argument that it is improper." Boat owners abandon and sink their vessels because the cost of proper disposal ranges from $3,000 for a small wooden boat to $15,000 for a larger fiberglass one according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources The DNR considers a vessel abandoned if it is “left without authorization” on public or private land A derelict vessel is an abandoned one that is “sinking Popular dumping spots include the waters around Baltimore and the counties of Anne Arundel The DNR removes an average of 30 to 60 a year State officials seek reimbursement if they can find the owner Those who leave a boat in the water risk a fine of $1,000 and up to six months in prison Owners can reclaim their vessel after paying; most don’t A new law passed in 2024 allows the DNR to more widely publicize abandoned boats as well as create a voluntary disposal turn-in program Leaking motor fuels and coppers from anti-fouling paint can pollute the waters. The biggest risk is from microplastics, which don’t break down. Oysters, fish and crabs can consume them, creating food web problems and, in some cases, leading to fish that carry both sperm and eggs a professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science who specializes in maritime environmental issues But the boats at Carper’s marina were out of reach of state law because they were not abandoned at first; they became that way Dennis Carper built the marina in 1950 after working for another boat builder according to his obituary in The Baltimore Sun and he wouldn’t get rid of anything,” said Ronnie Brown a longtime family friend who owns part of the Carper property but was not cited or fined Or he’d give people money for boats and use them for parts.” Among the boats laid to rest on Sandalwood Road: the houseboat that Keanu Reeves’ character lived on in the 2000 movie “The Replacements.” “You see the white yacht with the satellite dish covered in seagull shit,“ Reeves said in the film Carper died in 2013 and passed the marina to his son but her attorney said she had no involvement with running the marina Neighbors have grumbled about the property for years Baltimore County’s chief of code enforcement Inspector Dwayne Elliott’s notes indicate that he extended a couple of deadlines because Carper and Brown said the property was under contract to be sold and the property wasn’t cleaned up to the department’s satisfaction “There has been no progress on the cleanup of all the debris This property has been sitting as an open dump for over 10 years,” Elliott wrote in July 2024 Administrative Law Judge Andrew Belt imposed the $4,000 fine the county’s real estate arm was asking Maureen Carper to sell the county her house at 222 N to expand its Essex police precinct next door The County Council approved the purchase in April 2024 which was more than the assessed value — and approximately the estimated cost to clean up the boatyard But by the time the contract to sell the marina fell through Carper had used the proceeds to buy a four-bedroom home in Towson for $487,000 president of the Rockaway Beach Improvement Association said the hardships are no excuse for the neglect “If she didn’t want the property,” he said “she shouldn’t have taken title to it when her husband died.” breaking down boats and putting their remains in dumpsters that he rents for $600 and has hauled to landfills He said he’s removed five boats from the water Brown thinks the county could have given Carper more time when the place is finally getting cleaned up “You can only pick at it a little at a time.” Rona Kobell rona.kobell@thebaltimorebanner.com Rona Kobell is a regional reporter covering Baltimore County she worked as an environmental reporter in the region for nearly 20 years at The Baltimore Sun and The Chesapeake Bay Journal Welcome to The Banner's subscriber-only commenting community.

She adds to the outside hitter group of Blaire Bayless and Sophia Gregoire Pezelj has competed at the CEV Volleyball European Championship from 2021-2024 with France on the outside The young talent was invited to compete at training camp with the France Senior National Team and is a staple in the French volleyball system With a new head coach and completely revamped roster the Connecticut Sun face a ton of questions entering the 2025 WNBA season Connecticut Sun fans are in for a bumpy ride in 2025 the only thing certain is that nothing is certain Here’s a look at some of the biggest questions and issues entering season: Training camp began on April 27, and the Sun already released three players: Mya Hollingshed, Abbey Hsu and Morgan Maly. Hollingshed, the 25-year-old Puerto Rican center, has yet to play in her first WNBA game despite being drafted No Hsu was drafted in 2024 and has yet to play in the W as well but she has played nine games as a pro in Belgium With 18 players on the training camp roster giving the front office and coaching staff an opportunity to get a look at additional prospects Roster update: Abbey Hsu and Mya Hollingshed have been waived by the Connecticut Sun. pic.twitter.com/ZO4ierSrpr Connecticut’s questionable moves also extend back into the offseason with the Sun refusing the trade request of their sole star player hoping that she will be content to become the focal point of the rebuilding team Mabrey was given free reign on CBK Mersin in EuroLeague Women The team reached the competition’s semifinals with Mabrey averaging 17.5 points and 5.3 assists per game which placed her in the top 10 in both statistical categories The problem with Mabrey-centric play was that she was at times forcing her shot and shooting her team out of games That doesn’t sound like the ideal offensive approach for the Sun Outside of the lingering possibility of a move involving Mabrey the final roster and the outlook of the team remain huge question marks Office Hours#Bringtheheat | #CTSun pic.twitter.com/zl5H1oqRGX Two first-round picks from this year’s draft the Ivorian center who averaged close to a double-double in EuroLeague Women this season second-round pick Rayah Marshall and 6-foot-7 undrafted rookie Kamila Borkowska battling out for roster spots and playing time The developers of the proposed Marina Landing Project in downtown Salisbury have filed a $40 million lawsuit against the city and Mayor Randy Taylor from court documents obtained by DelmarvaNow the developer described itself as a "Delaware limited liability company and the owner of commercial real property located at or about 1 Fitzwater Street The lawsuit goes on to describe the company's agreements with the city: and the City entered into a Land Disposition Agreement whereby the City agreed to convey or lease certain real property located at or about 1 Fitzwater Street Developer’s affiliate performed substantial work and expended significant funds for purposes of the development and construction at the Property Developer’s affiliate entered into a deed of gift of certain real property to the City." The deed agreement in 2017 was followed by Land Disposition Agreement in 2022 with Salisbury for the Marina Landing Project Developer 1 Fitzwater Street LLC says the purpose of the LDA was the construction and development of the project but also a promise to reserve a parking lot for the developer it envisions for the project two five-story residential towers with ground-floor retail and restaurant spaces a renovated public marina facility and boathouse building The project envisions 76 residential units in total the developer and the city closed on the purchase of the property pursuant to the LDA and entered into the Parking Lot Agreement Almost immediately the city approved a site grading permit and approved site plans for the project ROUNDABOUT GETS NEW NAME: Greg Bassett honored with the renaming of downtown Salisbury roundabout: PHOTOS Lawsuit claims major change of course with election of Mayor TaylorBut in its lawsuit the developer states that everything changed with the election of Mayor Randy Taylor in November 2023 Mayor Taylor "began a pattern of attempting to renegotiate City contracts and interfering with local development." It further goes on to state "in late 2024 and early 2025 Mayor Taylor turned his attention to the Marina Landing Project and instructed City employees to not cooperate with the Marina Landing Project so he could renegotiate the LDA and extract further concessions from Developer." "Developer subsequently confronted Mayor Taylor concerning the City’s refusal to cooperate with these basic requests and specifically asked Mayor Taylor 'are you holding my Project?' Mayor Taylor unabashedly answered 'yes,'" the lawsuit states One specific point of contention is the city’s parking lot dedication to the Marina Landing Project which Taylor argued conflicted with another parking obligation to another downtown business In stating that the city and specifically Mayor Taylor were in breach of contract the lawsuit cited that Taylor's "arbitrary and capricious parking preferences are not rooted in any local ordinance or the zoning code." It seeks "damages and just compensation in excess of $40 million and any further relief this Court deems just and proper."

According to records obtained by the Tampa Bay Times, city officials emailed a draft agreement to developers Feb. 14 and asked for feedback. The city’s manager of the marina and port, David Wirth, said the city would like to bring the contract to City Council in March. Wirth followed up again March 26. Jason Hogg, principal of Waterview Marinas, representing Safe Harbor, apologized for the delay because of “the overall transaction and transition with our new partner/owner to be.” Hogg said the two parties were better off putting together a “major issues list” before trading revisions of contracts “without a mutual understanding on any larger conceptual issues.” Corbett told council members in his Thursday email that his team received comments from Safe Harbor about the draft lease agreement Wednesday night. “While it is still too early to asses the full scope and impact of their feedback, our team is committed to a thorough and timely review over the next week,” he wrote. The deal in place gives Safe Harbor, which operates the Harborage Marina at Bayboro, a five-year lease to complete a $48 million overhaul of the marina by Oct. 1, 2029, in exchange for managing the marina and keeping that revenue. Because of the city charter‘s strong protections of the waterfront, the city can’t grant a longer timeframe without a voter referendum approving that contract. Safe Harbor must renovate all marina docks, slips, pilings, restrooms, comfort stations, lounge buildings, pump-out stations and all marina-related amenities. Safe Harbor would pay the city a 10% cut on slip and dock rents and 5% cut on retail and fuel sales. The city and Safe Harbor could work out another five-year extension or a longer lease with voter approval, or the city could buy out Safe Harbor for $48 million that can’t be paid for with property taxes. Safe Harbor would also repair and replace the marina’s seawalls with city reimbursement. The HarborView Marina, which abruptly closed at the end of March, is heading to auction.

I only ask in the strictest hypothetical terms after reading that Keir Starmer’s government has been exploring whether golf bosses could host the 2028 Open championship at Donald Trump’s Turnberry resort in Ayrshire It’s almost as if the prime minister is compiling material for a seminal 2025 business manual Perhaps Starmer could ask the Treasury to “explore” buying a load of Trump meme coins the actual reply seems to have been: “Capital idea And so it is that officials from the Department for Culture Media and Sport are said to have been sounding out the R&A – which organises the Open – as to the potential obstacles to Turnberry hosting the championship an event almost as lucrative as it is prestigious Turnberry has made a profit precisely once in the past 10 years and is currently one of the many operating companies run by Trump’s sons but the advent of a major championship would certainly turn that around the R&A effectively suspended Turnberry from the list of eligible Open venues over the matter of the January 6 attack on the seat of US democracy has made more positive noises about the course at the same time as stressing that infrastructure at the location remains a challenge given how much the event has grown in size in recent years Darbon has previously said that keeping pace with that growth would require 60,000 hotel beds I can only imagine what the prime minister is thinking so someone would need to build some more hotels What a great opportunity for some lucky business genius …” Enduring another round of this is supposedly our best card or security guarantees for Ukraine – or indeed security guarantees for ourselves No world leader has ever got anything out of inviting Trump into their gifting suite perhaps imagining that repeating the same play multiple times and expecting different results is the definition of statecraft To anyone who thinks about it for more than 10 nanoseconds even discussing the possibility of returning the Open to Turnberry while Trump is president lays you open to being involved in mucky inducement giving personally valuable gifts in supposed exchange for preferential treatment seems to be legit when the recipient is the president We can only speculate about quite why civil servants should be required to conduct these grubby little feasibility studies Perhaps Starmer is too cowardly or wet to find a way of explaining to Trump that obviously it wouldn’t be appropriate and has instead kicked the president’s persistent inquiries down the chain in the hope that someone else will make the decision instead That would be an interesting impression for a country to give of itself wouldn’t it – the idea that the only thing stopping Starmer from leaning wholly into an obviously immoral quid pro quo is the width of the A719 And that the person who makes the tough decisions isn’t the prime minister Gillian Robertson is putting together an impressive run at strawweight At UFC on ESPN 67 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines 13-6 UFC) took on Marina Rodriguez on the preliminary card It was a dominant performance that overwhelmed Rodriguez (17-6-2 MMA leading to a TKO stoppage at 2:07 in Round 2 The fight was Robertson's the whole way through "The Savage" lived up to her nickname with a relentless attack on the ground in the opening round where she consistently hunted for submissions while landing big shots on the ground Rodriguez attempted to slap on a choke as Robertson looked for an early takedown Robertson patiently worked her way out of the hold and returned to her aggressive attacks on the mat Robertson postured up and rained down a barrage of punches until the referee stopped the fight which includes a stoppage of Polyana Viana and a pair of decisions over Michelle Waterson-Gomez and Luana Pinheiro The three-time UFC headliner walks away from the sport on a three-fight skid Her last victory was a TKO finish of Waterson-Gomez in September 2023.
