Jury deliberation should be starting any moment now.

I have a feeling we'll have a verdict within a few short days. Just feels like this is imminent now.

Way too low.

Most Election Forecasters will be on the conservative side and that's why it is so low still. I think it should be 66 % or something like that I agree.

Matheson suspended from parliament on a 64-0 vote. All 63 SNP MSPs abstain.

Very odd moment. The SNP successfully amended the motion (on a 68-56 vote), and then refused to endorse the altered motion they'd just produced. It the sort of too-clever-by-half politicking which just looks bizarre from the outside.

Swinney walked out of the chamber as soon the vote was concluded, leaving Forbes to chair the SNP during the subsequent debate on whether to introduce a Westminster-style recall system at Holyrood.

Per the Independent, Lucy Allan is in talks to stand for Reform in The Wrekin, which neighbours her Telford constituency.

I doubt that Mark Pritchard would be particularly happy about that.

Holy hell, I almost can't wait for Season 47. I just wish they'd air Amazing Race 37 this fall instead of shafting their best show into spring.

Surprise surprise the race is a tossup RN (according to polling at least), I think all forecasts coming out will have some variation of 50-50, (conditional on a conviction ofc)

House seems a bit too rosy for GOP though.

All Netanyahu wants now is for Trump to win.

Some of the individual senate races ae weird. Dems better position in Maryland than Washington?

It is slightly lower than I have Trump's chances.

Israeli tanks moved into the heart of Rafah for the first time on Tuesday, despite an order from the International Court of Justice to end its attacks on the city, where many Palestinians had taken refuge from widespread bombardment.
Rafah residents said the tanks had pushed into Tel Al-Sultan in western Rafah and Yibna and near Shaboura in the centre before retreating towards a buffer zone on the border with Egypt, rather than staying put as elsewhere.
"We received distress calls from residents in Tel Al-Sultan where drones targeted displaced citizens as they moved from areas where they were staying toward the safe areas," the deputy director of ambulance and emergency services in Rafah, Haitham al Hams, said
