Tory mayor Ben Houchen bucks the trend on dire night for Rishi Sunak – POLITICO

Tory mayor Ben Houchen bucks the trend on dire night for Rishi Sunak – POLITICO

Published by skeptic

The Tees Valley mayor is a strong ally of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who recorded a video endorsement. His victory back in 2017 and re-election in 2021 was seen as emblematic of the Tories’ ability to win seats in former Labour strongholds dubbed the “Red Wall.” Speaking Friday, Houchen said he was “absolutely humbled” by the result. The re-elected mayor ran a personal campaign that pushed the Conservative brand to the background. But Houchen denied distancing himself from Sunak, telling Sky News: “We absolutely don’t shy away from that at all, and Rishi’s been up during the campaign and we have always said Rishi’s been a great friend to the people of Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool.” Sunak will ‘go on’ The results come amid poor local election results for Sunak’s party across England. By early afternoon Friday, the Tories had shed more than 100 councilors and lost key former strongholds including Rushmoor and Redditch. Labour gained dozens of councilors and retook councils including Thurrock and Hartlepool, the latter of which is located in the …

Bucks media manager One Media iP posts growth for 2023

Published by skeptic

One Media iP, a digital media content owner and manager, has shown growth despite ‘challenging conditions’ for the year ended 31 October 2023. The Buckinghamshire business grew its revenues five per cent last year to £5.4 million. It made investments of £2.1 million, two thirds of which went towards new acquisitions – including a share of the Entertain Me catalogue, with songs by Gloria Gaynor, The Drifters, Louis Armstrong, Don Williams and James Brown. There was also continued investment in technical copyright analysis tools (TCAT). And last September, One Media iP renewed its distribution deal with The Orchard, securing a million-dollar advance. CEO Michael Infante said:“The founding principle of deriving profitable income from music copyrights continues to be our prime focus. “Given our ongoing investment program into TCAT after consultation with advisers and significant shareholders, we’ve continued to grow our revenues from music rights, delivering a robust set of results despite the challenging conditions presented during 2023. “The trajectory for the music industry remains positive and music rights as an asset class continue to prove their …

Pacers Hit Franchise Playoff Best 22 3-Pointers to Beat Bucks 126-113 and Take 3-1 Lead in Series

Pacers Hit Franchise Playoff Best 22 3-Pointers to Beat Bucks 126-113 and Take 3-1 Lead in Series

Published by skeptic

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana center Myles Turner found a simple lesson from last week’s Game 1 loss. When you find the openings, take shots without hesitating. Turner effectively put his new strategy to use Sunday night and it worked perfectly, again. He had his second straight 29-point game, finished with nine rebounds and four assists and made seven 3-pointers as the Pacers broke the franchise’s NBA playoff record with 22 3’s to beat Milwaukee 126-113 for a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. “After that first game, we watched a lot of film and I saw some of the holes in the defense and realized there were open shots we could exploit,” Turner said. “A lot of it is read and react, which is pretty much what our whole offense is.” He has produced playoff career highs twice and on a team of sharp-shooters Sunday night might have been the best. While Indiana went 22 of 43 from beyond the arc, Turner was 7 of 9 and even heard his name chanted by fans who …

Bucks’ Lillard Has MRI, Team Awaiting Results Before Deciding if He Plays in Game 4 Vs. Pacers

Published by skeptic

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Damian Lillard underwent an MRI to determine the severity of his Achilles tendon injury, and the Milwaukee Bucks could be without the star guard for Game 4 of their playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, coach Doc Rivers said Saturday. Lillard greeted reporters as he strolled through an Indianapolis hotel wearing a walking boot on his right foot, but he did not take questions. Officially, Lillard and two-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo are both listed as doubtful for Sunday. “We don’t know yet. Not looking great but we don’t know yet,” Rivers said when asked about Lillard’s status for Sunday. “They’re going to give us the test results soon, so we should know a little later today.” Milwaukee was 1-8 when Lillard didn’t start a game in the regular season. Lillard was clearly limping at times during the Bucks’ 121-118 overtime loss at Indiana on Friday night. The eight-time All-Star twisted his left knee when Pacers forward Pascal Siakam stepped on his foot in the first quarter. He stayed on the ground …

Elite force bucks trend of Ukrainian losses on eastern front | Ukraine

Published by skeptic

Fifteen miles east of the garrison town of Lyman, a desperate fight has been taking place on Ukraine’s eastern front for months. The once verdant Serebryansky pine forest has been reduced to burnt-out stumps, reminiscent of images from the Somme, destroyed amid Russian attacks aimed at eliminating Ukrainian foxholes. Fearful that the frontline could crack last summer, Ukraine’s commanders deployed the Azov infantry brigade to the sector. Their task was and is to repel what “Maslo”, a 29-year-old staff sergeant with the unit’s first battalion, described as “constant assaults, every day, sometimes for 24 hours”. Occasionally the brigade makes dangerous counterattacks on foot. Maslo, the master sergeant of Azov’s first battalion, says that Ukraine is severely outgunned by Russia on the frontline. Photograph: Julia Kochetova/The Guardian Poor visibility, perhaps 30 metres where the wood is thicker, and a mismatch of equipment makes the fight harder. Maslo, whose call sign translates as butter, described a “more or less stable” artillery mismatch of five to one in favour of the Russians, though he believes it is closer …

Khris Middleton Joins Antetokounmpo on Bucks’ List of Players Dealing With Injuries

Published by skeptic

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton’s status for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series with the Indiana Pacers is uncertain after he hurt his ankle in the last game and didn’t practice Thursday. Middleton was limping in the first quarter of the Bucks’ 125-108 Game 2 loss on Tuesday and briefly went into the locker room, but he returned after getting his right ankle re-taped and ended up playing 36 minutes. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Middleton didn’t practice at all on Thursday and was unsure of the three-time All-Star’s availability for Friday’s game in Indianapolis. “It’s another holding-our-breath situation,” Rivers said. “Honesty, I don’t know.” The Bucks and Pacers are tied 1-1 in the best-of-seven series. Middleton has averaged 19 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5 assists through the first two games. Milwaukee already played the first two games of this series without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who also missed the Bucks’ final three regular-season games after straining his left calf in an April 9 victory over the Boston Celtics. …

A specialist supplier to F1, automotive and aerospace sectors based in High Wycombe has purchased its first Bruderer press at the MACH 2024 manufacturing exhibition. Alan Spargo, which celebrates 50 years in business in 2025, bought the 40-tonne machine to provide its customers with the option to test tooling solutions at high speed before they go into production. The technology offers up to 1000 strokes per minute at precision accuracy and will support the High Wycombe firm’s desire to increase sales past the £3 million mark this year. Specialist tooling from Alan Spargo has been developed in just six weeks to run on the Telford-based company’s BSTL 350-88 high speed press, the first time it’s ever been run in the UK.
