LONDON — And then there were three. Fresh from a thumping election defeat, Britain’s diminished band of Conservative MPs on Tuesday whittled down the list of people hoping to take them back to power to a final trio: James Cleverly, Robert Jenrick, and Kemi Badenoch. Shadow Security Minister Tom Tugendhat bit the dust after winning the backing of just 20 of the 121 Tory MPs still standing in parliament. But the biggest shock of the day was the surge in momentum behind Cleverly, the former home secretary and foreign secretary once seen as a real outsider in the race who has been buoyed by a strong performance at the Conservative party conference. He won the backing of 39 MPs Tuesday. That’s up 18 on the previous round of voting, and represents a real rally in support among parliamentary colleagues, who decide the final list of two which rank-and-file members then get to vote on. It looks like a proper fight is on for the second slot on the membership ballot: Ex-Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick ranked …

Mophie Launches Juice Pack Battery Cases for iPhone 15 Lineup

Mophie Launches Juice Pack Battery Cases for iPhone 15 Lineup

Published by skeptic

Mophie today announced the launch of Juice Pack battery cases that are designed to work with the iPhone 15 lineup. Like Mophie’s prior Juice Pack cases, the latest version attaches to the iPhone to provide a little extra battery life during daily use. The case comes apart in two pieces so that the ‌iPhone‌ can fit inside, and as the ‌iPhone 15‌ models have USB-C ports, there is a USB-C charger inside that fits right in to the port. The case also has a USB-C port that can be used for charging the case and the ‌iPhone‌ inside. Priority goes to the ‌iPhone‌ when charging, so if it’s plugged in, it’ll charge up first, and then the case itself will also charge. It’s a super simple solution for adding extra battery life to your phone on a long day. The Juice Pack for the iPhone 15 Pro Max that we tested ahead of launch has a 3,000mAh battery, so it’s not able to charge an ‌iPhone‌ to full, but it is about an extra half …

Best boxing equipment brands that pack a punch

Best boxing equipment brands that pack a punch

Published by skeptic

While RDX may be best known for its boxing gloves, the brand is not a dedicated fighting-based equipment label. In fact, alongside its staples for boxing and MMA, it has yoga, weightlifting and strength training essentials too. When it comes to boxing, though, the online retailer includes training punch bags, speed bags, platforms, angle and uppercut bags, mitts, pads and all the above for kids in its offering. Gloves are where the label excels with designs to suit all colour and style preferences, including some attractive patterns for fashion-conscious fitness enthusiasts. If you’re starting to take your boxing more seriously, look to the International Boxing Association (IBA)-approved collection with models that are the optimal weight, design and appearance for entering the ring.
