Latest according to Bev Stohl "Noam has not made significant progress, I’m sorry to say. I doubt he will be able to return to the public eye, as he is not communicating much if at all. At 95, his natural aging process is also a factor. His body is tired. I will continue to keep you posted as I learn more. Thank you all for caring. Bev"

Glen Holden Sr. (Wiki), United States Ambassador to Jamaica dead at 96

Cause of death - anti-freeze in the wine.

Had to dig through Facebook and look through hundreds of tributes to work this out but this is him: Births Mar 1968 (>99%) SUTTON JASON FREDERICK GREENFIELD PORTSMOUTH 6B 831

George Lopez is 63. Here's his weirdest role:

I've seen speculation that Sunak's recent insistance that planes will be taking off to Rwanda by 15th July means he'll wait until at least then to call the GE. I disagree. I'm still optimistic about the chances of a GE being called shortly after the LEs. The results of the LEs are going to be horrifying for the Tories. Penny Dreadful and Kemi Badenough and Honest Bob Jenprick and Suella Depraverman and Granty Twelvenames are all weighing up a leadership challenge after this, to which Sunak will bravely respond by calling a GE immediately. That would be timed so that the election is in early summer. 4th July, most probably. If the election is called this soon, he can still just go hell for leather on the "Vote Tory and planes will definitely definitely be going to Rwanda next week, I promise" line. It'll fail, but Dr Death cares not a fuck; he can piss clean off to Cali with Mrs Death and little junior Deaths and enjoy their billion quid in silicon valley. We won't see him again. If he threatens his MPs with an election purely in an effort to stop a leadership contest, tbh I still think at least Braverman would go ahead and challenge him. I've heard her recently on LBC; she actually sounded quite gleeful at the prospect of a heavy, heavy GE loss; she knows her seat is one of the safest, and she knows this would clear a path for her to grab the Tory leadership and mold what's left of the party to her tastes while they're in opposition. There are too many landmines for the Tories further down the road. Foreign leaders are already starting to ignore Sunak as they know he's a dead man walking, and that'll get worse and worse as the year goes on. They won't want to be about for the Hallet report, either. And if the Rwanda planes inevitably don't take off on 15th July and they still haven't called an election, that'll fuck goodbye the very last shred of credibility he has with that awful, heartless contigent who wants to see the scheme happen. Calling the election so it happens just before all this would frankly be damage limitation.

King Scum. Never was a nickname so fitting

News "articles" that are just an embedded video or audio clip and not much else. No, I don't want to watch your video, I want to read. At least provide a transcription!

I would have imagined a Black Sabbath bench as being placed under an inverted cross, with a plaque warning that anyone who sat on it would die within the year, or something like that.

Providing he can convince me that the claims against him are false, he can come hideout at mine.

@YoungWillz, just found this from 2020. Was diagnosed with a tumour in his ear that affected his hearing and balance.

Oh God not another list of the misses caused by me! I think he might be in one of mybother teams so need to check a bit later. Cheers Will

Apologies for briefly interrupting this very high brow and well considered discussion with something childish. Anyway, as you all were...

Baroness Doreen Massey (wiki), Labour Member of the House of Lords (since 1999), dead at 85. Not a good time to be a member of the Lords, particularly a Labour one (8 of their peers dead in 6 months). Luckily for Starmer, he's about to win an election so he'll be able to stuff the House full of more bootlickers seeing as Tony's cronies are really starting to drop like flies.

Ancient Russian salvage ship Kommuna reportedly hit.

Anthony Williams, prominent campaigner and victim of the Windrush scandal, reportedly dead: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bm3vvs-anthony-williams?attribution_id=sl:e7434f48-018b-4506-9e18-d3c6045bc6a7 A former soldier who served this country, he was left destitute, eating sardines from a can and keeping warm by visiting his local library. He had to pull his own teeth after being barred from NHS treatment. He returned to Jamaica where he died on 29 March. Despicable legacy of this Government.

2 hits in a row that have done nothing to change the endgame! Talk about tension!

You know at this point I'm getting tempted to go down the Trump route and claim fraud in order to save face.

As I suspected, Guardian obit.
