Nigel Farage: ‘Brexit has failed’

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:07:41 GMT

LONDON — Nigel Farage, one of the biggest advocates of Britain’s departure from the European Union, reckons Brexit has failed. Speaking on the BBC’s Newsnight program Monday night, the former Brexit Party leader — one of the most famous figureheads of the Brexit cause — admitted the U.K. had not benefited economically from leaving the bloc.“What Brexit has proved, I’m afraid, is that our politicians are about as useless as the commissioners in Brussels. We’ve mismanaged this totally,” Farage said, responding to a raft of data suggesting there had been a negative economic impact of Brexit. “Brexit has failed,” he added. “We’ve not delivered on Brexit and the Tories have let us down very, very badly.”Asked if the U.K. would have been better off remaining in the EU Farage insisted he didn’t “think that for a moment.”The U.K. economy has struggled to rebound following the triple shocks of the pandemic, ...

As NBA’s security chief, Baltimore native Leon Newsome will guard the pingpong balls that determine Victor Wembanyama’s home

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:07:41 GMT

The 19-year-old Frenchman has whetted NBA appetites like no prospect since LeBron James.As such, the draft lottery that determines a professional destination for Victor Wembanyama, a 7-foot-2 wonder who sinks step-back 3s as readily as he swats opponents’ shots, will be among the most scrutinized in league history.When ESPN’s broadcast of the lottery commences Tuesday evening, on one side of the picture, you’ll see an Ernst & Young accountant handling the envelope that will tell the world where Wembanyama is headed. On the other, you’ll see a taller, sturdier man with a sharp suit and a stern countenance.That’s Leon Newsome, the NBA’s chief security officer.Before he guarded these sacred pingpong balls, Newsome was the second-ranking officer in the U.S. Secret Service, a special agent who had been responsible for protecting Vice President Joe Biden and first lady Laura Bush. Before that, he was a hotly recruited football standout who spurned a...

Celtics can’t take Heat lightly

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:07:41 GMT

Sunday afternoon as Jayson Tatum shut down the doubters — and I’m one of them — a thought crept across the minds of many Celtics fans.Beat LA.Naturally it’s a little bit premature. Not only do the Lakers have to get through the Western Conference’s best team in the Denver Nuggets, but the Celtics better not be looking ahead either. Wednesday night’s NBA Eastern Conference final foe, the Miami Heat, could spoil this party.There’s no question the Celtics are better than Miami. Yes, “Playoff” Jimmy Butler is amazing, he’s averaging 31.1 in the playoffs. Bam Adebayo is a force. And Erik Spoelstra is far and away the best coach remaining in these playoffs.But Victor Oladipo was lost for the season with a playoff knee injury. And last year’s best sixth man/eccentric sharpshooter Tyler Herro, who averaged more than 20 ppg this season, broke his right hand 19 minutes into the playoffs and is extremely unlikely to be ready at any point in...
