Oppositions don’t win elections, received Westminster wisdom tells us. Governments lose them. And in Britain’s July 4 election, the ruling Conservatives lost big. After a 14-year governing streak defined by Brexit, a pandemic, and an astonishing period of political and financial turbulence that ushered in three Prime Ministers in just one year, the world’s most successful political party—which since 1945 has been in power twice as long as it’s been out of it—has been shunted back into opposition.

  • Rockies’ Ryan McMahon named All-Star for first time
    Denver Post, Sunday - 07/07/2024 - 06:04 PM

    Ryan McMahon made the quantum leap from local Rox star to major league All-Star. On Sunday, the Rockies’ veteran third baseman was selected to the National League All-Star team for the first time. He made the team as a reserve via the players’ vote. “It’s a cool honor,” McMahon said. “For me, personally, getting voted in by the players is the biggest honor you can receive.” McMahon will be Colorado’s lone representative in the Midsummer Classic on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

  • Rockies offense, bullpen falters in rout by Royals
    Denver Post, Sunday - 07/07/2024 - 05:33 PM

    The final line won’t show it, but Tanner Gordon nearly worked a storybook outing in his MLB debut. There was no sugarcoating a dismal day for the Colorado Rockies offense and bullpen, however. Brady Singer quieted the Colorado bats, and the Kansas City Royals avoided a weekend sweep Sunday afternoon at Coors Field with a 10-1 victory in front of 32,180. Gordon pounded the strike zone, which helped him work efficiently but may have also cost him a quality start.
