Yup. Union busting tastes disgusting.

Ye Gods. Starbucks is rank coffee. 😫

#PowerChords is a #music-lovers book about growing up through #punk. It calls out for Angels of #Protest to re-energise rock’nroll & challenge privilege & prejudice all over again. Buy at your fave indie #bookshop or here(?) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/183615433...

Something else that has finally melted completely into air is Starmer's record as a human rights lawyer. He has stated he wants to work with the US on their war crimes

My all time fav #cricket song. #TISM we’re truly sublime. youtu.be/x8CZXVFc-1E?...

Boland you so-and-so! Naughty.

They don’t like it up ‘em!!

Thanks Paul. #cricketsky #media

As @thepaulconnolly.bsky.social has pointed out. Khawaja’s statement is a sad reflection on #cricket administration (in UK and Australia) and, more acutely, the #media. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

HNY #cricketsky! 🎉

The #Ashes defeat is not a failure of #Bazball, but the culture of English #cricket that led to it. As #ICEC briefly achieved, the conversation as to why we in the UK are increasingly uncompetitive (and unimaginative) needs to be widened: angrysoutherneroopnorth.blogspot.com/2025/12/beyo...

There is a devastating report in the NYT this afternoon that one the US-destroyed fishing boats washed ashore in Columbia and contained only evidence of marijuana. Trump’s claim that he is saving the US from fentanyl smuggling by Venezuela is a disprovable lie. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

Wrote something today on the wider significance of the #Ashes defeat - might even be decent? Let's see if I can find a 'mainstream' home for it.

Success! ❤️ #crochet #pets

I will probably never see the US again, and I'm not bothered. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/12/26/u...

A Faceache memory to relish! 😂 #BookSky

Why is Farage walking into this? tbh I think it's probably because he actually just outright supports fox hunting. He's the kind of upper-middle-class golf club racist who'd never do the hard yards of farming but quite fancies cosplaying as a rural John Bull now and again

Money from ski resorts is a vital part of cycling's economy. So what will we do when all the snow is gone?

… not many! Has to be said, England’s #Ashes performance has been a horror show.

The #Ashes defeat is not simply a failure of the structure of English #cricket. But an example of how British institutions are run by, and in the interests of, the privately educated. I think (as #ICEC achieved briefly) the conversation needs to be widened: www.suttontrust.com/our-research...

No this is genuinely hilarious 🤣🤣 the AI was like "ok make Nazis, but remember diversity and inclusion!!👍🫡"

This review was written after the last #Ashes debacle. I fear it will remain relevant until the Test / red ball formats finally die. www.amazon.co.uk/Different-Cl... #CricketSky

Brilliant news from UNISON. Congratulations to Andrea. Really well done.

The Pulitzer Board is actually fighting back against one of Trump’s vexatious lawsuits, saying, ‘If you were harmed, prove it — with medical and financial records.’ Not rolling over like some of the capitulating companies we’ve seen. newrepublic.com/post/204475/...

Thanks for the kind words. #CricketSky

In anticipation of another possible #Ashes humiliation. Here’s the book that explains just how long-standing and deep the rot goes and, crucially, what may be done about it: www.amazon.co.uk/Different-Cl...

A 1987 episode of Spitting Image presented a ‘fairytale’ where the greedy Baron #RobertMaxwell gets a version of the Midas Touch where everything he touched turned to shit (ended well for him and the Daily Mirror pensioners). In 2025, the #USA has the greedy fascist #Trump.

It is ironic that I attended what will likely be the last authentic football #WorldCup… in #Russia?! ⚽️ Well played #FIFA 🫣

Whether you are interested in football or not, what is going on here is called capitalism, and it is, and always was, disgusting

Harrison and Graves plan worked perfectly (for them, and a handful of players and coaches). As for the rest of us … #Cricket’s new #elitism has arrived.

Remember how they said the upcoming war in Venezuela was about drugs, and then they seized an oil tanker?

Just finished this old Arena series on #Orwell. Fascinating stuff, but the two Spanish Civil War veterans reuniting in episode three is a real treat. youtu.be/K3UAZB_6bHI?...
