I can hear the stump come out of the ground without clicking on the video

There's less than 24 hours left of my 20s. I am drunk, and yet here I am listening to the Ashes on the night bus...

🚨BREAKING🚨 MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union. The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

ROOOOOOOOOTTTTT #Ashes

Jeeez Tuffers nearly gave me a heart attack there... #Ashes

The vibe won't change much in the next month but the details will!

Deezer continues to go far too early with its end of year recap. There's still a month left! Give it another couple of weeks next year, @researchdeezer.bsky.social?

Turns out that they don't always shit in the woods. 👉 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

While Nepal stay put in one city for their #T20WorldCup tilt, Group A’s Associates go on a journey across both India and Sri Lanka 🗺️ More from @tomgrunshaw.bsky.social 👇 emergingcricket.com/events/assoc...

Omnishambles 2 - Tax Rise Boogaloo

"The ICC has warned its members to expect a 30% revenue decrease when the new contract cycle starts in 2028." @rodlyall.bsky.social on the changes the Dutch must make (and others should take note of) 👀 emergingcricket.com/insight/at-l...

It ultimately doesn't bother me if Labour/Reeves have to break their pledge on tax, it would be easy to say "things have got worse globally and we must respond for the long term health of the economy" What does bother me is what's the point of all that ground work if you're simply going to back out

2017! So whilst he was president! 🤯

Yeah it's abundantly clear that all of these proposals have barely been thought through

Today's #Chemsky gripe: I've just read a recent paper, closely related to one I was on last year, published in the same journal and I have not been cited... 😡😡

Depressingly, cynically funny post

Number 10 siding with/accepting McSweeny's hatchet job of Sue Gray is a defining moment in the failure of Starmer's government

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Let's follow in the footsteps of Manchester and Liverpool and make our public transport work for the public!

Did they notice Plaid got more votes than Labour & Reform combined?

I read the headline and assumed this was The Onion 😅

Yeah the poll is a joke but so is FPTP. Imagine being the official opposition on the back of 12% of the vote...

The Clifton Suspension Bridge

Batting 10, for the first time in nearly two decades of junior & senior cricket, I hit the winning runs in a game

Ming Campbell was a dedicated public servant and a true Liberal giant. His principled leadership opposing the Iraq War was a mark of his morality, courage and wisdom. But more than that, he was an incredibly warm and caring friend and colleague. We will miss him terribly.

Literally just been to London at the invitation of the literal fucking King. Fuck Trump. Fuck the USA.

It just straightforwardly *insane* how much political chatter in the United Kingdom is about the next general election, an event that is a long way in the future, and how basically none of it is about 'uh, this policy agenda doesn't look adequate to the scale of the inherited problem'.

Discovered on #ChemSky on Wednesday Discussed with manager on Thursday Purchased Friday In the Library on Tuesday Going to be a very useful resource, thanks @jenheemstra.bsky.social!

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

The Jellyfish has been sacked hahaha finally 😂 Tbf Starmer looking almost as slimy and spineless

In the last 20 days Asa Tribe has scored 677 runs at an average of 338.5! 🇯🇪🏏

Vote Green for bigger boobs? 😂

I know Labour has precendent for governing like this in the 1960s but really who had the way Starmer is governing actually in mind when they voted Labour in 2024. One of the reasons this is so depressing is nobody wanted this, we rejected it in 2024, and got it anyway

My annual performance review did not meet my expectations...

My love-hate relationship with Bazball has been completely epitomised by the last 5 hours... #Cricket 🏏 #EngvInd

No plan is at least better than an obviously dreadful plan

The handball rule makes absolutely no sense. No way that's foul play
