A terrible look for Ipswich Town FC ahead of the 7 May elections. There have been reports that this wasn’t an official visit and instead Farage booked onto the stadium tour to fake an official visit, but a dressing room full of Farage shirts looks more organised. Either way Ipswich need to clarify

I get annoyed by book reviews that only summarise the book's topic and neglect to assess its quality. The Times this week has gone a step further by having the author himself write that summary.

It's-a Mori time. 🔵 We made a thing. The Super Mori Bros fan tee is now live in the BRFCS store — bold, colourful, and very much Rovers.

Blackburn Rovers Super Mori T-Shirt
Pay homage to Ryōya Morishita in the most heroic way possible. This fan-designed tee takes the most iconic logo in gaming history and gives it a Rovers twist — bold, blocky, and unmistakably BRFCS. Wear it to Ewood, wear it to the pub, wear it on the couch.

This was the hardest speech I've ever made, speaking about my own experiences of our justice system in opposition to my own party's proposals on courts. Very grateful for all of the gentle and kind responses, and hope I have given a voice to other survivors who feel as I do without my platform.

De Neve on the left and that flank feels wide open for Oxford. Big Tronstad shaped hole in front of the back three. Alebiosu still missing that attacking intent.

This can be the site for breaking news, if journalists choose to break news on it. It is as simple as that. And that is not utopian. It is precisely what has happened the last week or so. If you weren't on BlueSky, you were late to each development.

It is worth recalling that the position of U.K. Ambassador to the US was not vacant at the time the Prime Minister chose to appoint Peter Mandelson to the role. A highly competent and respected woman was replaced.

I convinced a lot of people to invest their life savings with me except I used all their money to buy myself a leather jacket and a jukebox that only works when I hit it. I’m now being investigated for running a Fonzi scheme.

This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
