And again

Genuinely think the worst thing about conceding that is hearing Gary Neville’s barely contained glee

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch Spurs get relegated. I can watch West Ham get relegated every four years or so. DO NOT ruin this West Ham. You can go down next year. Have some patience.

Nice to see Chelsea are as annoyed about their recent non punishment as everyone else and deciding to dock their own points out of solidarity #classytouch

I sigh a bit when the FT feels the need to add a ‘yields move inverse to prices’ comment to every bond story. But I shouldn’t: there may be policy makers reading!

Trump cripples fossil fuel production, yet Greta hasn’t sent as much as a thank you card.

Today’s Conservative Party has rejected the cordon sanitaire as it sounds too French.

City are going to get a £115k fine. And awarded costs. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Moscow always looks to far-flung provinces to provide troops for its suicidal meat-wave assaults. If the US Navy can’t open the straits, this request should be viewed similarly.

Looks like Trump’s exit strategy is to walk away and blame NATO.

‘Keep Trident but bolt something onto some Storm Shadows’ would seem a sensible strategy. Not sure ‘build out own Trident’ is.

Also: dreadful comms from Companies House. I'm due to file a Confirmation Statement and the service just gives an 'Access Denied'. No indication of why, when it will be fixed, whether I should go for the pricey £110 mail option, and whether fines for late filing will be waived.

Similarly, the only thing prohibiting me from dating Shakira is my looks, personality, lack of Spanish and our respective relationships statuses. Otherwise it’s a done deal.

This is what happens when you use legacy platforms like ‘boats’ instead of putting oil on the blockchain

LD conference to vote on a party-approved list of animals that *could* replace Winston Churchill

At this point the 16% poll ratings look generous

Unpopular opinion: government cannot do anything meaningful here so would incur a huge amount of debt for little thanks and swingeing cuts later on.

WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE HEDGE ACCOUNTANTS

Dusting off my university maths textbooks to see whether 1/6th is a big number.

It’s good of Sam to have so many supportive pro-VAR replies, if only to compile a list of people for internment when I’m finally made dictator for life

Update: my youtube feed is ruined by the sheer volume of Tottenham fan reaction channels I’ve now watched

Increasingly convinced that this is the one chart that matters and that will explain the next 30 years of domestic politics. Everything else is mere details.

Are the Greens bribing her with kale smoothies or something

The worst part is, I’m still *terrible* at German

Venn diagram between these people and those complaining about ‘interference from Brussels’ is a perfect circle

I see the ‘patriotic’ parts of the press are delighting in a US President having a go at the PM.

It was a busy at work, and in the news, but I seem to have entirely missed that Pakistan appears now to be at war with Afghanistan

Drive To Survive has always been a bit structured reality but this season has so many staged+stilted conversations it feels like Made In Chelsea

Find you a partner who loves you as much as Gary Neville loves to hate Arsenal

The fact that Asterisk FC haven’t had the 115 charges resolved and can still spend like a drunken sailor should really lead to some red faces at the PL.

Unfair: No two countries with a FIFA Peace Prize have ever gone to war. McDonalds can’t say that.

Maybe Labour will get that polling boost if they just spit in the faces of their voting bloc one more time

Labour's swing toward racism is perhaps the biggest unforced error in British political history; burnt their base to ashes and won them not a single vote on the right.

My congratulations to the women of Gorton and Denton on their bigger breasts and enforced intervention-free childbirths.

Excellent. It ruins my day when I don't get an inauthentic expression of politeness from a corporation's AI meat puppet.

HMT is consistently, hopelessly addicted to cliff-edges

Evergreen

If the average royal can't do some alleged insider trading and a bit of light noncing, because of woke, can we even call ourselves a proper kingdom? Country's gone to the dogs.

Uber means today’s youth won’t recognise the 6am post-club regret of choosing an unlicensed minicab

Just throwing it away at this stage

Oh yay the county’s going fash

Restaurants legally required to allow dogs and ban children

RETVRN

Contra the headline, intermittent fasting being as effective as dieting, with only a fraction of the time spent feeling hungry, seems a pretty good result. www.ft.com/content/788e...

I think the science behind a social media ban is highly uncertain - but it’s noticeable that seemingly every commentator on here that has A Very Strong View it’s wrong doesn’t have kids.
