Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

I met Wes Streeting when we were both at university. It was apparent then that he had the mad-eyed desire to be Prime Minister. That is precisely why he absolutely should not be.

Tottenham 1-1 #LUFC: Why stop now? After weeks of this being hailed as a nailed on Spurs win, enter Leeds in our most devilish of end of season moods: we’re only here to spoil yer party. by @robconlon.bsky.social thesquareball.net/leeds-united...

Why does the UK keep inventing these impenetrable and arcane processes for selecting a leader when "Bake Off" already exists.

If anything, the British English version should be "stoliday".

Should Ed Miliband somehow end up in Number 10, I'd really want his first speech as PM to begin: "Right, who's ready for some REAL chaos?" #ThePolitics

This has already made my morning, hearing about Dutch town planners taking inspiration from Stevenage on cycling infrastructure.

Civil society is gonna have to start punching back at the far-right bullies in politics and the media, and a big part of that is having a government that gives people confidence that it will side with them as they stand up for social liberalism rather than try to appease its political enemies

Chris Mason is in full snivelling ideologically loaded effect on television right now, coming across as some ungodly cross between 'Orrible Ives, The Childcatcher and the Spitting Image puppet of Gerald Kaufman.

There's a new episode this morning of @grindrod.bsky.social's Monstrosities Mon Amour, which cheers me greatly.

Um, West Haaaaaaaaaaaaaam's fate wasn't in their hands to begin with, and wouldn't have been irrespective of the result last night. Spuds winning would have made it more precarious, certainly - but they're still relying on Spuds to drop points. #TheFootball #Insight

de Zerbi: a character all right (in The Square Ball's bowdlerising use of the word) #lufc

De Zerbi “I hope that Leeds play like that against West Ham.” He’s gone full Keegan. Never go full Keegan

"Spurs failed to win. Leeds MUST be deducted points" - every pundit right now, probably #TheFootball

Good. Now win it. #lufc

Sky's commentators and various live bloggers have just wanked themselves into a coma. #lufc

Summon the spirit of this, lads - it's the Leeds way. #lufc www.skysports.com/football/new...

DEAR RESTAURANTS: Your servers are not volunteers. If you can't afford to pay them more than 2.13% of what you charge, you can't afford to run a business. Thank you!

Really want to beat Spuds tonight and Leeds post a pair of flip flops with the match result. #lufc

Slightly increase a band: R.E.L.

Aside from pride, there are about two million reasons per place why Leeds - and indeed any notion that teams safe from relegation - are not, and will not be, 'on the beach'. #lufc

You can’t be at the heart of Europe with those red lines. You can’t be at the heart of Europe without freedom of movement. Starmer is simply lying about this.

Damn it. I don't think I entered the SuperValu loyalty card draw this month. Although the question might have been too difficult.

Today's #Connections has a very unexpected group of red herrings.

Obviously not to steal your thunder, but my own punk diaries which are definitely authentic and everything reveal so much about the times. What times they were.

Where do they find these people? My mum's 76 and perfectly capable of using a credit or debit card.

Barry the Shark for Prime Minister.

Didn't he do this already? More than once? Approaching the same number of times said as "my father was a tool maker". #ThePolitics

The commentariat seems to expect a Spuds win tonight, given Leeds are safe, so somehow won't try. If Leeds played West Ham tonight, with Spuds in peril, they'd be bleating about "the integrity of the competition" and want points deductions if Leeds didn't give sufficient effort. #lufc

Crazy that we rise to 14th if we beat Spurs - 13th if we absolutely tan them. #lufc

My pal Paul points out that the penalty shootout earlier between Rochdale and Boreham Wood pitted Oliver Whatmuff against Ted Curd. “It’s as if I’m playing Football Manager on a ZX Spectrum and I’ve renamed the players myself”

Every time I buy the results of the latest grotesque experiments from the Percy universe that M&S sell, I always imagine the horrors of their own island of Dr Moreau in a huge facility in Kent.

Sitting next to Pep for two years is *precisely* where Arteta learned how to make over-thought, logic-confounding team selections in games of critical importance. #TheFootball

But the important question is: is Danny facking Dyer there watching? #TheFootball
