No stocks and shares guy by any stretch but that seems... implausible?

How about they test it on private school kids, and invest in actual teachers for the disadvantaged ones? Why do poor kids always have to have the shittiest, ‘will this do?’ option?

61% of all political donations in the last quarter came from just 14 people Reform took in £9.3m from a handful of super rich donors British democracy is being bought. We urgently need action to take the money out of our politics

so they won't be playing out from the back any more 😉

You could say they've chickened out

Fuck off.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

@sebsb.bsky.social I see Southampton are excusing Eckert getting an intern to spy on, sorry, *observe* opposition team training as something that's common practice in Germany. Is that something you've been aware of? Eckert says Pep knew when at Bayern.

He's SO good at this. And by 'this' I mean being a decent person.

Here we go again. How is it humiliating to have Peter Mandelson have a go at you? What's next for Keir Starmer then? Recently uncovered footage of Jimmy Saville criticising his Net Zero policy? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

My timeline showing the highs and lows of the Woolwich victory

Yeah, this is well nice. GIVE IT A GO.

Then why am I barred from Pets At Home?

@tftimemachine.bsky.social listened to the two key Basran episodes whilst wheezing through my run this morning. Tastefully done, chaps, fitting tributes to those fallen heroes. The slow version of Shelly added a particular dose of melancholy.

Gorilla Playing Saxophone with Balloons has dropped out of the White House concert

This might be my new favourite Beatles cover. That's quite a claim but this is wonderful.

Sepp Kuss is an amazing rider

In Failing Upward news

By the way, we all saw the comments from the Swedish medical staff and agree Deki is done, right?

You would never hear Gary Neville saying this in a million years. No knock on him, but Sky would simply not allow it. Fair play to RTE.

Just to say I promise I am not talking about people using them for accessibility reasons, I am talking about the perverts, thanks in advance for not assuming the worst about an offhand Internet joke peppered with some truthful concerns about women’s safety

Right, my 'get rid' list from the current THFC squad* in full: Vicario, Dragusin, Bissouma, Richarlison, Romero, Pailinha, Bentancur, Muani, Solomon, Phillips, Devine, Veliz. Two tough ones for me: Richy and Cuti. Richy gives his all but his 1st touch is worse than mine. Cuti's missed 33% of league

Does this all mean we can buy Adam Wharton?

Manager of Crystal Palace wants Crystal Palace to win match and trophy.

More thinking aloud than anything but: I wonder how the returning injured players will factor into our transfers. Which of those returning would be a starter under RDZ? Are the club going to pull the plug on, say, a Kudus if RDZ says he's not a good fit?

Conte quitting at Napoli after failing when asked to focus on more than one trophy, you say.

AGAIN

An absolute joy, today. Grateful to be there and share the sweet relief from a well earned win. The recrimination can sit for another fucking day. Thanks to @forzabahab.bsky.social for putting up with my babbling, man's a hero.

London is like that episode of Star Trek...the tribbles? You open any fucking door and a load of people in box fresh Woolwich shirts burst out.

Today’s choice speaks for itself. IYKYK. Big up @garethevans1975.bsky.social @forzabahab.bsky.social @muswellhillspur.bsky.social @gingerbr.bsky.social tidal.com/track/319277...

Happy birthday Dave Peacock.

Just think, under 12 hours until it'll all be over.

They made an all time classic, rest in peace Rob Base

Ahhhh, that's nice. An athlete who's had an unbelievably tough few years. Chapeau.

Tell me you've not met a club's hierarchy without saying you've not met a club's hierarchy.

So we know now the answer is 'no'. Good stuff.

I've got through a week that was so difficult, work wise, I could have burst. This achievement needs to be savoured for a bit.

At some point people are going to need to come to terms with the fact that the aim of Labour Together was to restore and solidify the party as a fiefdom for pigs, slobs and worms; that it succeeded fully in that goal; and that every person who remains in or affiliated with the party is irredeemable.

Now ask his assistants

Right, closed question: Has Romero gone back to Argentina to watch a football game?

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.

Took advantage of my latest insomnia bout, thank you high stress levels!, too listen to this episode and it is absolutely fantastic.

Yet there you are, outside.

This is mad, absolutely fucking mad. We're being told AI is the future but not listening when they then whisper "most of you won't make it to the future"

They should rename it the Unairopa League

Well done Villa 👏 Hope they don’t make the mistake of sacking the manager, captain, winning goal scorer and chairman. If they do they may come to regret it.

Bit presumptuous
