Two weeks ago I wrote a piece about Reform's links to the Centre for a Better Britain, a think-tank that looks poised to introduce our very own version of Project 2025 in the UK. This weekend, Reform further solidified their links to CFABB by making Dr James Orr a senior advisor. Articles Below:

Remember in the Twitter age when Pizza Express was threatened with 'folding' and 5,176 people made the joke about 'so now it's a calzone'. Let's learn from history. Just nominate one person who gets to do the gag and move on.

You see what is happening in the USA. That will happen in the UK if Nigel Farage becomes PM. Because he is Donald Trump's puppet and Nigel Farage will sell the UK to him straight away.

When Aidan Morris does score for Boro, I’m predicting an absolutely unsaveable worldie in sharp contrast to all of his other efforts. #utb

Had to happen at some point. Our forward line need a bit more time to gel, we’re a LOT tighter than last season defensively and it’s still been a very good start to the season. On we go. #utb

A big difference this season, and I still really like the job Carrick did, is we’re willing to change tactics and shape depending on the game and our substitutions can change the flow in our favour. That game was a really good example of our flexibility. Probably would’ve lost that last season #utb

Decent point, Stoke changed shape at half time and found an extra gear, we needed changes to try to get a foothold back in… Two good coaches feeling each other out and no-one able to take a chance. Felt like everyone put their all in. Just lacking the final touch or pass really. Still unbeaten! #utb

Boro looking dangerous throughout that half, quick to adjust to the reshuffle after the early injury. Plenty of good movement, space is there and we’re taking on some riskier quick passes as well as taking the ball on the turn… Probably a penalty as well… #utb

I think the lesson we learn from Sky’s coverage of any sporting event is… Just because you can montage every single thing doesn’t mean you should.

I should not have had to feel so tense on a Sunday night BUT WE CELEBRATE ANYWAY. #rydercup

Sky’s coverage of the Ryder Cup is good, but the commentary team are so lacklustre. The reporters on the course are often MUCH better. They’ve also missed great shots already just to see the walk ons… They make great packages but after a while, it’s all the fucking same. Anyway - COME ON EUROPE.

Really backing Whittaker to come good and our bench has some real game changers on there. Whatever happens today (because Southampton have to start clicking at some point), it’s been an amazing start to the league season.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave. It would make them tens of billions a year. But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

He didn’t come on and shout “Adrian!” at the final whistle but WHAT A SHINER. Nicked the photo of George off Hayden Hackney’s Instagram… #utb

Sol Brynn is a VERY good keeper. Aidan Morris is a natural leader and I love him. Ayling’s found his position. Lots of positives in these first 6 games. The new signings have settled, we’re playing like a team, we’re hard to break down but we still can knock it about. WE LOVE TO SEE IT #utb

THAT WAS A GREAT TEAM GOAL!!! Excellent movement and a rifling finish. AWAAAAAAYYYYY! #utb

We are giving Jed Wallace too much time this half… he’s finding space between Targett and Silvera, looking for the gaps after Edmundson went off… West Brom could be level #utb

Fingers crossed whatever happened to Strelec is just a little knock or a precaution. Price is getting closer… Needs to hold the ball a bit better #utb

Well, a goal from a long throw and a flick on!! Nypan strong and being a tricky menace… Encouraging battling stuff, West Brom at arms length so far apart that half chance early on. Edmundson got the MOTHER of all shiners so that change might unsettle us. Good time for half time #utb

They are attacking the Police again, at the 'peaceful march'. Imagine if Pro Palestine supporters did this (they never do), they would all be instantly in jail.

Nothing to see here. Just a British MP skipping Parliament to fly to another country to slag off the UK and beg foreign politicians & businesses to interfere with British politics. From Brexit to now. All his talk of ‘patriotism’ is utter bull. Farage & Reform UK betraying the country. Yet again.

Something about Man United ruins people. Amorim looks like he might have a breakdown any day soon. Players come in, mostly get worse, then leave and thrive. Managers go berserk and lose the credit they’d built up.

Went to my first Boro match for a bit today. A couple of small observations after watching us live… 1. The noise from the South Stand is fanfuckingtastic. I absolutely loved it. 2. Aidan Morris was superb throughout. An absolute terror and was impressed with his range of passing.

Gutted about this one. A mercurial game changer who saw a pass, a two footed threat and so secure technically. A big miss and I’m not sure we’ll be as effective going forward for quite a bit… #utb

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

Don’t worry Boro fans, I’m going to the game next Saturday so this run is sure to end. And that’s without Sheffield United being winless in three for a classic Riverside reverse. #utb

Sounds like a perfect away performance to me. Don’t get carried away Boro fans. Promising start though. #utb

The other the big thing with this is how normalised some of this behaviour is and how it crosses into news outlets. There is good news and progress out there but it’s overwhelmed by torrents of shit aka The Bannon Approach.

Very clever 👌

The reality of where we are as a club now compared to 20 years ago is really going to sink in this season, no matter how many “putting the work in” Instagram posts the club do. We’re a hard sell to players, we’re making a loss, other teams have much more to spend. Would LOVE to be proved wrong. #utb

SACK EVERYONE. 4-0.

3-0. Sack him before the end. Fingers crossed for Harry Redknapp. AGAIN PATIENCE…

2-0 down. It’s obvious the Edwards experiment isn’t working. Get rid. Appoint Dyche NOW before this season is a write off. Not really of course, be patient, give these lads a chance. #utb

A great Sunday morning read this one

Always proud to have written for this. I made friends that came to my wedding and was part of the team when the fanzine won a national award back in 2005ish… I think I was writing The Barron Nights at the time - dream analysis by our then goalkeeping coach Paul Barron. #utb

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts. The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative. Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

All this 90s Oasis nostalgia flying around and then you watch Top Of The Pops 1998 and it’s Five into Ginuwine into the cast of Casualty into Shed Seven. And Celine Dion was number one. BERSERK.

London is thriving. And the right can’t stand it. They talk down our capital constantly, but the city is measurably becoming a better place to live. 6 facts that shatter their doom narrative:

My brilliant father-in-law is raising money for Alzheimer’s in his 70th year. Boro fans - He’s a Sunderland fan BUT he’s cycling around a few football clubs in the region in one day to raise cash. He’s starting at the Riverside so sling this top fella some money. www.justgiving.com/page/john-ho...

@untypicalboro.bsky.social Ey up! My lovely father in law is doing this thing… Do you know who is a good person to contact at Boro to see if they can promote it/donate something they could raffle? (Yes I have recently married a Sunderland fan) www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/2531249...

The English parts of Squid Games are SO jarringly written compared to the rest of it. I’d forgotten how unbearably stiff and poorly performed those bits are. It takes you right out of the show.

@weezer.bsky.social at #Glastonbury NOW. Bangers from song one. #hashpipe

Wrote a poem about our gorgeous new manager… #utb www.instagram.com/footballerpo...

Just the ten new posts which all seems very similar about the new manager.

Well, the news we’d been expecting for a few weeks is official. I’m not excited but it’s still a decent appointment I think. Will be very interesting to see how we set up and who we sign/sell. Let’s go!!! #utb

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

A classic Southgate performance here would have been a comfortable 2-0 win with players who knew the system and a striker on the pitch for most of the second half.

Genuinely sad. He’ll go on to be a really top coach. Thanks boss.

These miillionaires living in their country estates care nothing for inciting violence in our towns & cities for their own twisted gain. Fabricunt will be gutted the driver was white British. These wankers never learn.
