You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

Analysis: Chelsea FC appear to be seeding the idea in the media that the club should receive a financial penalty if found guilty of 74 FA charges. That would be no penalty at all.

People say the BBC lack flexibility in the modern digital era, but the launch and roll out of their 24 hour Charlie Kirk News channel in a matter of hours was pretty impressive.

Surprised me slightly but my year 11 came home yesterday and said that everyone was talking about this at school. She knew who Kirk was as she’d seen his videos on her socials.

"At least we live in a country where you CAN lose a high powered job for being good mates with a notorious child trafficker and sex offender" is a thought I just had in all seriousness, which is further proof that the bar has sunk so low that it's basically merged with the Earth's molten core

I don't think it is callous of me to observe that it is weird to see the PM of the UK, the leader of the Opposition of the UK, and the ex UK PM all putting out solemn and devastated tweets about the death of a podcaster who is only a big name if you're constantly on Twitter

Following Farage’s announcement that he plans to make “serious cuts to the welfare budgets” if he wins the next election, I’ve seen this claim being repeated from last year’s headlines again. So let’s take a look at the the reality rather than the weaponised version 🧵 1/21

An energy economist once told me that he was very enthusiastic about wind and solar energy supply because it was much harder to use for corrupt and political purposes than oil.

I’ve completely gone at the “merciless lover” line in this. A lover going about their work with the grim determination of a mediaeval torturer.

Just want to be clear here, I’m very much pro-Farke after this. Can’t complain and sack him in October if you fail to give him the resources you agreed to.

Leeds United deal for Harry Wilson didn't get done. Fulham change of heart at last minute scuppered deal sheet chance. That's that for the window.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the Harry Wilson deal won't happen. As of 5pm he's still in Cardiff with no clearance from Fulham to travel. No idea how long it'd take to fly to Leeds, travel to Thorpe Arch and undertake a medical but I doubt you can do all that in under 2 hours.
