caught bowled leg before wicket run out

Bellend’s Palsy

I was a local councillor for a while back in the 1990s. This ⬇️ is true and right. It's unglamorous and hard work. All newly elected councillors need to learn this fast.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan: UK should rejoin EU through an election, not a second referendum. “Inward investment is lower than it would be, trade is lower… In London our economy is about £30bn smaller than it would otherwise be, the average Londoner is about £3,400 poorer because of Brexit.”

Several players that were about to head or kick the ball (in both directions) were impeded before Raya was. Why is it only him who gets protected?

Football has the greatest moment of joy on tap - celebrating a goal - and they chuck it in the bin and swapped it for VAR, to chase a perfection that nobody can agree on.

I’m old enough to remember David Raya being allowed to knock Joao Pedro out cold

Fuck Arteta and Arsenal.

The right decision but ridiculous considering that Arsenal have got to this position through fouling at set pieces

They’re just going to ignore the two fouls on West Ham players before the ‘foul’ on the keeper then?

It never ceases to amaze me how many election pundits don’t understand the dynamics of First Past the Post, and how vote-splitting works under the UK’s electoral system. John Curtice does. Listen to John Curtice.

#OtD 9 May 2012 Vidal Sassoon, "anti-fascist warrior hairdresser" died aged 84. As a teenager in London he fought Oswald Mosley's fascists in the streets with his hairdressing scissors, as part of the militant 43 Group. Learn about the group in our pod: workingclasshistory.com/2020/02/17/e...

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

Bloody hell.

Reform getting very little in Croydon, thank fuck. Apart from Addington, which is oddly divided between Labour and the racists.

I’ve a feeling that this cash in attempt, in the Palace heartlands of *checks notes* Cannon Street, may not be a huge success.

@davematthews2.bsky.social Hello mate, I want to slide into your DM’s but think you need to turn them on?

'summarise the failure of Labour's political strategy in one graphic'

Arguably the greatest album cover which might’ve been completely different had the photographer’s plans to discuss ideas with Prince not been scuppered by a flight seating plan and a night out with Mike Tyson

In a pub toilet in Belfast and a guy just dried his hands by shadow boxing.

Last leg of the Leipzig trip booked. Trains in and out of Munich, sorted. Accommodation paid and match tickets bagged via UEFA.

Volcanic hot take: Reform voters are electing local councillors on (distorted) national issues; those councillors will make their areas worse; those voters will then still blame it on national government.

Sky News projecting a national vote share for Reform of 27%, based on results so far. That’s four points down on what they achieved in local elections last year. Somewhat of a counter to the prevailing narrative. More evidence that Reform appears to have peaked.

My city.

If Starmer had anything about him, he’d fuck off & let someone try to rescue us from this mess. But he has nothing about him, so we’re basically all doomed.

Once again.

A few words for whomever was in charge of the PA system at Palace last night. Thanks for ruining the atmosphere on multiple occasions with unnecessary music at ear splitting volumes. Really ‘added’ to the experience.

Good morning to all the good people in the North East who are going to have years of suffering because they share their towns with racist cunts who voted for a party led by a man who ten years ago campaigned to make them poorer. A funny gif doesn't suffice.

Will they ever learn?!

Fuck Forest.

I'm back on Saturday with a lovely journey of beats and treats. As always, it would be lovely if some of you could join me, for those that can't and fancy a listen, the catch-up link should follow on Monday #TSH www.lovewillsavetheday.fm

Nerves kicking in now.

Reasons recorded for worker absence on this 3,250 year-old ancient Egyptian attendance register include ‘brewing beer’🍺 ‘stung by a scorpion’ 🦂 and ‘embalming brother’! 🤯 From Deir el-Medina, royal tomb worker’s village 📷 by me #Archaeology

Arrived early to vote, and there's a Skoda with steamed up windows in the car park #doggingatpollingstations

Fuck fascists and all that vote for them.

Let's do this!!!

Some scammers from Nigeria contacted the We Buy Records Pod... mistaking us for book publishers. It's now into week 6 of trolling them that we publish niche books....very niche....we diverted them to our author Dr Timothy Mingé at the start of April. They really want his money for a showcase.

New poll just dropped! The only poll that matters is tomorrow. Please vote and if you can - get involved with your local campaign! Some of these seats are going to come to a handful of votes. Replace Labour. Stop Reform. Vote Green. 💚

for a party that records new lows on a daily basis, this truly is a new low

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

Remember Loose Ends? They had a big UK hit in the 80s with “Hangin’ on A String” In May 2025, their lead singer Jane Eugene, a Brit, WAS PUT IN AN ICE DETENTION CENTER (she was visiting the US) She was still being held as of Jan 2026; I can’t find updates, can you? eurweb.com/jane-eugene-...

Meh. Football has been thoroughly miserable since Thursday night.
