VAR got that one right. Great goal.

I always thought Craig Pawson was bad against #LFC but just realised I was wrong

I don’t think it’s inappropriate to have some news stories about migration issues but it is very odd indeed for BBC 6 Music, a station essentially targeted at hipster leftie middle-aged people, to be majoring on asylum seeker stories as much as it does.

I’m not a rail expert, but if HS2 was a capacity issue, did anybody look at how local trains could be taken off the West Coast Mainline and the costs and impact of putting new smaller lines in for them. Genuinely interested if that was an option that was looked at.

Hi, I’m God. Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thanks, God

Loving Rooney looking sheepish next to Virgil 😂

Superb #LFC performance. Everybody stepped up but Dom, Conor, Robbo and Ibou really impressed me tonight. Good to see Flo get more involved too.

Amazing how decisions always benefit Real Madrid #LFC

I want AI to do something for me. I ask it to do it. Then it creates something similar to what I wanted but not enough and I spend ages trying to get exactly what I wanted. Eventually I give up and do it the old way. Is this the future?

I’m very lucky to live in the countryside. But one of the frustrations is when delivery drivers can’t be bothered to come out to you so put in their system that you were not in. DPD today. The only reliable one is Evri and that’s because the regular delivery driver has got to know everyone locally.

Went to the match last night. Took me 3.5 hours to get there because of bad traffic and only just made kick off. We lost and the game was crap. Got drenched in the heavy rain walking back to the car and not home until after midnight. But always great being a #LFC supporter and we’ll be great again

(If I were writing British politics as an episode of The West Wing, I'd have Starmer activate the "Hail Mary" option of saying he'll rejoin the EU in a second term. Re-polarise the electorate along Brexit lines and hope the shifts in demographics/material reality force a winning coalition.)

Pre-season was disrupted due to the tragic loss of Diogo plus we brought in shed loads of players and sold others. It will take a bit longer but we’ll be alright. There just isn’t time on the training ground to sort things right now with games coming thick and fast. But we’ll sort it.

I’m going to Anfield on Wednesday but I hope Slot plays a load of kids and spends the week with the senior players sorting things on the training ground

Loving that the new @stereolabgroop.bsky.social single Fed Up With Your Job is on the BBC 6 Music A playlist. Cheers me up every time I hear it during the daytime when I’m fed up with my job.

@theanfieldwrap.bsky.social I enjoyed the ticketing discussion podcast this week. This would be controversial, but should there be a 10 year limit on having a season ticket? At the end of that 10 years it can be passed on to someone you know under the age of 25 or it goes to someone on the season

12 fair and pro-growth tax rises that Rachel Reeves should consider My post for @labourlist.bsky.social 1. Freeze all income tax and national insurance thresholds until the end of the parliament (though it would be fairer to just raise income tax rates) 🧵 labourlist.org/2025/10/bude...

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Great video this. What a great man Howard Gayle is and was considering all he had to go through to be a pioneer at #LFC youtube.com/watch?v=T31J...

Red and yellow and pink and green, Purple and orange and blue, I can sing the council's over-complicated recycling scheme.

We've set up Great British Energy to generate more clean, home-grown electricity here in the UK — and make us less exposed to volatile global energy markets. What does that mean for you? Let me explain 👇🏻

Milei looks like all the cast of Are You Being Served in one

OPINION: ‘RPD reporting system is hugely adding to pEPR stress’

Erm…HMRC is the revenue and customs service of the Government and isn’t a Labour-only body. Misleading.

They didn’t have MedBeds in Starfleet until well after warp drive was discovered.

Wirtz isn’t physical enough. He doesn’t need to be dirty but needs to learn from Salah about why strength matters

Galatasary’s antics and this ref falling for it is doing my head in

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

Nigel Farage, 3rd September to U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee ● "Free speech is under assault in Britain." ● Free speech laws are "a sledgehammer that misses the nut" because they censor opinion. ●"At what point did we become North Korea?" He asked. 27 days later:

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Hugged a self-described racist jailed for inciting racial hatred at his party conference. Threatened to ‘don khaki’ in the event of Brexit being frustrated. Disseminated the racist lies of an alleged rapist & stayed silent as racists responded by setting fire to buildings full of foreigners.

I wonder if Andy Burnham’s ego is making it harder to get Northern Powerhouse Rail

Interesting to speak to Jonathan Falkingham from Urban Splash on how they helped regenerate Liverpool in the '90s and 2000s - and their grand plans for Festival Gardens

that point could end up being the difference between arsenal finishing second with 81 points and second with 82 points

Two absolutely brilliant goals in that first half #LFC

Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/

The task is to get the government to focus on delivery - increasingly good signs there - and to stand up for progressive values - a work in progress. Conspiring about leadership changes is a waste of time.

Apple products are generally great. But I’d rather they didn’t tell me how long it will take to download the new operating system than give me false hope that it will be quicker than it actually is.

Keir Starmer needs to come out fighting on behalf of reasonable, nice people

Seen a few “I’m not a racist but I was on the march” posts on LinkedIn this morning. It’s depressing. I’d love to challenge them personally, but it is a work site and I don’t want to get into political debates as my job requires me to be apolitical.

Your periodic reminder that nuclear power is not "clean" and it won't "save households money". It is always on and low carbon. You're welcome.

Burnley showed a lot of spirit and defensive discipline but the idea that they deserved a draw is a bit mad. Liverpool weren’t great but, as the stats show, they totally and utterly dominated. And they did what all great teams do - they kept going and ultimately found a way.

Political journalists, right across the board, are treating Farage like a celebrity when they should be treating him like a menace, because that’s exactly what he is. And the more coverage he gets the more his menacing influence grows. So stop it - all of you.

I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who look different. I'm sitting here, trying to plan for Saturday, make sure I don't even need to go to the corner shop for milk, like it's Christmas Day or lockdown. Why? Because I live near where Yaxley-Lennon will 1/

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS

"Who do they think they are?!" A furious @andyburnham.bsky.social on the news that a Reform UK government would scrap plans to build Northern Powerhouse Rail.

Multiple things can also be true at once: - Liverpool might be smartest club in the game - They've cleverly grown to this, and saved PSR for one summer - There's clearly long been an issue with concentration of wealth/talent in football's current system www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Does the UK still have the fastest growth rate in the G7 after today's Q2 2025 data? Not on a quarter-on-quarter basis - the US grew faster in Q2. But if you annualise growth rates over Q1 and Q2 the answer is possibly (2% vs 1.2% in the US). Note: we don't yet have data from Japan for Q2...

For all Jota is commemorated, it’s almost unsaid the champions are coping with grief. No one knows how that manifests There are few comparisons in modern football. It frames the whole season, even if tough to discuss A piece on LFC, football and grief www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ford is developing a "universal EV platform," an entirely new way of manufacturing vehicles, to try to keep up with China.
