I feel physically ill thinking about that OBR cock up, ultimate work nightmare

The OBR removing the leaked budget is just very funny

This is why pushback matters. When forced to actually defend racism they get into a muddle. (See also Tory ILR plans).

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

I, for one, couldn’t have foreseen that Peter Mandelson would be caught up in a political scandal

Can’t imagine loving football as much as Ashley Young does, the discipline and desire to still be going at 40 is wild

Local journalism update: this Reach title is trying to cause a run on the banks.

What this really says is that the parties only favour reform when it’s in their interests. Firmly not in Labour’s interests right now!

Opinion on Labour governments always follows this pattern: The current one is always terrible. The last one was flawed but still Did Some Good Things. The last but one was a True Labour Government.

Find this statement remarkable in its commitment to saying absolutely nothing about what’s happened.

Just don’t see a world where Arsenal sign him. Loses the ball too much for CM, doesn’t score enough for LW (whilst being the wrong profile). Given age there would be minimal resale value.

Whole thing is entirely fucked

There’s very much a fine line between ensuring the public know you take immigration seriously and fighting an election on Farage’s territory. Then of course there’s the broader strategic incoherence of trying to grow the economy whilst leaving it with labour shortages

I think most fanbases are fundamentally quite similar, plenty of decent people, some loons and some dickheads. The one thing about Arsenal fans I notice is a complete lack of fortitude, just mentally weak fanbase who can’t take anything going a bit wrong.

I think there’s plenty of reasons to think we can overturn that result in the second leg. We will need to be very good and a bit lucky but we have what it takes

It’s very funny to me that our season basically comes down to whether Mikel Merino is fit to play in midfield

[turning up to the fist fight with a loaded gun] maybe Americans wouldn't be so obsessed with "seasoning" if they actually had access to produce that tastes of something

Running out far right arguments to shit on British food is quite remarkable

I generally dislike the idea that the aides/politicians are bad but find it truly staggering that anyone who isn’t able to comprehend even a basic explanation of the customs union is anywhere near power.

Tuesday was one of those nights that you’ll never really forget and I am still indulging in all of the content.

PSG are just a lot better than Villa, expect we would find it a really tough tie

The PSG pitch always looks absolutely massive

Can’t get over how good we were last night, just a complete performance. Doing that whilst missing key players and some half fit, is just wild

I would like to see Trossard up front tomorrow I think on balance, think we could do with the extra mobility and fluidity he brings

Genuinely fascinated by her commitment to being utterly shit at her job

Any serious view of how to raise money for the state has to begin with raising income tax for everyone. Though the public has little interest in that

Labour’s welfare reforms are not in of itself a fundamental issue, it’s obvious that the system is badly broken. The brutal cuts, led by HMT to enable them to enact a fantasy pledge on taxes which everyone knew was a fantasy speaks of the inherent lack of realism from this government.

Just ludicrously dominant

I really want to see us experiment with Martinelli or Nwaneri through the middle

If we make it past Madrid, I fancy us against PSG more than I do Liverpool so guess that’s good

I will forever remain baffled that we didn’t do the work on Kvara

Think the idea of Arsenal being boring is quite interesting, as I don’t think how we play would be considered boring 10/15 years ago, it’s in some senses a more refined version of what teams did then. I think it’s more that in general being a top teams tends towards boring football.

I don’t think a midfield of Iniesta and KDB gives you much with that attack.

The Odegaard stuff on the other place is just wildly out of control. Seen someone whose handle is “death to odegaard”

In the final third this looks a lot like teams fighting for relegation, that’s because our attack is that level with the injuries

We really shouldn’t take for granted how much of a golden generation this is for Hale End. Saka, MLS, Nwaneri in the first team with Dowman to potentially follow. Willock, Nketiah, Nelson and ESR all carving out decent PL careers. This is as good it’s been for a very long time

Love Calafiori so much, just an incredibly fun and weird player

Rice and Odegaard have been amazing

That sums it all up

My captain

Nwaneri plays football like we all dream to

I try to be objective about Partey as I just don’t want to watch him play, but it’s just absolutely baffling to me that anyone thinks he’s good anymore. He might be our best option there (personally think that’s debatable) but his physical decline is very noticeable and he’s never been smart

Extremely funny half of football

I don’t really understand saying anything other than A. Whilst you won’t be able to spend it on yourself and as such your quality of living wouldn’t be improved by it over the £100m option you can do plenty of interesting things with the money. Though sadly it’s not enough to buy Arsenal

I struggle to understand how someone so politically inept can rise through a major party to lead it. Just a remarkable reflection on just how much the Tories have eaten themselves

If you allow yourself to ignore the meaning of any of it, this is the funniest government we will ever see

I don't think most people realise how completely our military and intelligence services are entwined with the US. We may well need to become more independent, but it's not something that can happen overnight.

a regular bugbear of mine - when something goes over budget on costs by 50% it's the end of the world, but you can underestimate the benefits massively and people treat it like a success story. Crossrail was arguably built 20 years too late because of these errors

Me when someone asks me where I thought Saka should play most of his career

Whilst Arsenal’s summer is fairly pivotal, the amount of incomings required is probably less than people think. It’s a GK, CB, two CMs and an attacker to ensure we have sufficient depth. Only two starter level players are required in a CM and an attacker.
