Genuinely one of the best debuts I’ve seen in black and white. A great value signing by Rafa at a time when you-know-who counted literally every penny. A fantastic shot stopper and a seemingly decent bloke. Best of luck.

Nearly as good as Amble… I read about Tino signing (sheepskin coat and all) from Australia. Watched his Boro debut in the bar in a backpackers at Cape Tribulation of all places. Not the greatest omen for what was to come. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Robert Jenrick's Honesty-Dodging That someone as dishonest and hypocritical as the Shadow Justice Secretary was not long ago shamed out of public life is a damning indictment of the state of politics and media in the UK

Ordinary people "feel like mugs" for paying when others feel they can get away without doing so, says Robert Jenrick, who was found to have falsely claimed Β£122 in travel expenses, and used his own office to help a Conservative donor avoid paying Β£45m in tax www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

As a Newcastle fan, @spencervignes.bsky.social’s Postcards from Santiago is a superb read. I found Chile easier to imagine from my sun lounger than my home on Tyneside!! Thanks Spencer, I knew far too little about this true Toon legend. ✊ #nufc

Farage: "Lucy Connolly should not be in prison... Understand, there were millions of mothers at that moment in time after Southport feeling exactly the same way.

Connolly was imprisoned because she posted:

β€œSet fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Isn’t the real question here why anybody is asking the opinion of the father of a former Prime Minister?

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.

The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

On his own social media platform, and without providing any evidence to back up his claims, Elon Musk indicates the skies over America are deeply dangerous for air travelers. And, of course, that his company - quite by chance, you understand - will be filling the breach.

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

🧡"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Just went back to the Musk hell site hoping to use a chrome extension (Sky Follower Bridge) to find all the people I followed over there on here and this is what’s going on on the desktop sign in page. Over and over again. Totally normal.

Hi Jazz, any comment to make (maybe with accompanying photos) about Declan Rice losing his head tonight and running round trying to hurt people?

β€œBelieve it or not, there are ways to play the game that don’t rely on consistently endangering other professionals.”

Don’t quite get what you mean but you’re at a massive advantage to us in all sorts of areas so I’m not expecting us to compete every single day. Spurs should win more from a position of strength, that’s my point.

Still, we’ve reached a final and in a good position for another, played in CL (should have qualified for the 2nd phase), generally play good football, building the academy, plans for new training ground and stadium, growing revenue, trying to outsmart PSR. So not all bad.

Not as close as I’d have hoped to be honest. But if you compare our takeover to City’s, they spent freely from day 1 (Β£1.5bn in first 10 years), started from a higher base (10th in 2008/09), could attract players easier to big city and had wider net for their academy. Still took 4 yrs to win the PL.

Come off it, we were bottom of the league when we signed Guimaraes after decades of mismanagement.
