Interestingly enough, the usually libel happy Dan Wootton didn't sue @bylinetimes.bsky.social, when they broke the story about him allegedly catfishing male colleagues.

He also kept quiet on @privateeyenews.bsky.social reporting that his ex-employers funded anonymous victim counselling afterwards.

It’s terrifying what we are witnessing in El Fashir. The UAE backed RSF encircling the city to starve and exterminate people, while the so-called intl. community treats the UAE as a peace broker.

Crystal Palace have become an easy target in a crisis of football’s own making Comment: Palace’s demotion from the Europa League to the Europa Conference League is a mess that only highlights football’s failure to regulate multi-club ownership

Very little about Uefa's decision on Crystal Palace makes sense - right up to the Uefa president's own comments on the rules

Senior football genuinely say it's different with the big clubs
