The tradespeople I know would most likely tell Libby to fuck right off with such a plan.

With clothes so spectacular
And hair perpendicular
You're not coming the Three Legs with me...

The Labour Party is currently:
– Providing intelligence and material support to a right-wing religious ethnostate carrying out a genocide
– Arresting pensioners for holding signs
– Legally classifying a significant portion the public as terrorists
– Attempting to ban trans people from public life

Her Dad was a miner - at Orgreave. Which is presumably why she looks so uncomfortable spouting this indefensible nonsense.

Larkin. Eastwood. Eliot. Lemmy.

I know, I know, it's serious.

View from our hotel. Enjoying Salzkammergut immensely. May revise this view after walking miles in 30C today.

ITV were interviewing a guy who was holding a white flag in the street in early 2024. As soon as the cameraman switched off his camera and they started to walk away, an IDF sniper shot the white guy flag through the heart. The problem here has not been a failure of understanding.

We left Munich this morning and can confirm you have missed the "pissing it down" weekend.

“No one likes us, we don’t care.” It may be rousing on the stadium terraces of south London, as the signature chant for Millwall football club, but as a national strategy it’s a disaster. Even so, Israel has become a Millwall among the nations, apparently unbothered by and impervious to the condemnation of a watching world – condemnation which this week gained serious momentum.”

I would suggest that this slightly underplays the current situation.

"From today's Guardian" rather than "in"

Voila! @gralefrit.bsky.social in today's Guardian - accompanied in the article by the scene that shows him do everything other than actually emerge from the lake

My son plays at U11s. If I did that to him in the nets I'd expect his bat to be wrapped round my head

Well since Maisie insists on uks fjds I can see why Tom is upset. However he can't resort to hkdalsl in my view and I'm sure the Guardian readership will hui34 as well. As you say, 4hfuifh him girl.

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.

Man with a pint of mild in his hand: "you don't get milds anymore"

Lunatic. Mind you, I've had earache all weekend and not gone on about it or been given a medal.

And rightly so. It often sounds hyperbolic to mention The Hague but so many of them should fear going anywhere that respects international law.

‘In taking Palestine Action activists to court on charges of criminal damage, they risk exposing the chasm between government policy and public opinion. It is not terror the government fears, but embarrassment.’

My cousin @tomevanscricket.bsky.social had worked out how many Root needed to "score 1000 while Tom has been in the ground". Amusingly this historic milestone was reached today at exactly the same time the knowledgeable OT crowd applauded England matching India's 1st innings total.

Was at OT. Have lived over that way long enough to be a member but still had to stifle a cry of "Yooorkshire" when he got his century.

I spent today watching Joe Root score 150 and quite frankly it couldn't be any more Friday.

dylan saba @shaabiranks Follow The US defunded the primary UN organization feeding the people of Gaza in Jan 2024 and no one batted an eye. They did it to help Israel use aid as a weapon of war.

This is it: the UN relief agency doesn’t just accidentally get declared a terrorist outfit on spurious grounds, and aid distribution doesn’t unintentionally turn into the opening sequence from Saving Private Ryan. Hundreds of people from multiple countries need harsh jail sentences for this.

This is a great read if you like Westerns.
