The decline of Salah this season is sad to watch

That's pretty much how I feel

I'm still scarred by their awful soundtrack to "Dune" which achieved the remarkable feat of making a poor movie worse

Good to see the BBC have rebranded their satire "W1A" as "Reform: Ready to Govern?"

Emily Thornberry for PM!

My guess is the EU will be interested in Mandelson's dealings with Oleg Deripaska 2004-7 very soon

More Ratners than Cartier

Brilliant

Boomer steps up. He feels that impulse. I hope the tradition of the rapid-response song (eg Ohio) doesn't disappear

Straight onto the hands of the keeper?

I'm guessing Burnham knew this would be the outcome given the makeup of the NEC, but felt he needed to stand to avoid the " Andy bottled it" tag. He can now be ready for the next time

We are so much better when we play teams who try and attack us. I thought Joe Gomez was immense tonight

So Hegseth is saying " Okay, so that's 12 burgers with fries and Coke. No, ditch the Coke, in fact bomb it, and one Venezuelan President to go"
