Leeds v Man City: Boos heard during Ramadan pause at Elland Road Boos are heard during a brief break in play to allow players observing Ramadan to break their fast during Saturday's match between Leeds United and Manchester City.

Dispiriting. Still a long way to go.

So nothing to do with promotion and relegation then?

'The mayor must be more ambitious and back control of our region's bus network' Green councillor Toby Wells says metro mayor Helen Godwin needs to deliver "desperately needed change"

✅ As my colleague @tobywells.bsky.social points out, "franchising is such a good idea that it was universally supported by all parties" in the mayoral elections.

❌ But now she is in power, Labour's mayor is dragging her feet.

🚌 We need better buses, not more Labour delays and broken promises.

Controversial way the Greens are tackling Bristol's housing crisis Council leader calls for more Government

It's not that controversial when you read it and understand it...

I genuinely don't understand why promotion and relegation has led to clubs going bankrupt. Is it because there's no equivalent of parachute payments or is it something else?

Positioning himself for leader bit doubt he will ever be it. The Labour party isn't for leftwingers.

Prem: Relegation scrapped as league switches to franchise-style model Traditional promotion and relegation to and from the Prem will be scrapped from the 2026-27 season as landmark changes to the English game are voted through.

Ugh. English rugby union to become like US sports. Promotion and relegation give lesser sides agony and glory. That's what sport is about.

Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard on the Gorton and Denton campaign.
Reform tried to smear our candidate, Laboured tried to smear our policies, but in the end the people saw through it.

Thank you! It turns out my zip has been fixed by my lovely significant other, and we have figured out the kettle. But more things will break, so we'll use this link!

I mean, I could provide a list, but it would obviously not be as long as the one she could provide on me, so I'll keep quiet.

This clip is gonna be getting a lot of use the next few months

Update: Anna, my wife, is incredible.

I asked someone to do this the other day and they went for 11am. I could have hugged them.

The reaction from our volunteers in Manchester! 💚

'The mayor must be more ambitious and back control of our region's bus network' Green councillor Toby Wells says metro mayor Helen Godwin needs to deliver "desperately needed change"

Green Bristol Cllr @tobywells.bsky.social makes a clear case here on how the WECA Mayor has let the West of England down by ‘deprioritising’ bus franchising - despite it being an election promise. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

A salutary graph for anyone with an interest in local authority finance, adult social care and SEND services. And if you don’t have an interest in those things but you aren’t happy about the state of roads, waste collection, libraries and community cohesion - then this is also worth noting.

The people running the Labour party have never been good at anything except lying about their opponents. Unfortunately for them, no one buys it anymore.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social was just asked by Sky what he would say about the result tonight if “I held a gun to your head” - “I would ask you to be less violent” he replied.
Peston just told ITV News he thinks it will be a win for the Greens.
What an amazing, positive and honest campaign 💚💚💚🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸☮️☮️☮️🙌

What Labour leaders of major city regions can do.

Why can't the West of England's?

Tax billionaires out of existence.

Christmas tomorrow, and I might not be able to sleep waiting for what Father By-election will bring.

Where is there one in Bristol? Excuse my embarrassed ignorance...

We might have the first Green MP in the north of England tomorrow morning!

Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.” Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...
