Hi @thepwr.bsky.social - not sure who's in charge of scheduling between you and TNT, but isn't it a massive missed opportunity not to have #PWR games on on Friday nights and Saturday lunchtimes during the Men's Autumn Internationals? Missing a post-world cup trick by hiding this great comp away! 🤨

How much trouble is Labour in - and is the PM the right man for the job? Ahead of Labour's annual conference, Laura Kuenssberg asks if the PM is the right man for the job.

No, no, no. It is not the BBC’s job to ask these questions www.bbc.com/news/article...

Things can change quickly in football, eh?

#LUFC

An additional thought is that depending on now you look at it, you could make a case that we were missing 3-6 ostensible first choice starters too. It wasn’t the perfect window but we’ve still got some decent & hard working players who look up for the challenge of trying to keep their shirts. #lufc

This is more fun than not scoring. We love you Leeds

remember it rhymes with Broom, not Rome :D

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

LUUUUUKKKKAAAAASSSS!!!! CONVERTS FROM THE SPOTTTTTTT!!!!!! YEEEESSSSSS!!!!

🤩 ALL THREE POINTS!!!

And we are back!

Very excited to kick start our 25/26 season at Welford Road this afternoon with England hosting Spain in their first #RWC2025 warm-up match.

Nice but slow cycle this morning.

*stands and applauds*

Why someone hasn't created an app which has a live feed of ice-cream vans in your area (and shows them on a map, a bit like uber), is a good example of how our priorities are all wrong when it comes to developing technology.

Yates snatches pink jersey from Del Toro on penultimate Giro stage Simon Yates rode a stage for the ages when he stormed into the overall lead of the Giro d'Italia on Saturday when the Visma-Lease a Bike rider erased overall leader Isaac Del Toro's lead to take the pink jersey on the penultimate stage of the race.

I'd implore everybody, especially if you don't really get road #cycling, to check out the #giro d'italia highlights tonight. Today's what it's all about. Phenomenal stuff. A redemption story you couldn't make up.

Morning @listigeplaylists.bsky.social . I think this is probably the best track I've ever worked on, so thought I'd humbly offer it for the playlist. Suitably melancholy for a cool, still and grey Sunday morning. open.spotify.com/track/5G5hMN...

Labour seems determined to elevate Farage and Faragism- they should stop. And why Starmer is "better"at foreign policy than domestic

In two important ways Labour empowered Nigel Farage and Faragism this week. Both were strategic mistakes. We’ve seen this story before.

New writing from me.

‘We welcome migrants.'

‘We don’t scapegoat them. Low wages, poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of migrants and people who’ve come here'

‘So we have to make the case for the benefits of migration, the benefits of free movement.’

Starmer 2020.

What a charlatan.
