'Starmer denies being bad at politics' is a great headline ngl.

Owen's Great Birmingham Run for Cure Leukaemia Help Owen Johnson raise money to support Cure Leukaemia

On May 5th, I’m running the Great Birmingham Run to raise money for Cure Leukaemia - a charity funding crucial research and treatment for blood cancer patients.

It’s a cause that makes a real impact, and I’d be so grateful for your support. Every donation counts!

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

This actually looks like a passable Premier League team. Let's see whether the new regime continues to play substitute roulette though. #saintsfc

How did it come to this? Labour’s journey from landslide victory to β€˜deep unhappiness’ Rachel Reeves’s speech next week is being crafted as a β€˜re-education’ on Labour’s achievements amid gloominess and sinking poll ratings

It's really not that hard. We understand that Labour had a difficult inheritance. It's more that, since taking office, Labour has (it sometimes feels deliberately) stuck its middle finger up at almost everything Labour voters care about. 🧡 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Preliminary thoughts on the German election results so far:
1) Chasing the far right vote by demagoguing on migration has brought the CDU/CSU it's second worst performance in history. It's in first place, but it's a weaker result than anything Merkel posted.

I'm confused. What are we supposed to do now?

Starting to worry for our goal difference, might make the difference at the end of the season.

Turned over to the Leverkusen game in time to see the 4th goal go in. Maybe Sky was doing me a favour.

Nice of Sky Sports to cut off the end of the game. If they don't want the Bundesliga rights, fucking sell them. #bvb

Starmer doing very little to allay my suspicion that he’s three API calls to ChatGPT stuffed into an M&S suit

The gap between the Premier League and Championship is widening every season. We are comfortably the worst Premier League team, but this has been easy. #sainstfc

Don't agree with getting rid of FA Cup replays. It's denying Spurs the chance to embarrass themselves in front of their own fans instead.

Listen, we've all made mistakes. No one is perfect. Maybe some of us have to return to work tomorrow after several weeks off, with mangled sleep schedules about to collide with normy work schedules in just under six hours. Who are we (you) to judge? You don't know their (my) struggles!

Disappointing that my Strava recap didn't include the run when my app malfunctioned and clocked me breaking the 300m world record.
