A CEO rubbing himself up against one of his senior team at a Coldplay concert is the purest LinkedIn energy I've ever heard of

Have you got to go in for your tea now? Is it time for a little sit down? Cricket is not a sport

Thank god for this, after an absolutely wild week where the commentariat, some of whom can be alright, have completely their lost their baps over the bbc Glastonbury thing and are now straight up gaslighting you as to what constitutes terrorism and antisemitism

One thing that makes me doubt this leaked set list is that no one - not even the most devoted Oasis fan - has ever said 'you know what song I want to hear now? Hello'

Starmer saying he's reforming disability benefit is like Cameron saying he reformed local libraries. There's nothing reformy about it. It's a cut.

They're back with adidas now though. Old style logo and everything

The good thing about them getting through is they currently one of the best ever football kits. Literally an all time great

DAD: I will not be watching Man City play whichever team they're up against today.
KIDS: Wydad.
DAD: Because the Club World Cup is a pile of shit.

β€œBut we start at the City Ground where Nottingham Forest, hungry for points and starved of success, need to find a way past the Chelsea blockade. But will the Blues' greater firepower lay waste to Forest’s Champions League dream? Steve Wilson was there. They also murdered 15 medics in cold blood.”

A party constantly on the defensive, only ever trying to fend off criticism. Never trying to inspire people or muster enthusiasm. Not once. Ever.

I’m not a celebrated political strategist - unlike another Irishman of a similar vintage living in the U.K. - but to putting your weakest position (immigration) front and centre of almost every media intervention and major policy announcement seems like political madness.

Kneecap's manager is the new Mick Lynch. Unbelievable at interviews

I can indeed. We had to record the audiobook before the final book was finished. When we came to final tweaks, decided condemnations but wasn't that funny so we cut it. It was meant to be cut from the audiobook too but slipped through the net

Many said the Starmer era would be just Tory-lite – now it’s worse than that. Time to stop the pretence He’ll be radical, the PM’s allies claimed. Well, look now, as the poor are targeted and ministers boast of wearing Tory clothes better than the Tories, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

This week's column is on how clinging on and hoping for a Labour surge either in terms of popularity or well formulated policy is now for the birds www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Or me. And even if it was, it's the kind of mewling nerdy pissy whingey decision that's taken over the entire game.
