Good work, chap. Are you going to add the other Liverpool players that missed big chunks of the season (eg Jota, 15 games), or do you want to keep it as bias and unbalanced as possible?

Well, this is a take. Demonstrably untrue. Could any other team have won the league with their first choice GK missing 10 games? If your squad isn’t big and deep enough how is that anyone else’s issue, let alone the league champions?

Carlisle’s penalties were awful though. I reckon you or I would have saved two of them…

The bane of my life. Them and bloody squishmallows!

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

Either way, seems daft to me to specifically support one small organisation at risk of arrest, when you could just have protested peacefully and shown support for Palestine…

My point here is that I don’t know whether they are a non-violent organisation or not - I’ve not seen any evidence. The Home Office apparently has seen evidence that their actions have been violent (hence proscription).

I wonder what the narrative will be if the courts find that the govt was acting within the law to proscribe Palestine Action? I’m guessing likely deafening silence rather than thousands of people putting their hands up and saying “I got it wrong”.

I had beans on toast for brekkie this morning. Plenty of chilli powder and cayenne as well as Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. No cheese though - think I missed a trick.

LFC’s best players for non-penalty goals and assists per ninety since the start of the Klopp era (minimum 7k minutes):

Salah .86
Jota .76
Nunez .74
Firmino and Mané .65

If your flops do this, you’re doing alright.

The same group put out a report in May saying it was £60bn, so the Govt are clearly doing a fantabulous job by reducing the “black hole” by £20bn in 2 months.

Or the NIESR don’t actually know what they’re on about…

I see NIESR is talking today about a £41.2bn hole in the UK public finances

Two things are newsworthy:
a) NIESR is an outlier
b) It’s last forecast (May) had a £60bn ish hole

Does that make it good news for the chancellor today, then?

What the fuck is ‘stand by my socialist principles’ Jeremy Corbyn doing writing in The Torygraph and why is the Torygraph listening?

I’ll tell you why. He’s doing a piece slagging off Angela Rayner (Labours most popular minister) and the Telegraph are lapping it up.

Sickening hypocrisy by both.

You’ve done good. He’d be proud. Now go and have a glass of wine.

Do you really think that would work though? They’re a nothing party with no policies. Should they get into power I’d be amazed if they last the term, let alone longer.

1. They won’t win in 2029.
2. Even if they did, they’d do exactly what every party in power so far has done - why would you change the system that allowed you to govern?

@simonpegg.bsky.social “is it too late to say you’re sorry” for this joke?

Trump’s Name Is on Contributor List for Epstein Birthday Book

Where the f**k was all this reporting from the Times & the Journal on Trump & the world’s most famous child rapist in 2016, 2020, & 2020? Where were the effing Dems & their oppo research? How on earth has it taken this long for this stuff to come out?

Sorry, what exactly are YOU doing about it other than complaining that other people aren’t doing enough? Will you be sleeping tonight?

Ok. But please tell me how you can actually implement this without spending (and risking) billions by re-writing the existing tax code…?

This is the section of the electorate I have the least amount of time for. Their persona is to be outraged, to be against something, to fight for the mythical perfect government and world that will never exist. A Regorm government would be a gift to prople like this.

It’s about saying “we have a plan, but you have to see and understand the bigger picture. What are tough decisions now hopefully put us in a position to fix the whole system and have the country in a better place by 2029.”

It’s a tough story to sell, but at some point you have to change things!

To be fair, that rebellion didn’t whack a £5bn hole into their spending plans. For which none of the rebel MPs have offered any solutions. Lots of decisions are wrong, but you don’t complete a marathon without actually moving. Change actually means change, and it’s not always pleasant or easy.

Following on a conversation from 6 months ago… they’re opening in Sept!

Since my post on Reeves yesterday many have said she’s the same as the previous Tory Chancellors. Here’s a list that says she’s different and focused on the 99% and not 1%

Excellent. Do it then. I could tell you why it won’t work, but it’ll be valuable for you to learn.

I was a huge Vault City fan until they started just bunging loads of sugar in their beers. They still do some good ones though.

You’ve got a couple of absolute bangers there. Some less so. Still be a cracking afternoon/evening though!
