Perhaps Christopher Nolan might turn his attentions to Mandleson the movie.

It’s a cormorant right? Well whatever, it posed very well for me today.

Quite a lot near me just as JP and Pascal were passing by. Booing is indiscriminate.

Yes.

Boos at the end of yesterday’s game were really stupid. #bhafc

Brilliant writing 😂

Profile.

What is happening in United States is what happens when coercive powers of the state - arrest, detention, charges - are used as ends in themselves, and not as means of serving justice.

They know the arrests and charges will not stick, but they don’t care.

Intimidation, like cruelty, is the point.

I started Jiu Jitsu about 2 years ago, and now I wonder what else I used to think about. #jiujitsu

Taking in the people who were voted out because they were shit can’t be a good tactic. I mean, the attack lines are so easy now.

Death Squads Execute Second Dissident Or what the US press would say if this was happening on the streets of a "shithole" country overseas

NEW: this is how the US press would report on this if it was happening in a ‘shithole country’. It’s an execution. But it also reveals how weak Trump really is

Looking over there and wondering how we stop it from happening here.

Just over one week to go in this interminable month. We’re almost there lads.

It does raise the issue of bonuses. Much of that was discussed too when the Cunoiffe Review was first published. It’s not perfect, but it’s still a strong statement of intent.

Government unveils biggest overhaul to water in a generation A new once-in-a-generation plan to overhaul the water system and protect households from disruption has been unveiled today (Tuesday 20 January).

The Water white paper is finally published. There’s good stuff in here. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Nice to see the first Gross turn I suppose

Looked ok for ten mins. And then we looked exhausted. Too slow. We should probably do something about all those 34+ players

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰

Full statement from Keir Starmer

Anything from Starmer? 👀

Palace

Yes he is. Look at his stupid little face. Beaming like a child that held his breath until mummy gave him what he wanted.

Photography E-zines…where do I start? Take some pictures clearly, but how and where do I put one together?

Some disparate thoughts on Badenoch vs Jenrick Let's just start by recognising that this is very funny.

When I grow up, I want to write like @iandunt.bsky.social

Honestly sick of it. How can we collectively stop Reform ourselves if Starmer (Labour) can’t?

‘Reform don’t care about working class kids’: TUC slams Nigel Farage for opposing lifting of two-child cap “We know what his real priorities are…Reform don’t care about working class kids or their families.”

I feel sorry for the children who never knew the good times
