Allegations. Accusations. Litigation. Cheating?

The 'ball-waxing' controversy and fallout from the recent World 9-Ball Pool Championship continues to rumble on.

We try to summarise what it's all about here 👇

paul-NewEngland @paul-newengland.bsky.social Renewables only work 5 days out of 10. Capacity Factor (CF) less than 50%. If you don't know what Capacity Factor is, you should never utter another word about renewables. If you want power 24x7x365, wind and solat won't do it for you.

Hilariously, this is a classic misunderstanding of capacity factor. Perhaps he should take his own advice.

Critics say Starmer is no Attlee – and they’re right. Labour must look to the future, not the past | Martin Kettle All Labour leaders live in the shadow of his postwar triumphs. But he wasn’t perfect – and didn’t face the challenges of today, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettle

"All are measured against Attlee, not least Keir Starmer, another self-effacing Labour leader who seems good in a crisis and in whom admirers perceive hidden depths that are rarely shared with the public."

Flying the Harborne and Bearwood flags…

A map. Title at the top of the map reads Harborne Village 1834. Compass in the top right of the map and a scale at the bottom. A series of lines running throughout the map identifying boundaries between plots of land and thoroughfares. The centre of the village in the bottom right of the map with text identifying the parish church. Prominent farmsteads highlighted on the map.

#MapOnATuesday - This 1834 plan of Harborne Village, scale [1" : 1600']. Part of the Hardwick Collection - documents relating to the Harper family of Harborne and to aspects of Harborne history. Ref: MS 760/75 #LibraryofBham #Harborne

On the Harborne Comminity Facebook group, certain Harbonites have boasted about dumping their rubbish in Bearwood bins. We have applied to the Birmingham embassy for them to be extradited to Bearwood, where they will be placed in the village stocks, and pelted with empty Monster energy cans.

What time period did you live through? In 2016 Tory Cameron was totally instrumental in losing the Brexit vote.

No.

Gnashing of teeth over Corbyn's luke-warm EU support was always over-blown scape-goating. In any case, the new party isn't just a Corbyn vehicle. It's a democratically-driven left-wing party. And a majority of members are almost certain to be pro-EU, as they were in Labour under Corbyn's leadership.

He was pushing for Remain but the right wing fascist Establishment distorted or ignored his stance on this and many other of his proposed policies.There will be no repeat of the disparagement of socialism on my timeline so I'm afraid you're going in the bin.10 years of X nonsense not welcome here.

The first 6 Reds of the season, members get your entries in.
