Racism in Britain isn’t just confined to the bloke in the pub or the distant uncle. In just the past months we have seen racism in politics, in media and now at the highest level of ‘the beautiful game’. Not the terraces. We can take the P word on the street, but racism in corridors is systemic.

Nigel Farage said in 2022 that MPs defecting to another party and then refusing to call a by-election was
“no go, it’s not right, it is dishonorable”
So where are the by-elections for all those MPs who have now joined Reform?

David Hynter not reading the room. The fan base is probably split 50/50 on Frank. There's the half that still seemed locked in a delusion and the other half recognising serious flaws in building a competitive squad.

Spurs have been an average team for so long now, despite Kane and Son. However, I am so glad the fans aren't in charge. Some of their suggestions are bonkers - Redknapp, the man who wasted one of the best squads we ever had, Allardyce, Pochettino, Postecoglou, Bill Nicholson from the dead.

Starmer has been a disappointment
Starmer has no credible challengers at the moment
The right wing media are desperate to destabilise Labour so they can immediately campaign for a general election
It's an election which is the best and only chance for Reform to win an election.

The only time I've been to Lourdes we came via a back route and I thought how unspoilt it was. By the time we reached the valley, my goodness it was wall to wall souvenir shops.
Even worse was the spectacle of so many poor, very sick being taken there in false hope.
