This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

Totp 98 just seems to be a medley of karaoke. But instead of singing, they're talking through covers. Awful. What a desperate period

This is sad to see. Even though I haven't watched it for ages, it feels like the end of an era

MTV to axe UK music channels after almost 30 years

After almost 40 years of airing music videos, MTV will stop showing rolling videos when it closes five channels at the end of the year.

I was fond of 'Poco' when he was at #WBA.

He was curious about the game, spoke well (in a 3rd language), open to new concepts. He loved Birmingham's diverse population/communities. It was clear he was broad-minded, with a want to learn & adapt.

Good to see him doing well

Sebastien Pocognoli heading to Monaco it appears. An immense job done after guiding Union to the title and into the Champions League. A big blow for them, but no doubt they've already got Plan B C and D sorted.
