Emerging from the Boris investigations bunker and looking at the deputy leadership which suggests things might be looking up for Starmer.

If there was a candidate challenging No10’s direction who was uniting all Labour’s worried MPs then he would be in big trouble. So far that’s not happening.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social the Dennis Morris exhibition is absolutely fantastic. The photos of Marley and bands like the Sex Pistols are of course iconic. But I was even more
impressed by his many affectionate and insightful photos of black and white working class life in 1970s England.

Her name was Diana. She was 23 years old and 7 months pregnant.

I’m no fan of the Clearlake “project”, but this was by far the best Chelsea performance under Maresca.
Chelsea stun PSG to win Club World Cup after Cole Palmer’s cool double
Chelsea stun PSG to win Club World Cup after Cole Palmer’s cool double
* Final: Chelsea 3-0 Paris Saint-Germain * Palmer 22 30, João Pedro 43 The boy from Wythenshawe who had sat on top of the Rockefeller on Friday took Chelsea to the top of the world on Sunday. It was 90F down on the pitch in New Jersey but, oh, this was cold all right. Two wonderful almost identical strikes, executed with an effortless ease, and a lovely soft-shoed assist from Cole Palmer made Chelsea the first winners of the 32-team Club World Cup, history made here. Paris Saint-Germain had seemed peerless, a side that shifted the paradigm, but they could not find a way past Robert Sánchez at one end and were picked off, victims of a perfect plan, defeated inside half an hour. It had started so well, so unexpectedly, and it ended even better, history made. “We know that they start the games very fast, very strong,” Marc Cucurella had said but while Ousmane Dembélé, forever on the prowl for prey, almost caught Sánchez 95 seconds in, it was Chelsea who did so. The first chance was theirs inside 10 minutes and it was so close that some of this stadium celebrated, the ball bending just past Gigi Donnarumma’s right post and hitting the pole holding the net up. João Pedro had teed it up, Palmer was the man whose shot with the inside of his left foot fooled them. Not for long. That, it turned out was just a sighter; next time, the MetLife could let go for real. Continue reading...

The Wembley acts all look like they were having a great time, as was the London audience. The Philadelphia concert seems like a much more laid back affair in comparison. #liveaid40

40 years ago the young cynical me thought most of the Live Aid performers looked old and passed it. Now I’m thinking how young they all looked and how many were at the peak of their careers. #liveaid40

Thoughtful article by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social on the UK Supreme Court judgement. She sees this as an opportunity to return to consensus building and for "people to decide how exactly we all live alongside one another..with care and compassion".
