This has to be the biggest sporting debacle of 2026 (in a crowded field!)

I hope the people of York are coping without the leadership of a Duke…

Fingers crossed the Lancastrian’s don’t cross the Pennines to attack!

Now we’re talking… pair that with a four pack Stella and then follow it with a whole pack of Gaviscon…

Nuts and gum…

Together at last!

What would you even have this with???

Well… Robert Jenrick just won the Tory leadership… I assume they’ll complete the formalities and he’ll be giving the leaders speech this time next year…

Reflecting today on the absolute evil of antisemitism as such tragic scenes unfold here in Manchester. I’m also incredibly grateful to the people who rush towards danger and have almost certainly saved many lives this morning.

The NFL has absolutely taken over Dublin. It feels almost like a Super Bowl here, with a ton of buzz, gratitude and stories of Bill Murray sightings. Steelers fans are absolutely everywhere.

So happy to see the foxes back in division 1 whilst the ECB try to stack the cards against them even existing…

Good that the massive patriots of the British press are spending their afternoon doing everything possible to turn the president of the US against the UK…

Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

Always sad to see ‘politics of students’ used in such a derogatory way… bit disingenuous in particular to the students who voted for, organised for and door knocked for Labour 12 months ago!

FWIW the country would be in a better place if Westminster politics more closely mirrored student politics!

I love the BBC… but it’s wild that it’s political editor is blogging like this, doesn’t cover any actual content (Covid gives king cancer, Judeo Christian country, call a state of emergency immediately after taking office… etc) and instead just does ‘vibes and feeling’

Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before

The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

Ed @edmarsh.bsky.social · Sep 6

Every speech at the conference is a variant of “I love Britain… and I’m a massive patriot” followed by 15 minutes of slagging off everything about it

You can’t judge a season by whether or not Jadeveon Clowney plays… you can only judge it by how many other players start because of Jadeveon Clowney…

Is there a worse venue… anywhere in the world… to watch anything… than Wembley Stadium?

£800m… and uniquely terrible

In my lifetime I don’t think any England side, in any sport, has been as likeable or as easy to support as this England team… the fact that they’re also the most successful is *chefs kiss*…
