Kick It Out, the anti-racism charity, say the language used by Man United's co-owner that Britain has been "colonised" by immigrants should have no place in football.

They note he was wildly inaccurate in his factual claims too.

'McSweeney was the political genius who oversaw the overthrow of the hard left, the rise of Starmer as leader, and eventually, the historic landslide election victory of 2024.'

Let's have a look at the absurdities contained in this single statement. A short 🧵

For some, McSweeney resignation removes obstacle to eventual downfall of Starmer
Those pushing to oust the prime minister are unlikely to be deterred by his right-hand man’s departure

We enjoyed Nouvelle Vague, a behind the scenes look of the filming of Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1960), a landmark of the French New Wave film movement.

And the wonderful people at @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social are screening Breathless next week!

Continuing the 70s British Pub Rock R 'n' B theme, here we go with the scintillating 1977 Out Of Their Skulls album by The Pirates. Side 1 is a live recording from Nashville Rooms, April 1977, side 2 was recorded at Rockfield a month later.

I love British R 'n' B & 70s Pub Rock. It laid the foundations for Punk & celebrated stripped back rock 'n' roll.

The Hope & Anchor was a venue where so many great bands of that era performed. Sadly I never got see a gig there, but this album is a fine record of that scene

Lanzarote has lots to offer, plenty to enjoy. And nowadays that means local craft ale & beer.

I've enjoyed different beers from NAO before, now trying an IPA from Malpeis.

I'm lucky enough to have lived in and visited South Asia, so it's no surprise that I'm a fan of William Dalrymple. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a highly readable account of ancient India's influence on science, religion, art, technology, etc.

Did the Prime Minister mislead Parliament when he denied knowing about Mandleson's links with Epstein?
NEW: Keir Starmer has admitted that he knew Peter Mandelson had carried on a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after his paedophilia conviction when he made him US ambassador

The admission came as Starmer confirmed a criminal investigation is taking place at Prime Minister's Questions

The man behind donations of £200,000 to Reform is a church warden from Potters Bar, who just happens to work for a billionaire from Kazakhstan. But it's definitely not money laundering or interference in UK politics by a foreign national.

There are 848 'sitting' members in the House of Lords, with 27 non-sitting members. This fluctuates. There's no fixed maximum. Eh?

It consists of life peers (Mandy, Mone), 92 hereditary peers (their Dad got them it), and ...26 ENGLISH BISHOPS!

No sensible person can justify the House of Lords.
