As tweeted so many times before, UK now an outsider to EU & every other country in the world...as more turn inwards & more protective ..
EU etc can afford to do without UK goods; but UK cannot even afford to reciprocate its TCA border, never mind start any trade wars.

Badenoch actually says the Tories would ‘shut down rip off [degree] courses’ or ‘low quality courses’. She mentioned none by name.
Vile speech yes, but the spin is from the right wing media

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Jenryck wants to ‘take our country back’.
To life under Truss and Johnson?
To ‘the war’?
To 1934?
When Robert?

Liverpool are ‘in transition’ because of the new signings? But Arsenal ‘have to win the league’ because of the new signings?

We see you British sports media.

Good to note the @M_Star_Online newspaper’s Monday sportspages carry Premier League reports from colleagues @JDNalton @RogerDom1 and myself from the north-west, the north-east and north London

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime'

Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

We don’t actually know intent in most cases, especially when the murderer is killed before they can explain their motives.

Sadly there’s now no difference between Labour and the Tories. Both have outlived their purpose.

So, Arsenal go into October’s international break top of the Premier League after playing United, Liverpool, City and Newcastle. A very long way to go but a good start to the season so far for Mikel Arteta’s Gunners. Enjoy your Saturday night
