Read this open-mouthed earlier, and not without a little concern for my own situation. Brilliant public service reporting from @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social
This investigation from the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social is absolutely staggering. It is very common in Sheffield (I live in this bit) to have a leasehold, often with hundreds of years left on and pennies in ground rent. This is extortion pure and simple. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/a-london-law...
A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived
Exclusive: The Tribune can reveal that Andrew Milne has threatened leaseholders with high court action. It ‘broke my heart’ one woman says

My budget guess, based on absolutely no evidence, is that the VAT registration threshold is coming right down.

At Sheff U women v Durham women. It probably isn't for me to say, but surely 'We are Blades' would suffice here, @sheffieldunitedfc.bsky.social ?

Right conclusions, wrong reason.
The UK Parliament is ugly as fuck. Can we perhaps build a new one, something a tad bit more modern? Turn the old one into a museum or a supermarket or something.

Nothing warms my heart as much as seeing someone doing this. The world is *full* of people doubling down on shit they don’t even believe out of a sense of pride, and seeing someone graciously acknowledge being wrong, in full public view, is quite inspiring.
Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

Andrew is a Prince. You can't strip him of that, he was born into it. If you believe in a royal family you have to accept all of them, even those accused of abuses.
Be my guest if that makes you want to debate whether we should have a royal family at all.

If Labour are wondering why their voters are turning to Green, look no further than this bullshit.

In three or so years these people could be running the country's finances. 😱
Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.
Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

Bad mental health doesn't cause racism, and thats what he needs to address.
Like Gregg Wallace and his autism, here's someone doing a disservice to those that do suffer with poor mental health.

A lot that could be said about this but if you look on Twitter it’s noticeable that the replies and quote tweets are *overwhelmingly* telling him he shouldn’t have apologised and even attacking him for doing so. That’s the feedback loop certain users are plugged into now, and it has consequences.

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.
A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

IMHO, although the party contains a lot of racists, the best line of attack on Reform is to point out that their funders were the same people who backed Liz Truss and her budget, because that had real consequences on everybody's life.

I'm always irritated when a book's ending reveals that the 200 pages you just read were a fiction within the fiction. One of my favourite writers has done it in the book i just read and, much as they are a terrific satirical writer, I just feel as though they've wasted my time.
