Which top manager is going to go to a club where you get given a rotating cast of mediocre youngsters who the owners want to flip like eBay traders, no experienced players, no say in transfers and the team doctors having a veto over selections.

Rosenior parts company with Chelsea

McFarlane to again step up for Sunday.

Chelsea not currently in active discussions with any long-term candidates

Liam Rosenior sacked by Chelsea after five successive Premier League defeats Chelsea have slipped to seventh in the Premier League after winning just one of their last nine league matches.

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea part company with head coach Liam Rosenior. #CFC wanted to give 41yo much longer but results dictated otherwise. FA Cup + CL bid key factors. Calum McFarlane to take interim charge before permanent appointment in summer 🚨

Side point - but I feel the BBC article should probably have mentioned why Prescott was suspended and some of the concerns around him - this from Prospect and @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com

Rather than just doing the 'John Prescott's son is now in the Greens!' thing

It is genuinely wild how the GOP can insult Canada for over a year non-stop and then get angry about being "disrespected"

Liam Rosenior leaves Chelsea three and a half months into contract until 2032 * Rosenior has taken charge of only 23 matches * Calum McFarlane in interim charge for rest of season Liam Rosenior has left Chelsea after Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat at Brighton. The head coach has gone three and a half months into a six-and-a-half-year contract after taking charge of only 23 matches. The loss at Brighton was Chelsea’s fifth in a row in the Premier League without scoring and extinguished any realistic hope of finishing in the top five spots that would guarantee Champions League qualification.

Falling school rolls must be the major issue of the next 5-10 years which has least media attention.

I want to see a broadcast interview where a senior Microsoft executive is asked to move from Old Outlook to New Outlook without Outlook losing all their contacts, and then has to explain why anyone would trust their company to build an Artificial Intelligence.

This is a total failure of leadership. The thing about populists is that they will never, ever confront their supporters to tell them they are wrong. Populists will always take the path of least resistance - even when it means appeasing racists.

Judging by leaflets and general visibility vibes, I'd guess Blackheath will go Lib Dem, with Greens pushing Labour into third.

No one does street name trolling quite like Prague

Anyone fretting over the Russians after Ukraine and the murder of Dawn Sturgess, which only by a miracle didn't kill others, is treacherous filth and should be shunned.

If I was the Greens I’d be worried that people who have demanding we refuse requests for help from countries invaded by fascists intent on genocide as a red line see them as an attractive prospect

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Musk and Zuck and Thiel and Altman and the rest are some of the unhappiest people to ever live, and they all seem willing to destroy the world in their search for just a moment of contentment. Not great for the rest of us.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Peter Thiel wrote his infamous 2009 libertarian manifesto six months after Barack Obama and Democrats swept into power.

Also tells anyone who applies for sensitive posts which require DV that, despite what you are told about confidentiality, your status may be revealed by politicians in a fit of pique, which may then place you at personal risk. Way to attract talent...

Genuinely, there is a reason this stuff is kept confidential and private. The Mandy stuff is fair game, but expanding it more broadly is danger danger Will Robinson for the wider British security state (which is very good)

Do the Tories really want the vetting status of their SPADs, senior advisors and appointments picked over.

Because that is the response from Labour here and I can think of a number that might be damaging to say the least

Basically they are on the path of requiring all public servants, including elected ones, to be vetted.

I think this would be an hysterically funny outcome myself ;)

Features a superb riff on di Caprio and Chelsea.
