Oh, I agree with that! 👍

… @georgedobell.bsky.social tellsyou what “personal circumstances” really means

I think that's totally fair journalism. I'd have written it, and I'm a Leeds fan 🤔

How very Tory of you

Consultants endlessly making money on something nobody has the energy and ambition to actually build.

For once Google AI is good on this. Look up "elitism is addictive"! Tells you most of what you need to know.

I'm sure carbon dating is very good, but forgive me if I think it's more likely to be 1910.

Justin has been exceptional for months. Looks a great signing now.

Ms Hopps has just asked if I am watching the 2nd half. Not sure if I dare. #lufc

This goes back to the effect of BuzzFeed and The Guardian has never quite got over it. Lists have absolutely destroyed Travel writing but few genres are safe. Meanwhile, BuzzFeed is on the verge of bankruptcy….

The Observer Walk from @theobserveruk.bsky.social is an interesting idea and I'm sure once they have bought OSMaps they will even manage to get out of London...

Which is not the point

I even let it get me down yesterday and didn't go because it would rain today... but maybe that's just me 🤔

Yeah, the humourless, po-faced nature of BlueSky is its biggest weakness, especially when it is totally unnecessary

Oh yes, I get the logic, but I don’t think the dirty little secrets of utterly token candidates reflects well. It appears to bother me more than most 🤷‍♂️

Yes, but how much do they (*and all parties) really know about some of them? The number of paper candidates - often tokenism at its worst - is depressingly large.

Political parties are desperate to find candidates in so many wards. My interview consisted of "will you stand?". But even that is better than this, err, politically confused individual

Full marks for creativity to Umesh Kumar, who put in nomination papers to stand for Hounslow council in Heston East ward for the Lib Dems - and also to stand in Heston West ward for Reform UK. Unfortunately multiple candidacies aren't allowed these days, and he's been disqualified in both wards.

Whichever photo you choose, he never quite looks this self-possessed on the field 🙄

Hall of fame FT correction

I suspected that, too, as it often is - and I even briefly looked it up - but I couldn't find any reference!

Sally Cinnamon - Stone Roses
Jenny Was A Friend of Mine - the Killers
Edna the Elephant - Susie and Phil

Quality from Surrey. @kiaoval.com repeatedly shows Championship cricket the way forward. Time for other county clubs to learn and upgrade what in some cases is their utterly dismal Wi-fi.

Well, there's a surprise. Have you seen the ticket prices? Not worth being arrested at immigration because you might have remarked in passing that Trump is a dangerous demented narcissist.

Crypto riches. Pleaded guilty to not stopping money laundering. Pardoned by Trump.

There is "a need to build a case for Leeds trams?" How so? You have all been taking large sums of cash for talking about it for my entire life! The fact is, the DofT and Treasury oppose regional tram systems at every opportunity and would always have the entire North shoved onto unreliable buses.

Morning.

I agree with that. Beating Chelsea and accidentally getting into Europe could be a nightmare!
