Do squabbling MPs let alone the general public *actually* want a Prime Minister to resign every 6 minutes?
This morning I’ve seen Olly Robbins’s appearance before the select committee described as ‘box office’, while a commentator flagged up another key political moment with the words ‘bring the popcorn’.
That’s one of our main problems right there.

Update on the most moral army in the world.
Few things in the digital world astound me anymore, but the @nationaltheatre.org.uk at home feels like actual magic. I just get to sit at my computer with crisps, and watch ALL these plays. Whenever I want.
The new logo for Infowars has been revealed.
The Onion has successfully landed a deal to take over Alex Jones' site after 17 months of legal issues.
Tim Heidecker will serve as the site's creative director.
You are not a serious football pundit if you are saying that Arsenal would have won the title already by now if they'd played like they did v City in their other games without mentioning the INJURIES to Odegaard, and Havertz who started a game with Eze yesterday for the 2nd time this season.
Starmer must be BEGGING to get shafted in May at this point. So humiliating.
"Why can't Arsenal attack?"
It's really, really simple!
And of course it isn't true but that's the net, numbing affect of a nation where slaughtering your own children becomes a second-tier news story. Your latest mass shooting didn't even hit the headlines here. That's just what you're like. It's just who you are.
I think the rest of the world has gone a bit 'that's just what it's like over there, they value life less I guess' about America and its mass shooting problem. The way it used to over any less developed nation frequently embattled. Their humanity slips from view. 'They're just more violent I guess'.
Ford fiesta runs marathon faster than human
But like… so can a car? So could I…on a bike. What’s remarkable about this? That it has…two legs? That you can define its motion as ‘running’? This is the epitome of AIs ‘end times marketing’: it’s selling you a car and pretending it’s a genie.
I talk it out in voice memos 🫣
A proper game of football, this one, berween a team that should have wrapped up the title already and another which should have been demoted to League One a long time ago.
There might now be a final title irony that, if it does become a shoot-out, Arsenal need to change the emphasis of their team and get scoring
Expensive attacking talent was the difference here
City’s repeat winners also showed their experience

Setup was there, performance was mostly there, though I didn't feel the right XI was on at the end. Mostly, the ball didn't go in. I can live with that much more than I can live with Wolves, Bournemouth, Forest, etc. Fuck.
Same with Martinelli. I don’t understand. What are they afraid of?
Havertz wrestled off the ball in every instance. We’ve no strength.
Game over. Our technical lacking is so depressing.
Timber & Saka aside think that’s our best XI, excited to see it and hope we play with the passion, pace and dedication that the occasion demands. No wilting and bafflement like the Carabao, this is our time. Immortality beckons Arsenal, take it. Also fuck City tbh, for 115 reasons and more #COYG 💪🏻🔴⚪️
Eze didn’t get much joy as that Arteta-classic wide left last couple of times he did it. But maybe PH will give him a chance to operate in that more central channel.
What a weird lineup
I’ve also never been to a pub to watch Arsenal and seen us win. And I’ve been to pubs to watch Arsenal a lot.
a fun London thing is that it has about 15 percent of the population of England and 70 percent of the phone thefts.

I've noted this before, but Londoncentric is great reading if you have any interest in urban life, culture, crime, etc, even if you're a convinced London hater like me.

NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.
First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.
Nothing reminds me of how NOT ‘misery loves company’ I am than when I read Arsenal Reddit posts saying ‘go watch the game with your Arsenal pals today. Celebrate or commiserate together.’ Are you fuuuucking joking lol. It’ll be me with a takeaway in my flat where when we lose, I can just peace out.
