No matter how much I read, I just cannot fathom the idea that civil servants should *not* tell ministers that their choice to be US Ambassador has red flags from Security Vetting.

That's *not* a defence of Starmer - and Robbins may have been applying the rules correctly. But the rule seems insane.

Grim but useful read.

Reform UK candidate said Nazis were ‘real visionaries’ Nigel Farage’s party has been accused of a ‘systemic failure’ in its vetting — with one candidate saying that immigrants breed ‘like rats’

Problems with vetting. Another problem that's solvable by Farage is that the party is so attractive to racists.

Team Spirit | Psychology of sport | Dave Bassett | Mike Brearley | 1987 YouTube video by ThamesTv

For a period, everytime Wimbledon went through a poor run of form, a section of the membership would start banging on about sports psychologists. Funnily enough, here's Dave Bassett talking about all that in the early 80s with a psychotherapist. youtu.be/FhSo1bvhYz0?...

This really is an absolutely essential read. Fascinating and depressing.

I have hayfever from Spring until late in the year now. On antihistamines and nasal sprays most of the year. Booo

Another 'busy cunt', as someone said the other day about a similar situation.

Though why the fella wants to film himself eating a sandwich is anyone's guess.

The Great Bottle of London The four biggest clubs in London each have a cloud over their heads at the moment, but three of them are not like the other.

London's four biggest clubs are all under pressure at the same time, although one of them really isn't the same as the others.

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Just very sad we all get a front row seat to people's quite scary mental decay - also quite worrying this is still one of the UK political sphere's top ways of disseminating information

QUICK! While the Hungarian guy is out, but before the Bulgarian guy comes in!

It's astonishing that Singham is still peddling this nonsense. The UK *did* pursue this under Johnson-Frost and, for good reasons, it was rejected in 2020 - as Singham knows because when that happened he still refused to accept it (& evidently still does): www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1384... 1/3

On Earth Day: environmental investigations can be tough and take time, skills and persistence —but they are possible, and they matter. Here are some tools and resources our team has used in investigations to track wildlife trade, wildfires, and oil spills… 🧵

Now this is a lead story that should have MPs demanding answers, emergency sessions, street protests from those who want to 'take back control'.

That's about five years I reckon. Caused by an argument over who should pay.

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

Politico report the Home Secretary was asked who out of Zack Polanski, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch or Ed Davey she would taser or deport.

Mahmood replied: “All of the above.”

So Home Secretary is herself able to joke about deporting Badenoch, Polanski & Farage.

(Farage ought not to reciprocate)

Miliband doubles down on net zero - Energy Live News Labour to announce breaking the link between gas and electricity prices and more renewables push

Ed Miliband today: "The era of fossil fuel security is over and the era of clean energy security must come of age....To ignore two crises in less than five years would be completely irresponsible… our action must now be faster deeper and more wide ranging.”

The night Chelsea’s failed experiment sunk to breaking point It would not be a surprise if Chelsea and Liam Rosenior went their separate ways after five Premier League defeats in a row without scoring - but the blame should lie with those above him

Brighton were fitting winners for this breaking point of a game, given how one of Clearlake's big "ideas" has been to just take Brighton's, but without the analytics actually responsible

The rush to appease Trump led Keir Starmer into this ethical void | Rafael Behr Mandelson’s flaws were mistaken for credentials to represent Britain in the court of a rogue president, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Are there, perhaps, any recent examples of dubious characters with obvious security risks being appointed to the House of Lords?

Of course they are concentration camps. And @anatosaurus.bsky.social is right that once you accept the euphemism you are halfway to normalizing the thing.
