Hello Bluesky, long time no see!

Back here on the premise you’ll all appreciate my random posting as well as my *very* serious journalistic work

So…where are my wrestling fans?
Rachel Reeves confirmed yesterday that inflation had stabilised for a third consecutive month in a row at 3.8%, per ONS.

It’s a far cry from the target 2%, but will it be enough to convince people on her changes coming in the budget? We discuss…
NEW: Zack Polanski holds a news conference in Swindon to welcome in two more councillor defections to The Green Party.

Tom Butcher and Repi Begum follow Ian Edwards who made the move in Swindon Council last week.
Keir Starmer calls the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban “wrong” - but police based it on intelligence, not prejudice.

When the state rushes ignores the intelligence on the ground, it risks turning justified caution into performative virtue.

Latest from me.
Starmer falls for Maccabi Tel Aviv moral panic, despite a well documented history of hooliganism…

Israel confirm 4 more deceased hostages bodies have returned, bringing the total up to 8.

Hamas say they can find up to 12, Israel want 28. The battle over hostage numbers is already proving to test Trump’s grand peace deal. Is the deal starting to unravel?

Here’s the latest from me.
Trump’s Gaza Deal Crosses the Line, but the Hostage Crisis Shows How Fragile Peace Will Be
Donald J. Trump’s long-promised peace deal between Israel and Hamas was signed on Monday with the kind of fanfare and symbolism that both…

Former Australian PM Tony Abbott talks in populist nonsense for 30 minutes at Tory Conference…

- Says we need to take more lessons from Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orban

- Called Labour a “Green left cultural Marxist Labour Party”

This is what’s left of the Conservative party in 2025…
Mox just gets wrestling like no one else #AEWAllOut
Seeing some discourse over at the the other place on American crowds lack of ability to invest in matches sincerely - the main example being the difference in crowds between two ‘blood feuds’, MJF vs Mistico in CMLL and C&C vs FTR tonight.

Sincere heat compared to hoes and dad chants. Thoughts?
Fantastic match between MJF and Mark Briscoe, a little heatless to begin but god these guys know to get a crowd invested. Mark has been needing a breakout win and what a way to make it happen. This is only the start. #AEWAllOut
A powerful and shocking report from @theguardian.com with @matthewcassel.bsky.social on the ground.

In Tel Aviv, a 19-year-old soon to join the IDF insists: “No innocents… the children are gonna be terrorists.”
And I also write regular news updates on AEW, NJPW and more - and write some deeper analysis, and deep dives for Last Word On Sport!

Great turnout in Manchester today at national demo for Palestine.

Proud of this city! 🇵🇸
Beautiful bluesky over MediaCity today as the sun sets (yes at 3pm, welcome to UK winter people 😂)
This deal has been rescued from almost certain failure, a gruelling two weeks of marathon talks led us up to the last 48 hours of intense negotiations.

Countries left, countries returned but finally a deal has been done. Undoubtedly below the target of many but a substantial deal nonetheless.
#COP29 BREAKING: $300BN DEAL AGREED

COP President Mukhtar Babayev has just announced that the text has finally been approved - a $300bn/year climate cash deal for the world's poorest countries.
Oh it definitely is a way to sideline Elon from any real position of power. I thought that from the start but then expected we’d get some serious appointments in the big roles…clearly expected too much from the Orange man.
Well for example the intention on removing farm subsidies was to tax cash rich people who were hoarding farm land to avoid taxes, not with intention to shut down thousands of family farms. I think they’re inexperienced and badly communicating, not necessarily bad intentioned.
