Mayor Quimby: We will now hear suggestions for the $350 million renovation plan.

Lisa: Don't you mean $200 million renovation plan?

Quimby: Of course. How silly of me. Excuse me.

This says a lot about British politics at the moment.

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

FT: 1-0. Bright start for #Boro with crisp early opener & should've been out of sight then it got stodgy, let Owls off the hook & forced to work hard to see it out. Should've had a pen & Lev Yashin Lumley made some good saves. Still, 3 points &sitting pretty in second. #UTB

Linny Legend Sol Brynn far busier than he should be. #Boro need to get a grip on this game again quickly. #UTB

HT: 1-0. #Boro engineered a sweet early opener in a strange swimming pool atmosphere but eased off a bit since. Stonewall penalty waved away and Lumley has leaned into the negative Nelly narrative and made two big saves. Need another to settle fans' nerves. It'll come. #UTB

That's a penalty that, by the way. Lumley has clattered Conway in the box. #UTB #Boro

Sparse crowd. A club divided. #Boro need to be ruthless and whack Wednesday while they are down. Three big points up for grabs #UTB

Major upside of the movie-style brass-necked, hi-viz raid on the Louvre is that it nudged me to start to rewatch Lupin on Netflix, which is brilliant. He's the French answer to Raffles.

Looks like Maccabi have saved the UK government from the spectacle of somehow overturning an expert public safety assessment.

Either politicians make public safety at sports stadiums an absolute priority or they do not.

Maccabi Tel Aviv say in a statement that they will "decline any allocation offered on behalf of away fans" for next month's Europa League match against Aston Villa at Villa Park, adding that "the wellbeing and safety of our fans is paramount."

Got to hand it to the Paris museum jewel thieves. They found exactly what they're looking for. That's a serious achievment at the Louvre.

A great advert for their levels of financial literacy. No wonder their policies are so erratically 'costed'.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.

There are MANY politicians who owe West Midlands police a profound apology.

Higher taxes on gambling probably would cost some jobs. But employment has to be weighed against other social costs.

That's why we don't have brothels and ketamine stores on every high street. It was a terrible mistake to let gambling shops become such big employers.

If TV adverts were realistic that 'mularky' jobsworth twat with the medieval haircut would get a mouthful from the bride then a minute later her three drunken brothers would storm out and give him a right shoeing.
