Great BBC stat: Port Vale now off the hook for most league places between FA Cup giant and their killer (117 V 108). Even better is that the last non-league side to eliminate the holders was in 1909... and it was Crystal Palace. They beat Wolves, who won the 1908 final at... The Crystal Palace

Excellent bit of journalism to avoid mentioning that there are now 12 more private schools than there were in 2024.

It's interesting that Russia withdrew all of its personnel from Venezuela exactly 14 days before Trump's invasion. China didn't withdraw their personnel. Cuba didn't withdraw theirs. Just Russia.
It is almost as if someone called Putin to warn him what's up as part of a quid pro quo.
Not almost.

In part 2 of my @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation, I reveal how the 'BBC bias' memo - written by a Trump-aligned lobbyist whose firm was paid up to a million by pro-Trump donor tech giants - was politically biased and reliant on pro-Trump partisan sources bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/p...
The Pro-Trump Bias of the 'Neutral' Sources in the Leaked BBC 'Prescott Dossier'
Byline Times’ analysis of key sources in the memo about the BBC’s alleged ‘progressive bias’ shows it relied on highly partisan right-wing, Trump-aligned organisations

Seems like quite a moment. This morning, the UK was powered entirely by low-carbon energy, it seems.
Yes it's windy and sunny. But it's still a milestone.

We could have declared "100% zerocarbon" this morning when renewables+nuclear were generating 100% of UK consumption.
As usual this drove our price down, so exports up, and we had to run gas just to power the exports.
NESO set hard target that ZCO has to include exports as well as UK demand.

A key attack line in the next few years coming from Trump/MAGA and Reform is that university teachers (lecturers/professors) are poisoning the minds of young people, brainwashing them into leftist thinking. Make no mistake, this is a pretext to defund the sector. 1/n
