I absolutely do not doubt the sincerity of the position, but I'm finding "the end of NATO, the forced deportation of millions and the introduction of fascism is a price worth paying to send a message to Harris about Gaza" a little difficult to get my head around.

Watching Moore yesterday, was the first time he started to believe that he could run at senior pros like he does at under 21 level. I can't imagine how exciting it was to see it live. Fans in the stadium may well remember that as the day Moore started his rise to the very top.

Remember when the four lanes of traffic were removed from the northern side of Trafalgar Square? Drivers lost their minds, but now no one bats an eyelid. It was a silly idea to allow traffic there in the first place. Change is possible. #London ❤️

At the very least, if you decide to cancel your WaPo and/or LA Times subscriptions, please I am begging you to transfer that money to other publications that you feel deserve the support. Don’t just remove it completely from all journalism. If we want a free press we have to invest in it.

Are you a National Trust member? Do you dislike the cancer of concocted right wing culture-war nonsense slowly and steadily making every good thing in this country, go shit? Then grab your membership number and vote online in the AGM by midnight tonight. Just choose the 'NT recommended candidates'.

This is a ludicrous and deliberately misleading headline for The Times. Starmer’s definition is fine: working people depend on the money they earn from their work. They might own property or shares but they don’t have enough wealth to live off it.

Now jog on.

Every day is a pertinent day to propose this, but today perhaps especially: there should not be such a thing as billionaires. A global wealth tax would be of great benefit to all societies and individuals, including the super-rich themselves.

Timo probably needs sessions with a top sports psychologist, because this isn't about football anymore. He does everything right and at a high level, but in front of goal he reverts to an U8 local league player. I feel so sorry for him been there myself and it is a truly horrible feeling .

From my temporary seat here in Spain, the ridiculousness of the entire discourse in UK politics being dictated by a handful of right-wing newspapers and and of government policy being designed to appease them, even though they are unappeasable, is even starker. It's an absurd way to run a country.

We need to talk MUCH more about emotional deregulation with #ADHD.

I’m a walking ocean of emotions! I go from chirpy & bright to morose & painfully sad in seconds. Don’t get me started on my newly unleashed anger!!

Anything that remotely feels out of my control or unfair results in combustion!

This is rather unfortunate, especially if you tot up all the dodgy stuff the last lot got up to which, let's face it, amounted to more than some suits and football tickets.
Tell me again that sleaze and improving integrity in UK public life does not matter for Labour.
In the 100 days since Labour won, their net approval rating has collapsed by a whopping 37pts.

✅ Approve 18% (-10)
❌ Disapprove 59% (+27)

A parable. When you go under the Bloor viaduct, only sometimes do you see a train. A certain disappointed kid might say, "The train tracks are always empty!" It's true, they are. And yet, that train moves half a million people every day, more than any of Toronto's highways.

Wonder how many Tory MPs will politely excuse themselves from a post in new shadow cabinet/ministerial team whether its Jenrick or Badenoch as leader? Some may prefer holding on to outside interests to joining cause that's already lost.

The only good thing about the focus on Jenrick is I’m feeling less gaslit. Here he is post Brexit - how we must come together as a community. That tune changed quickly.

What lack of joined up thinking & how dysfunctional is the railway electrification strategy (or lack of) in the UK? Chiltern Railways cancels battery train proposals. Clearly full electrification is probably the way to go on a mainline, lets just get it done.

The only way the United Kingdom can quit the ECHR is by breaching or re-negotiating the Good Friday Agreement.

And Ireland and the nationalist community in the north of Ireland are not going to re-negotiate the GFA so as to remove fundamental rights.

No way round this for Jenrick and the Tories.
