Starmer’s Labour lost control of the same amount of councils as Blair’s Labour did in 1999. Both two years into their premiership. Similar amount of councillors lost too. The landscape of course is different but other PMs have suffered similarly bruising experiences and survived it.

As a member of the IFS it is just very surreal to be doing a pod with Andy and Sam, some moments last night recording where I just forgot I was doing a pod, thought I was listening to TFTM

Even though the present is great, it's lovely to talk about the past. This very much slots into the "middle-aged men just saying 90s footballers' names" pigeon hole but I'm all for it. Not one mention of Jan Eriksson though, weirdly

Is it an April Fool that Barry Keoghan isn't Lennon? He looks more like John Lennon than John Lennon did. Also, as much as Ringo's story is worthy, I see his as the weakest story to tell out of the four, depending on where they pick up and where they leave the timeline.

It's funny that every terrestrial TV streaming service has changed its name multiple times yet iPlayer - the worst name of them all - remains. Someone's half-arsed suggestion in a meeting one time has never been seen fit to change. Something quite comforting about it.

Government say the £9bn Lower Thames Crossing shows "commitment to delivering the vital infrastructure the country needs to succeed" Same Government cancelled the dualling of the A1 between England and Scotland as it was "unfunded and unaffordable". Thanks a bunch.

The Steel City Derby deserves so much more than the half-arsed Sky Sports+ coverage it's getting. Standard EFL feed and rush-cut highlights at half-time, no presenters. All being put together from the EFL's production hub offsite. Poor.

This feels like the 3-0 at Palace towards the end of the 03-04 season - we later met them in the play-offs and we all know what happened then. Need to find the momentum again, desperately. #SAFC
