Chris @chreeeeeees.bsky.social · 16hSurely the only logical punishment since Manchester City has been convicted is not relegating them to the championship/league 2/national league/northern counties league, but sending them to the Australian A league 000
Chris @chreeeeeees.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Nationalisation is clearly going to better than it did last time because we’re prefixing everything with ‘Great British’ rather than just ‘British’ and that means it can’t go wrong 021

Reposted by ChrisHazel Southwell @hazelsouthwell.bsky.social · 24/09/2026the POINT of this stunt about moving the grand prix to the Saturday and holding it this weekend is that Aliyev wants to draw attention to his agenda here. the idea is to get foreigners in and push the Azerbaijan narrative. Armenia can't afford to do this sort of shit. it's a stunt. 1294

Reposted by ChrisChaminda Jayanetti @cjayanetti.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I think the worst part of Labour's response to the fascist mobilisation is Andy Burnham's absence. He's the most popular politician in the country, with social media reach and actual powers of persuasion, and he's saying nothing in public. He can actually be of use here but he's choosing not to 451459420
Chris @chreeeeeees.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Ultimately, for all his flaws, I have to be fully behind a mayor who’s waged war on the motorist and is fighting Westminster council’s attempts to set the capital’s bedtime/be in denial that they’re the middle of a global city not some sleepy village in the shires 000

Chris @chreeeeeees.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I think there’s also a popular line of thought of if you fix people’s economic circumstances, that’s enough to stop the far-right, when that really doesn’t explain why the wealthiest country in human history voted for a fascist in 2024, or all the other non-economic drivers of the far right 1132
Reposted by ChrisLaura Gordon @lauragordon.bsky.social · 07/09/2026This government reminds me of Joe Biden. Biden didn't want to be the prosecute Trump president, he wanted to pass an infrastructure bill. Burnham doesn't want to be the take on the hard right PM, he wants to do social care reform and devo. But you have to do the task you're set or face disaster. 1430488

Chris @chreeeeeees.bsky.social · 02/08/2026To have a completely tepid take: it was probably right to close schools in Covid, but it was immensely damaging to a lot of kids education and it’s something that that the school system is still going to be feeling for another decade, and it’s a complete disservice there hasn’t been catch up funding 110
