Not sure I should expect too much from Katie Razzle on BBC PM but she clearly wasn’t listening to @elliechowns.bsky.social in that interview. BBC journalists certainly seem more able to hold Greens to account than Reform or Tories. It’s a bad policy voted by 1000 out of 240k. Let’s change it

Fortunately their proposals are currently irrelevant

agreed, but... The people that suffer (usually) are unconnected to the autocrats. I'd shed no tears if Putin contracted something terminal, ditto the current POTUS, but sadly they don't tend to.

COVID emerged 'far far away', but ultimately we live on a shrinking globe. What's affects Siberia might eventually reach Texas and London

yep, sadly. Radical left politics always seems to struggle to grow up and recognise that it is possible to recognise (simplistically) that the enemy of my enemy can also be my enemy, rather than my friend. It was a stupid motion born from idealistic intentions; but the party is democratic

well, the club is loyal, up to a point. They've invested big in the women's game and too much to fail domestically. The CL trophy was amazing but it papered over the cracks of not winning the WSL for far too long. Now? Something has to change and I think it will

I never believed that Corbyn's Labour was antisemitic or racist and I don't believe the Greens are either, but that motion is unhelpful and pointless, which is obvious the elected MPs and the leader.

Claire is Arsenal heritage, like Vic Akers. Hard to move on from that, but sadly, we might need to.

The Arsenal Women have a superb squad, a fantastic stadium and pitch, and the best support for a women's team in the world. The team should be performing way above this level.

Very long queue was my experience, took at least 45 minutes to get to the tapestry room. Oversold? Maybe. But plenty of people not moving through it as well, as they are asked to, so perhaps a result of not realising how it would work in practice? It’s a once in a millennium opportunity to see it

To see the exhibition? Because the museum itself is free

What do you mean by a ‘valid museum ticket’ in this context?

we were so lucky that we had no injuries at all last season, that was why we were able to win the league I guess...

All the more reason to make the punishment suitably catastrophic.

I disagree. Leah's mistake was one thing, but the momentum was poor, then disappeared with the subs. She doesn't seem to know how to win a match at the moment.

Drew Gray @drewdgray.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
The equaliser was the result of an individual error and that's not on the manager, but the substitutions made little sense, and so is the tactical set up, and that is on Slegers. If we don't beat City on Sunday i think serious questions need to be asked (if they aren't already).

Drew Gray @drewdgray.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
that is so poor from Leah Williamson. A player of her experience does not need to take a risk by handling the ball like that. Just stupid

that's more like it Arsenal

Also actually the suffering for any football fans pales in comparison to people who are victims of human rights abuses in the UAE, or of the gross violence carried out by UAE-backed forces in the Horn of Africa. That’s what this sports-washing exercise ultimately helps sustain.

Charles Booth’s survey of life and labour in London (1887-97) revealed that 41% of Londoners were born outside the capital. Today that figure is a staggering… 41%

I’d be quite happy if none of our players played for their international teams.

On that basis every City player or staff who was at the club during that period should be stripped of any titles, medals, bonuses etc won then or since? Bonkers logic is what it is
