The news of Michael Kiwanuka’s stroke is really upsetting but sensitively handled in this interview. He’s a great artist and a lovely human being and his new album is terrific. I hope he gets to record and perform again www.theguardian.com/music/2026/s...

The Mercury prize winner hasn’t been able to go home since falling ill last summer. In his only interview, he opens up about the ‘poignancy’ of finally releasing the new album his stroke shelved

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

A #WarOnWalking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on any transportation choice other than driving. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. Cars still get most of the space, rights, budget, prioritization, etc. And any effort to add more choice is immediately attacked.

These are not ebikes, for fucks sake. They’re electric motorbikes and if the police are selling on motor vehicles with no type approval, that’s the real fucking story @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social. They should be crushed; not put back onto the streets to be seized again.

Thousands are confiscated annually because they are suspected of being driven illegally or used in a crime - most are destroyed, but last year police sold at least 161.

Just me saying that any effort to tackle misinformation must be an attack on Reform, thereby admitting that Reform are helping Russia to spread far right narratives and create dissent and unrest.

Per the new @privateeyenews.bsky.social, while David Sullivan was banned from contact with the women's and youth team, Karren Brady spoke in the Lords in support of an attempt to dilute the new football regulator's fit and proper test by narrowing the scope of civil cases that could be considered.
THE BRADY HUNCH

KARREN BRADY resigned as vice-chair at West Ham United in April, it was said, to focus on other interests and her work in the House of Lords. It was impeccable timing, coming just before the club was relegated from the Premier League and its co-owner, former pornographer David "Slug" Sullivan, stepped down ahead of a Times and a Panorama investigation into serious allegations of sexually exploitative behaviour towards women (see Eye 1677).

Baroness

Brady knew Sullivan van had been banned by the Football Association from contact with the West Ham women's and youth teams due to safeguarding concerns three vears ago. but via her lawyers at Carter-Ruck she stated that she had relied on the principle of a "presumption of innocence" in continuing to work at the club and had "no knowledge" of the Times and Panorama allegations. Sullivan denies all wrongdoing.

Brady may have had no knowledge of those specific cases, but there can be little doubt that the woman who worked closely with Sullivan at his Sport Newspapers and football clubs for more than 30 years (Sullivan appointed her managing director at Birmingham City in 1993. when Brady was 23) was aware of other allegations.

Former Birmingham Mail editor Steve Dyson recalls Brady acting as middle-woman when he wanted to put allegations of sexual misconduct to Sullivan when he was co-owner of Birmingham City in 2008. The woman involved later dropped the case.

In the House of Lords, Tory peer Brady has argued to dilute the football governance bill. She told the Boardroom podcast, co-presented by Jack Sullivan (son of Davidany civil proceedings, regardless of their nature or relevance, to count against someone in an ownership determination".

proposed football regulator was "a solution in gulaton search of a problem".

In December 2024, Brady spoke in favour of an amendment to the bill's revised ownership suitability test. The bill stated that when the regulator checks a person's fitness to own or direct…
