Is there a particular reason why the Marian groats are consistently in such bad shape? Just wonder whether it’s down to production or other reasons

It may be gloomy out but some plants are still bright and colourful. This is one of my favourite carnivorous plants I own - Pinguicula laueana “Crimson”. Easy to grow Mexican butterwort that has lovely red blushed leaves in good light and stunning red flowers #carnivorousplants #pinguicula #plantsky

"Suggest you google this guy" Manchester City Council responded to my 2013 Freedom of Information request for details of their deal with Manchester City by flagging my background to City's chief communications officer. Deeply inappropriate (and that's being generous).

I’m guessing the club is doing some serious subposting by putting up the highlights of our win over The Cheats in 2013/14. Passive aggressive pettiness we can all get behind (You robbed us of a PL that year you cheating Manc bastards) #LFC #YNWA

Every single sentence in this piece denotes a kind of tone-deafness and solipsistic ignorance of the rest of society that only comes to the privileged who can't understand why they are not more privileged than they already are.

Feels like City's proxies have got up off the canvas and are coming out swinging. It's quite some mental judo - just two days after the journalist who did most work to put City in the dock wrote about the abuse and threats he suffered from their fans - to try and turn this back on the media.

I don't care if we get relegated or if we don't win another trophy for the next 10 years as much as I now care about Man City suing the football media and the journalists who have been stoking up hate against the club and it's fans.

Irresponsible and dangerous.
