I get that the right wing press are happy to embrace Matthew Syed and his contrarian hot takes. But BBC R4 programming continue to platform Syed and his increasingly uninteresting mumbo-jumbo show. I guess the BBC aren't that quick on the uptake. #BBCR4

Green Party to bring failing water companies into public ownership by Christmas, you say? I feel like there might be a flaw in this plan. Let me think...

Curtice and Calder: the media's automatic go-to on elections and travel. The two should get together for a podcast interviewing TV default gobshites: McTernan, Blunkett, Tominey, Campbell, Varoufakis, Hazarika, Moran and any Johnson you can name! Call it 'Poll to Pole'. #JohnCurtice #SimonCalder

A 100% ⬆️ in Band D for LBHF residents would still see them paying about the same as my council currently charges. The nat average wage is £37K. LBHF average wage is just under £60K. Not to mention property values. My heart bleeds. Pay up. #CouncilTax #LBHF www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

What were you thinking, Andy? a) Banging on about how Everton were stiffed (false equivalence); b) Focusing on how much Manchester regen has depended on Emirates money (choosing the wrong side). Burnham needs to be PM first and Evertonian and former Manc Mayor second. @andyburnham.bsky.social

Burnham asks for an adult response from other parties. The response from left and right opposition is anything but. Greens and LibDems squeezed to the fringes, complaining. Tories and Reform predictably frothing at the mouth. A radical Labour Govt is back. @andyburnham.bsky.social

I didn't think I could set the bar any lower in my expectations of #TomWatson but he's managed to limbo underneath. His CV as Labour Deputy Leader and his role in Operation Midland should give serious pause for thought. I guess Palantir have their reasons. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No time for Citeh but that 10 against 12 performance was very satisfying. Fernandes still on the pitch while Foden went off was a terrible look for VAR and Michael Oliver. Man U still below us with a game in hand. #LUFC

It's that time of year, #TheNationalTrust AGM and the Restore Trust victorian villains are teasing their moustaches again. Five RT candidates to avoid and a motion bemoaning a drop in voting numbers since 2023. But that was the year that the members saw off Restore Trust hence the high voting.

That was the first penalty that Dan has ever conceded. This game seemed doomed to be a disaster after that. Learn, recover, park it and move on (apart from Zetterer, he stays behind for some more practice between the posts). #LUFC
