These paragraphs show what a total dog's dinner the UK constitution is. It's not news, but it's a complete mess that stops almost anything happening outside Whitehall publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5803/cm...

Nothing shows how broken the US is than this chart, from www.economist.com/graphic-deta... After the atrocious governance of the last few years, the thing that will bring down Trump is... 'gas' prices The caricature of 'dumb Americans' has never seemed fairer.

This is the best data I could find on this: from ifs.org.uk/articles/sch... The poorest quintiles in England get 30-40% more than the richest, not 'on par' Equally, if you can't educate a child on $50K a head, you're doing something very wrong.

That's nothing. If it wasn't for me, they'd be $25 a gallon. And rising. (As a result, Americans collectively owe me £1Trillion)

Yeah. Currently on 80 points with a 0 point green, but no players in LEE-NEW means I will definitely end up red My zombie team (no transfers, captain changes or changes to team or bench order) is now ahead of my real team (which has used BB and FH!) (vs Plants = zombie, real = RafawastheBosphorus)

176AD was a leap year, entirely appropriate for this 'grasshopper' of a week Began at 1.99M, fell ~400K to 2.38M after MCI, fell to a nadir of 2.44M before MAN-IPS Then leaped 2.2M places though MAN and ARS to end at 280K. Wild rides of 176! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestr... #fpl #fplhistory

Never had a 100+ no-chip SGW before. Slightly disappointed I did BB1 for 7pts and could have BB2 for 23. But when variance gives you Bruno's 46, I'll not complain too much

Note that the way it's described here, it's not "the AI's fault" It's the fault of the people who implemented it, without regard to the racial bias in the courts. E.g., it's a different problem to Grok, which is just racially coded

Left hand side shows Rogers' data from Fotmob from last season. On the right, Wirtz

I would argue both are exceptional passers of the ball. But on possession and defending, Anderson is in a different league. He's the natural successor to Rodri and one of a tiny number of players who can play 6 solo: defending, progressing and carrying. Jones can play 6 in a pair or 8

000

Matt "Winter is here" @mattrobb.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Anderson is a unicorn... already the best 6 in the Prem. Here's the side-by-sides (data per 90, last season). Anderson on the left, Jones on the right Jones marginally better at shooting, but neither especially good. Jones has better xA, but Anderson better A. Other passing stats good for both

Surely several... top 4% might have been harder back in the day with mostly interested players and not much external content feels like easier now with loads of casuals and 1-GW teams?

Worth reading carefully if you have access. Core to this is a decline in women's desire to climb the corporate ladder. Many possible reasons, obviously Interesting to note Britain with the smallest pay gap of comparators

B) You might be making a surplus today, but if you stand still in headwinds, you'll be making a loss tomorrow. Cut now and you need to make fewer cuts later. And you can see this dynamic in Exeter's accounts 14/ www.exeter.ac.uk/v8media/univ...

The article says why the cuts are coming: mgmt wants staff costs below 55% of revenue. One might not like that argument, but it's as clear as any rationale could be 10/

So I wrote this, paraphrased: "some baby, some bathwater" You can identify a infinite number of 'baby' cuts without disproving that point.

Reading now - this is the key point. If you want investment, ultimately customers / taxpayers have to pay for it. Public or private, this is true. Because of the regulatory regime this is down to politicians. 1/
