A highly encouraging display on Saturday. Strange fact; the match before England's traumatic 1-1 draw in 1973 against Poland saw a 7-0 victory against Austria at Wembley. Not expected similar trauma this time around!

Next Saturday night on BBC2 'Forty Hits of 1976 at the BBC', two and a half hours (gulp!) of an important musical archive. Or far more likely a evening of nausea and torture best avoided., you be the judge.

Trump says Canada is “destroying itself” and claims millions are coming in “unchecked and unvetted.” No evidence. Canada has actually REDUCED immigration intake. Trump should worry about his own country. Canada will decide Canada’s future. 🇨🇦 #USDemocracy #RisingBlue #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong

With him in the White House, we are an unserious nation, a nation our friends and allies around the world rightly despise and, as long as he’s in the White House, want nothing to do with.

After Zia Yusuf accuses critics of endangering Reform politicians with violent language, he is read a list of quotes where he called Reform's opponents "lunatics who deserve extinction", "sick arsonists" and "traitors" who will face a "reckoning". He says these are in "a totally different category"

Just noting that when Sarah Everard was kidnapped and murdered by a police officer and a vigil held for her on Clapham Common, Farage urged people not to attack men or the police.

Disappointed that Guardian article on the Southampton fiasco dealt only with their players issues with bonuses. As a Hull fan living in London I'm one of the lucky ones, could future pieces reflect fan anger at both Hull and Boro about short term booking and/or changes to transport and hotels?

Wes Streeting would be the final nail in Labour's coffin. More neoliberalism, more privatisation, more austerity, more grovelling to economic power, when we desperately want change.

Three hours after Donald Trump's threat that “a whole civilisation will die tonight” in Iran, and Nigel Farage has been more openly critical of this than Downing Street or anyone else in the UK government.

Speaking as he departed a local election campaign walkabout in Bedworth, Warwickshire, the Reform UK leader described the US President’s comments as “way too far”.
After being read the first two lines of the US president’s latest Truth Social post, Mr Farage told the Press Association: “I am quite shocked just to hear that. That is over the top in every single way.
“Yes of course he wants to threaten – to get them to the negotiating table. But those words are… they ‘re way too far.”

In the same year as the book was originally released there was an American documentary 'The Year Punk Broke' highlighting the commercial breakthrough of Nirvana and featuring Sonic Youth amongst others. Some great music of course, but a whole other vibe than the scene in 1976-77
