This genuinely made me laugh out loud today
HOW AM I DRIVING?
HOW DOES AN ENGINE EVEN WORK?
HOW CAN A LOVING GOD CAUSE SUCH AGONY

Not quite a serious answer, you just need to look at the numbers arrested following previous summer disorders to show that there is a willingness to get into those groups. Today police were not prepared to respond in that way, that response needs lots of officers.

Yes Villa have held a few concerts and will have Ozfest next summer. They are currently rebuilding the North Stand to increase capacity to over 50k. We know how we need to grow. But at the same time Villa have tiny debt and have made money on players almost every year.

Oh no, the irony is that those fans buy the beer, watch the shows and then you give all the money back to the teams by buying their players. West Ham, Newcastle and Man City have invested in their own teams and got to see Taylor Swift or some NFL.

It's not a problem, there might just be a danger you end up as a London Music venue with a football club attached.

He has spent the summer with the England squad who have been discussing their money and probably feels he is being under paid. Then watched as Konsa and Rogers disappear off to more money and long contracts. Course he wants what they are getting.

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

‘They can articulate resentment+exploit grievance,but they cannot cure the ills that fuel that unhappiness.This, ultimately, is what unites Farage with Trump+indeed with those 33 “nobodies” who fought the byelection in Clacton.They are all protest candidates.It’s just that some of them get elected’

They will still agree things like bonuses, playing time, utilisation, possible future clauses should the clubs want to make it a future transfer. I think a big one would be agreement that he is included in the champions league squad.

Not necessarily, the player will still need to agree the separate personal terms of the loan. I think.

I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.

I think this can be widened to include the rise of home working, humans are designed to be communal and sociable. As much as we enjoy not commuting, we also miss out on not being together in a workplace with a common aim.

Best overview of the current situation. Rogers is the only sore point but 117million is good balm, plus Johan M looks like a good replacement.

The editor in chief of The Economist referring here to the AfD’s leader as a “perfectly thoughtful person“ instead of what she truly is - a driver and enabler of German fascism - is a huge part of the problem.

All transfers are risky, this has the potential to be v good, a young talent who has ended up playing under 6 managers in 3 years has not been given the environment to shine. Price is low compared to others (Somerville) and we can pay the bulk of the cash next year, more to spend now.

You have to trust that there are other good signings out there to replace him. It is testament to Emery that a player picked up from a relegated team on a free is now worth 35 mil at 30. That said, great talent and will be a loss.

I think the issue is going to be linked to the issue of a child being u18 in the children's act and much linked legislation. The other consideration is that much of the evidence of the risks of social media extend up to 18 and older.

You can make an arrest under s24 of PACE and use reasonable force to do so. Clarity is needed on the term "decked" here. Self defence is not the only power police officers use to justify use of force.

No, but sounds lovely. However equally Zack has never been a police officer who has had to disarm and arrest a violent man who has potentially already murdered two people with a knife. Here he welcomes and actively encourages scrutiny of these actions. But checking council tax on a boat?

Then he will be fine, there will likely be emails he has sent asking the council to clarify. Or not. Look not the end of the world, but it just picks at the idea he might be loose with the details. I am sure there would be people at the London assembly he could have asked for guidance.
