not really. it’s not for the prime minister to be involved with a decision to prosecute

tbh i wouldn’t have any issue with removing u23s from the concept of quotas at all and certainly don’t wish him badly. But at some point the league has to co-align with the national team. That’s the way it works everywhere else.

depends on which age group. if you play for a national team after you turn 17 you are tied to that country. The issue isn’t him, it’s the proliferation of players who can’t play for GB taking up local player slots.

not saying Lions are at fault. Saying the league is at fault.

And we're back! Is there another basketball podcast where the first shout out is for County Mayo's historic All-Ireland success? Probably not. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I cover all the action from opening weekend in SLB plus the usual meanderings off topic. It's SNB S7! linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

ok. but would there actually be sufficient money to run political parties in that situation? would that be a good or bad thing? Is there not a better argument for each party to be publically funded with a flat amount?

This is the only story on the BBC website regarding Reform. You like to call a spade a spade...the national public service broadcaster that we all pay for is ignoring the biggest political scandal since party gate....why?

no they aren’t. nothing to do with the batting team

even if that’s true (which it certainly isn’t in newcastle) it’s viewed as a badge of honour up here.

i don’t agree. these alerts are regular features in the US, particular in relation to potential weather events. I think the dangers are there and it was worthwhile

if the aim was to raise awareness and visibility it’s paid off 100%. Social media demonstrates this

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
it shifts the concept of early release to one of punishment for crime as opposed to risk management. Up until now early release has been denied to defendants where victims are still alive and understandably fearful. If it moves to a gravest harm test isn’t that double counting?

It's funny how no-one ever asks where the money is coming from when you announce a cut in immigration.

convicted (not cautioned) for fraud by glade representation. Requires deliberate dishonesty. Disqualifying

a competent refs obtains and then retains control. In the first off he did neither.

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
i think top flight is v kind after the 1st half

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
which is why having a competent ref might have made a difference?

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
wow. just wow. utterly lost control.

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
you can’t give a penalty if the ball isn’t in play

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
he was playing the left side of two holding midfielders. Doing exactly what he was meant to to create 3v2s on that side.

a literally inaccurate use to be fair

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
that’s not hyperbole. it’s just an inaccurate use of the word literally.

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
except for the first half when he won a corner. So not literally at all.

David Forrester @shieldsbrief.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
he played with him 18 months ago.
