It is a colossal political failure to have encouraged the UAE to buy up swathes of the British economy and prized cultural assets like Manchester City while evidence of its greed and brutality and contempt for the rule of law was all around. Two @fairsqprojects.bsky.social reports worth reading 👇

He’s concerned because he welcomed investment from an obviously corrupt foreign state backed operation.

Went to a packed screening of Cruising at Glasgow Film Theatre tonight. Five minutes in a young guy stood up, proclaimed loudly ‘nah, this is too gay for me’ and left to laughter and a smattering of applause.

Also worth noting that every success they’ve enjoyed since is fruit of the poison tree. Nothing they’ve won is legitimate. Not a single thing. The Lance Armstrong of football.

I was living in Manchester when City went down to the ‘third tier.’ Remember fans - good friends of mine - singing ‘are the Reds going to Grimsby are they fuck?’ Those guys’ll be fine. Fuck everyone else involved.

Another novel that kept me up past 2am to finish. It’s stunning. Literary fiction that drifts into Patricia Highsmith and James M Cain territory, even melodrama. #BookSky

Saint Etienne were tremendous at Barrowlands last night. A band me and my OH loved even before we loved each other, and have seen together many times over the last three decades, none of them better than this, their last ever show in Scotland.

This is a strange novel - the relentless precision of the writing makes it an uncomfortable, even chilling experience throughout. The central characters are a little younger than me, like a half a generation away, but they feel incredibly true to life. #BookSky

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

On their podcast Jimmy Mulville and Peter Fincham said referring to AI generated content as slop amounted to snobbery. PF previously said he can see positives in using AI to replace expensive time consuming 2nd unit footage. Not exactly comforting to hear from two high level indie TV executives.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

I feel it’s the British Establishment in action. Public schools and Oxbridge are the unquestioned centre of the universe and if their integrity is compromised, especially by an outsider, there will be hell to pay. Hell. Institutional wrath brought down on a vulnerable individual.
