🥚 You know those days that we're all glad to mostly see the back of, when women had no choices, and we had even less? Those days which governments have been increasingly apologising for? Let's bring those back, yeah, says a Shadow minister in the UK www.neilobrien.co.uk/p/bring-back...

Bring back baby adoptions

More people could achieve their dreams, more women could get what they want, and more people could get to live - isn't it time to give women more choice?

Infantino's mistress scandal blew up in UEFA in 2011. I remember being told about it by a senior UEFA staffer who I met when they were all in town for the 2011 Champions League Final at Wembley. Good to see it finally get the light of day.

A friend was sent a picture by her mate in Canberra of junction with her names. The nearest I can find (by which I mean after 5 minutes googling) is a part of Mosman in Sydney where David Street and Boyle Street are 1.6km from each other.

Wow. They have plentiful tea and coffee in Whitehall meetings. Such a massive distinguishing feature from every other workplace or meeting room I've ever been in. What utter breathless nonsense. (from www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...)

By this point, access talks were already under way, taking place in the office of the cabinet secretary, Antonia Romeo, in 70 Whitehall, each lasting several hours and fuelled, insiders say, with plentiful supplies of tea and coffee.

I'm sure there's lots of reasons Brazil have been shit for a generation, but I can't help think the creeping presence of Bolsanaro whispering evangelical bollocks in the playing cohort is a part of it.

CAno Verde are so, so brave. Their playing out from the back is amazing and terrifying. I think it’s less having enormous balls of steel and more they’re playing without any fear whatsoever

Thinking of my mother today, who was forced to relinquish me, and lied to by the Catholic Church (who also lied to my adoptive parents). The PM's apology won't undo anything, but is welcome, and needed. 🥚

A really notable difference between African teams in the World Cup and European ones is the ability of the former to hit little chipped balls over opponents to a player out wide. The latter are unwilling to try to find a team mate when there's an opponent between them

I'm not saying that this stadium is full of CR7 fans more concerned with taking bloody pictures than actually watching, you know, the kind of people who football can do well without, but there wasn't a chorus of boos at the hydration break just now.

Andy Burnham used to be Chair of the organisation I worked for, Supporters Direct, latterly as CEO. I had to go and meet him in Westminster, in the Pugin tea room. We chatted for a bit but then I could tell from his eyes that someone was moving through the room and was behind my left shoulder.

There's a long history of UK politicians doing absolutely nothing to actively stop loyalist pogroms in Northern Ireland, so Starmer is at least on brand with more than merely his own woeful record of inactivity

Jesus, Everton are as blunt as the knives kitchen in our drawers which we got when we got married 19 years' ago. Fairly solid defensively, but absolutely nothing up front. Are they always this feeble?
