PM’s contortions over the Manchester City verdicts have landed him with an early test of what he wants to stand for. Realpolitik, or real values?

RIP Dolly Parton.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

Annual reminder that the Community Shield used to be called the Charity Shield, but so little money actually went to charity that the government told them to either start making serious contributions or change the name. So they changed the name.

What is it about white people that makes them so violent? Should we tolerate white culture in the UK? Is the fact he was arrested without violence evidence of two-tier policing? Should white people still be given housing when non-whites remain homeless? Will white leaders condemn this? etc.

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron. 10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was. He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.
