Yet for year upon year Farage etc seemed to go on to QT erc unchallenged. I’d argue the BBC had a hand in *making* Reform. What’s interesting is the abrupt need by BBC, Sky etc to rightly hold these guys to account. What changed?

No better example of the death of monoculture than the volume of people who don’t know the Sam Fender & Olivia Dean song that’s broken the chart records. We’re all in our own algorithmic worlds now.

Every week you see “isolated” incidents that hint at the exact manner in which a Reform government would operate. I got two strikes on my account the last time I used an adjective to describe Reform’s actions and the capacity of anyone who may vote for them, so I’ll leave that part with you 😅

This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Was sad to see Paul Dobson died this month. His most famous goal only happened because a police dog bit a Torquay defender. The bite bought injury time. Dobson used it to equalise against Crewe Alexandra on the final day of 1986-87, keeping Torquay in the Football League by goal difference.

Always had a soft spot for Newcastle United. Good fans, great stadium. A club similar to Leeds in a lot of obvious ways - and if one team that isn’t Leeds was gonna get sovereign wealth and still end up on the floor…
