Anyone else clocking that the right the world over cannot accept defeat. They profess to be for democracy when attacking the liberal left but threaten all sorts if they don’t win. Like Trump Bolsonaro is not acknowledging defeat and Netanyahu is threatening the same.

Anyone doubting how successful a multi culture Britain can be should watch Back to Black at 20- an anniversary concert of Amy Winehouse’s 2006 album which screened on BBC 2 on Saturday. Available on Iplayer.

The Sunday Times still doesn’t get it . It’s underlying theme that cutting public spending leads to growth is now so outmoded and plain wrong but it still pushes it, to the extent that it has contributing articles saying the same from Sunak and Badenoch with no apology from either for the last govt.

2:4 so far. With victories for progressives in Brazil and Serbia we now await the contest in Israel and mid-terms in the US.

They wanted Amorim out now Utd players want Carrick gone. Player power at Utd is off the scale. When are folks going to wake up to what is really wrong-the gradual undermining of the position of manager at a football club- now called Coach or Head Coach. Ferguson wouldn’t have stood for it.

I wouldn’t have had Fernandes on the bench let alone in the team.

So just 2 bone-fide midfielders for us v Brighton today. Why? Why does Iraola think 2 attacking midfielders is enough?

Asking today’s players to show humility (as Man Utd’s manager is doing) is like asking the same of Marie Antoinette. Too late to shut the stable door now- horse(s) have well and truly bolted. If you tell prospective players they’re coming to the biggest club it breeds complacency and entitlement.

The rw press supports paedophiles. Trump supports paedophiles.

Trump says First Lady, Melania wants to save children. Presumably for him?

The royals are a circus. You have Charles and William charging the state for using “their” land , Harry and Meghan- are they royals or not? Andrew the paedo is still not facing trial as the police can’t get their act together. Meanwhile the whole lot of them are fleecing us, the British taxpayers.

Talk about marking your own homework -peers in the House of Lords are voting - wait for it- on replacing the HoL! Only in Britain can our antiquated (non) constitution throw this up.

I never liked Austen anyway. The only good novel she wrote was Persuasion. And now after this storm I like her even less.

Why have the BBC apologised to Trump if it doesn’t accept it has made a mistake? What have they apologised for?

Britain together with its European allies and NATO members must now call out the US. Trump is feeling immune from criticism and thinks he can do anything. So he sends Wiktoff to butter up Putin. Like some of the british establishment wanting to appease Hitler.

Players at Man Utd are taking to airwaves in order to protect themselves. For years the players have been immune to criticism and this is their way of deflecting critcism . This doesn’t mean I think Carrick is innocent. He is plainly out of his depth.

Witkoff describing Putin as an humanitarian has got to represent the time when other western leaders call out the Trump administration. What is now v apparent is one of two things. Trump truly is a friend of dictators or that both Putin and Netanyahu have something on him- or both.

Problem with appointing ex players as Man Utd appear to do every so often is they are doing so based on the their playing career and not them as managers. Carrick has no gravitas and nor did Solskjaer. He “knows Man Utd” seems to be the owners criteria. Not enough. Not anywhere near enough.

When are Man United going to learn not to appoint ex players as managers and maybe, just maybe their players are also to blame. 0-4 at Como at the moment.

Scottish Power advert states it produces 100% renewable energy. That just means that the renewables it produces are 100% renewable and not that all the energy it produces are just renewables. It’s like burger chains saying it’s 100% beef- that doesn’t mean all the burger is just 100% beef.
