@webberross.bsky.social You mentioned not knowing about Craig Maskell (former record signing) - when I think of him, I think of this kit...Classic 90's www.oldfootballshirts.com/en/teams/r/r...
@webberross.bsky.social - discussion point for your podcast. This week has encapsulated what being a RFC fan is like currently - entertaining home draw vs. lucky/gutsy away win...How did you both feel after each game? Would you prefer a run of entertaining draws or a run of wins like Burton?..

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Rising wages, falling waiting lists: an unpopular take, but in a few ways, life in Britain has been (slowly) improving over the past year. But it doesn’t feel that way — and that’s a problem for Labour Free to read: 🔗 www.thetimes.com/article/33c0...

Nothing better sums up the threat to our democracy and country than this far right cosplaying champion of the working class lolling about in a Belgravia club and the Sunday Times giving him a megaphone to honk out his ruinous Trumpian populism to a public tired of govt failure (that he helped cause)

Because they're terrified of accusations they're betraying Brexit. It's the same in so many areas. They're hiding their successes and yelling about their weaknesses.
It is remarkable how little effort Starmer has put into making the case for his renegotiation. No “Bloomberg” speech, no policy papers. An interview three days before deal day is the first outing of substance. If his pro-EU coalition gives him no credit for it, it’s because hes asked for none.

not sure I recall Nigel Farage being so criticised for his repeated absence from EU fisheries meetings when he was an MEP & could represent British interests, or how his Brexit passion project has sold out British farming & how he’d do it again for a US trade deal
British firms will be able to bid for the new €150bn EU defence fund after the UK makes concessions on fishing quotas

Trump pauses aid to Ukraine and is easing sanctions on Russia. I think it's safe to say whose side he's on. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trump-...

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.
NEW: Yvette Cooper rules out a youth mobility scheme between the UK and EU: "That's not the right starting point for us at all." Brussels is demanding one as part of the government's "reset" of relations with the bloc.
