The actions of an honest person with nothing to hide

NEW: Can Europe survive? And if so, how? 📽️ Watch the inaugural event of the 2026 European Week at King's, featuring a keynote from Professor Timothy Garton Ash 🗣️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydtF...

It's astonishing that a BBC news presenter goes to bat for a particular party, even if it is an American party. I don't think I've ever seen this done so obviously

I remember when pundits were lining up to say Harry Kane shouldn't go to Bayern Munich, he should instead go to Man Utd so he can get the Premier League goalscoring record www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Jacob Murphy: for 89 minutes he plays like he's wearing clown shoes then he'll do something like this

Far right poster boys taking a beating this year. Hope > despair every time

A great start. As with Hungary the challenge is what comes next. This is just the beginning www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Barnes is playing like he had four beers before the game #nufc

This should end the prospect of any future government contracts with Musk companies. Neither he nor his companies can be trusted

I'm doing this to justify my stockpiling of USB and ethernet cables

He's been rummaging deep in the basement of Labour HQ and rumours are that he may have located the party's spine

Christ. Newcastle play football today #nufc

I haven't seen this show but I've seen him a few times and it's really impressive to see him work live

European countries might want think about a similar ban on Tesla's, given the whole Starshield debacle

Once again, we need to stop equating the ability to gain massive wealth with any sort of intelligence. He is quite clearly stupid in many ways

Damning. What does this say about the sector at large? It's not like there's a lot of jobs going so people are deciding their future lies outside of HE

Raising the cost of consumer goods during a cost of living crisis? It's a bold strategy, Andy. It sounds harsh, but I think we need to stop trying to save high streets in their current form. The ship has sailed. Reimagine how they can be useful public spaces www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

There's always money to find novel ways to blow things up

Like a scene from Blue Velvet

Goodbye, Lenin presidency

A self-respecting Democratic Party would be compiling a case for treason for when this guy is no longer protected

There's definitely a Goodbye, Lenin situation going on in the White House

Vinted is full of stolen goods! Either that, or there's a shocking amount of people who lose receipts for their clothes on the way home from the shops

My biggest achievement of the year was getting a parking fine cancelled. I even got one cancelled by Brighton Council once, which is like the final boss of parking control

I feel like this needs to be reflected in performance criteria which invariably demand grant income for promotions

My god. This implies there will be Amol Rajan merch! The jacket! He's going to sell the jacket, isn't he

Sorry but it's not a lottery: if it were the link between how hard things are for kids and where they live would be random. But it's not. True, there are some poorer places where things aren't too bad. But overall there's a significant correlation between living in a poorer area and poor provision.

I'm sure of the answer, but it's not one most of Europe will like

I repeat this a lot about Burnham, and Labour more generally. Left wing politicians need to be prepared to get into some fights

This is old school refereeing in Leeds-Man Utd. Every decision going Man Utd's way. Football heritage

Don't worry Crystal Palace fans, Dr. Newcastle will pay a visit next week to cure all your ills

Imperial rule in all but name

Rather than hackers or extremists exploiting AI, I think the most immediate threat from LLMs is that they gum up the state. Already, various arms of the state are reporting a massive increase in demand for their services as AI makes it easier to complete forms and submit applications

You gotta hand to them

Had to check this is real. It's yours for £4.99

This is wishful thinking by pundits. It wasn't even particularly intimidating at Anfield. I don't think football journalists have quite understood how much most supporters have been beaten into apathy by the Premier League's collective greed

I love that he doesn't even pretend to respect his supporters

All the expensive Lego sets I like looking at at the Leg shop, and an all-weather athletics track for my running club

It's always slightly odd reading stuff like this as a football fan. The idea that a star player wouldn't want to join one of the best teams to almost guarantee a title is pretty alien. But in general, US sports are just far more concerned with competitive balance

*frantically digging through my barrel of apples* There was to be at least one good one in here!

I don't think anything good ever comes from making welfare systems more complex. Good for a few headlines, I suppose

I could write the conclusions of that investigation right now just based on who is on the panel. Grifters and ghouls the lot of them

I don't think anyone wants to reckon with the implications of the president of the US being insane

It should be the lead story for every news outlet. The US has betrayed Ukraine for a couple of hours worth of diesel and, in turn, increased the threat to every European country. The consequences for Musk's companies should be swift and brutal. My guess is governments will chicken out

I'm at the point where I think we should give up on grading, move to a pass/fail system and evaluate students on evidence of learning in the classroom, assuming we aren't going back to closed book exams

Sophisticated recording device hidden in our offices

Eddie Howe would have that Man Utd side shredding the league for around two seasons

One for you @aphclarkson.bsky.social

Bazou Toure looks like the only player who can play passes around the box, the only one who wants to try #nufc
