Michael Carrick will 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 of Manchester United for their trip to Chelsea this weekend. Sources have told BBC Sport that Carrick will be given the opportunity to turn things around at Old Trafford following a dismal start to the season.

Oh Ocado, you know me not 🤣

What’s that you say? Liz has a new book out which even the Telegraph is saying is even more unhinged than the last one? Wonderful, I’ll post this then.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

When I think about Brexit harms I think about @gailmyerscough.co.uk and the damage it did to her ability to sell to customers in Europe. She has exactly the sort of small business politicians all love to say they support.

England need Pakistan to win…so they’re all out for 110 🤦🏼‍♀️ #PAKvSL 🏏

I genuinely don’t understand the point of this, to me it’s really ugly, it makes me want to look away. I do accept that I may be in a minority.

This is so full of joy, totally uplifting 💙

Well, the company I work for had the administrators in to lock the doors this afternoon. No money for wages this month and staff will be creditors in the liquidation. CEO is MIA. Magic. If anybody needs a finance Compliance Manager in Manchester and surrounding, or remote, I'm available.

Who's gonna tell him?

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Just to get rid of her

If weird things are happening with your feed/posts loading right now, it's a spooky Halloween thing, definitely not a mysterious glitch that we're investigating

GOP Rep. Randy Fine says he's been open to deporting Melania Trump and Elon Musk if it turns out they lied on their paperwork

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

The rest are equally furious, Trump is unsurprisingly unapologetic. Quite the quote: ‘One attendee, Bishop William Joensen of Des Moines, wrote afterward that “I wish I had been more shrewd and less simple, like those who exploited our meeting for partisan political purposes.” ‘

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

I've always believed Oxford Street could be so much more than a road. Today we begin a new chapter as the nation’s high street goes traffic free, creating a place where people can spend time, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the very best of our city.

Imagine an American Archbishop having to release a statement admitting that he was conned by Trump and Trump’s administration 🫪

A mathematical conundrum for @helenbennett.bsky.social. If Fluffy the Flamingo is standing #ononeleg and Fluffy's brother Freddy is also standing #ononeleg does that make #ontwolegs, thereby disqualifying me from today's #BirdoftheDay? #birds #photography

Disgraceful decision & exactly what Putin wants. Russia also in FIFA U15 World Cup. As states responsible for multiple war crimes,civilian murders & genocide,Russia,Belarus & Israel should be excluded from the global sporting community.

Your Honour, the basis of my client’s case is that his voters are incredibly dumb…”

Just got followed by this absolutely pathetic balloon, pretending to be Jason Tindall. Joined 19 minutes ago and already following hundreds. Followed me via Man Utd Starter Packs. An inadequate with no life. Reported and blocked.

Pal just asked me what I think caused the biggest problem at Man Utd since Sir Alex announced his retirement. For me it’s no contest, the loss of David Gill was catastrophic and we’ve never recovered from that. Woodward and now this bunch of cowboys have caused immense damage.

Absolutely disgusting, but what can we expect from an adjudicated rapist and a congenital liar?

Amended! Blame @dannycinnamon99.bsky.social 😂

My predicted team for today’s match. #MUFC

Hmm… 🏏 #PAKvENG

I remember visiting that place with my parents a long time ago, and noticing that a number of visitors were in fact pilgrims (they weren't hard to spot, believe me). Razing it to the ground felt like the best option then, and still does now.
