Apologies in advance, but I can't resist. The retirement of Craig Miles means we can put a line under this 'quiz' question: What do Ashwell Prince, Charlie Macdonell, Daryl Mitchell, Dan Lawrence, Alex Davies & Steve Davies have in common? They have all be run out by Miles in first-class cricket.

No clue why your captain and England international is not taking tnat.

Burnham is very lucky to have unearthed Starmer's genie at exactly the time the public is realising Farage is a crook and Polanski is a twat.

Rob Ford@robfordmancs.bsky.social

The Farage drop is, I think, potentially more consequential medium term than the Burnham bounce (which will fade I'm sure). Reform are a one man band, built around Farage's brand. If he becomes toxic (a) he might quit politics (as he has before) (b) whether he does or not they have no plan B.

I don't usually write personal stuff, but a few words about my experience of being interviewed by Gary Stevenson. It started with a nice chat, comparing taste in hoodies... then the tone changed. He demanded to know why I'd deleted a tweet criticising him.

Per the new @privateeyenews.bsky.social, while David Sullivan was banned from contact with the women's and youth team, Karren Brady spoke in the Lords in support of an attempt to dilute the new football regulator's fit and proper test by narrowing the scope of civil cases that could be considered.

Unironically just want to read about Attenborough the channel controller who made snooker, saved rugby league and did stuff like this….

Chris Dillow@chrisdillow.bsky.social

It'd be nice if the BBC celebrated the life of old Wyggestonian David Attenborough by repeating one of his achievements - commissioning programmes of the quality of Civilization, Ascent of Man or Alastair Cooke's America.

Oh man. Such sad news. Our legend, the incredible Billy Bonds has died. How he never played for England is beyond me. What a player, what a man. R.I.P Bonzo ⚒️💔

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Labour MP Brian Leishman: "The Government has surrendered to... the vile rhetoric of Reform. Does the Home Secretary not see that removing the legal obligation to support asylum seekers who will be otherwise destitute, is as far away from Labour Party principles and values as we can get?"

Peter reposted

Now feeling quite embarrassed about wanting a Labour government for fifteen years. Feels like that period from the early eighties when I amassed every single Dire Straits album. Don’t know what I was thinking.

Read the thread 🧵 👇🏼

Michael Shaw@mrmichaelshaw.bsky.social

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset. This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI. Except... it's bollocks.

Periodically, this @pftompkins.bsky.social bit about the quality clientele he would encounter during his time working at a novelty hat shop will bubble up in my brain and then, having delighted me once again, will recede into the depths to await its next surprise visit...

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The New Yorker@newyorker.com

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Always amazed by people who have watch parties for their favourite TV shows. If I was ever forced to attend one, it would be remembered for me shouting ‘CAN EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE?’

Make that an hour. Proper performance from the team today and a drop of hope splashed into to the rather gloomy outlook. Might actually watch a football highlights programme later. #WHUNEW

West Ham proudly enter their 15th minute of being ahead this season. Presumably it'll be the 30th by the time we kick off again...

Peter reposted

Some seriously committed and determined performances from West Ham players there to see out the win. Fist pumps for tackles and fouls won from Bowen, Paquetá, Diouf + more since the 60th minute

Sam Tighe@stighefootball.bsky.social

That’s an especially impressive dominant period + goal from Paquetá considering West Ham are giving off some of the most cursed energy of all time
