You should see what our David has done with his latest buy to let. A tired old 1930s detached. He's modernised the lot. New plastic windows, properly insulated. The original front garden was a maintenance nightmare so he's tarmacked it over. Parking for four cars now. He's painted the brickwork a smart grey. Tenants love it. The neighbours aren't happy but they should see it on a sunny day. A sight for sore eyes. Some people just have vision. 🇬🇧

Russian commanders using physical violence and torture against their own soldiers. The men were reportedly punished for refusing to participate in a "meat assault."

@prodnose But finds the time to write about it an awful lot.

I have absolutely no interest in what is going on in the Premier League. It's a media vanity project. Signed sealed delivered like a movie franchise. Winners no more significant to most of us than naming the new Dr Who. Have your headlines and parades. Fuck you. Also: West Ham!

If I told you how many times I’ve watched every single episode of this world-class Comedy, you’d either pity me or think me mad. It is, quite simply, one of my favourite things in life. THE THICK OF IT (2005-12) It debuted 21yrs ago today.

THAT BACKHEEL FROM ALAN HUDSON OH MY FUCKING WORD.

Min wage is much lower fraction of median earnings in e.g. Oxford and Reading than Doncaster and Wigan. In former still just 1 in 10 earn at or close to minimum. In latter it's 1 in 4 or more. Min wage is *82%* of median in Doncaster. V different effects in local labour markets.

Starmer and Reeves are not kidding when they say this political uncertainty causes economic damage. The only “reset” being achieved at the moment is higher borrowing costs. Result? We’re all worse off. So deeply depressing.

Leaning into a bright, retro pop feel, Saint Etienne shifted direction with “You’re In A Bad Way”. It was released in 1993 and later featured on So Tough that same year, marking a move away from their earlier club driven sound.
