@SoozUK To be honest, this is not so much a bacon sandwich moment, as a gammon moment...

"While running for Prime Minister on a platform of national security I had to publicly apologise for disrepecting D-day veterans."

Everyone always forgets that in the Emperor's New Clothes that *after* the child has pointed out the nakedness the adults all carry on as before anyway because it's too awkward to stop and confront the truth.

I see that Paul Scully has claimed Sparkhill is a no-go area...
Which is interesting because I often work there in the community and I manage to go there without incident...

Got something in my eye listening to this...
In all seriousness though, the conductor missed an opportunity on being introduced, to say "Ta".
I'll miss Steve Wright.

@RossUglem @TampaBayTre @PFF @PackerReport66 I'm coming to the view that GB can go D heavy because 1. they have fewer obvious holes on offense, but also 2. because defense by its very nature needs more rotational pieces of good quality - i.e. a C normally plays every snap, but NTs opposite him need to rotate...

ICYMI: #MockDraftMonday was great today.
I ended up trading around and coming away with a defensive haul for new DC Jeff Hafley, then broke down @TampaBayTre’s #Packers choices in his post-Super Bowl mock on @PFF.

I think this quote by McWilliams is pertinent when we consider some of the regurgitative hate and aggression we witness from members of a group on this platform who seem trapped by anger towards us.

@Samfr It's a mark of how arcane and mysterious the workings of Westminster can be, that I read the original tweet a great many times before determining there was a misprint, rather than 'tobtolerate' being to do with an obscure financial policy procedure.
English
From a former Treasury permanent secretary (and completely correct).
Nick Macpherson@nickmacpherson2
Over the next 9 months, we will have tobtolerate many an "official Treasury" costing of Opposition policy. Since time immemorial, whatever the party in power, these costings have had little if any credibility. Political advisers determine the assumptions. #rubbishinrubbishout

The grim thing is that normally most in Westminster wouldn’t have batted an eyelid at this. It’s only because Brianna’s mother was in Parliament it’s being picked up. Trans people have slowly become the butt of political jokes under several PMs. This should be a wake up call.
English
@enobnala @lewis_goodall I honestly think that ship has sailed, any of them with designs on the leadership will let Sunak be the fall guy for the upcoming election and then look to pick up the pieces afterwards.
English
Another example of terrible political judgment for Sunak, just after the Morgan Rwanda bet.
You can bet on this- swift apology incoming.

Rishi Sunak attempts to attack Sir Keir Starmer over how Labour 'defines a woman' as the mum of Brianna Ghey, a trans teenager who was murdered, was sat in the Commons listening to prime minister's questions A shocked Sir Keir replies: 'Of all the weeks to say that... Shame'

Jesus Christ. Before we even get to how despicable they are, HOW ARE THEY SO BAD AT THE ACTUAL POLITICS OF THIS!?!?!
Ben Kentish@BenKentish
Downing Street doubles down on Rishi Sunak’s trans joke. PM’s Press Secretary: “It’s legitimate to point out the number of U-turns the Leader of the Opposition has made.”

@mr_pete_redfern That'd be odds on at this point...

Should have gone to the bookies this morning and put a grand on Rishi Sunak publicly taking a shit with his clothes on
