@TonyJuniper …and mowing a very neat looking lawn (if that’s your thing) with a manual mower

Looks nice there doesn’t it. No litter. Plastic bottles, disposable cups & much else of what we needlessly consume had not been foisted upon us. Somehow people managed without all of that. How about uninventing the throwaway society?

@matthewsyed Quite a lot of Reform voters are mildly to very racist

Reform voters are racist apparently. As soon as I saw this insult to millions of British people (one of the least racist nations on earth) I suspected it was from an academic. It’s impossible to exaggerate how western universities became overrun with woke ideology

@jamesAjourno Thanks ! Turnout can be a hard stat to dig out sometimes

This is the turnout for the Local Elections along with the party that controls the seats going into the elections. Turnout is above 50 per cent in Caversham Heights and Emmer Green wards #LocalElections #rdguk

On a couple of bus stops (nr. entrances of University & RBH) in and near Redlands Ward in Reading, Berkshire. #MayElections #UKLocalElections @reading_greens ?

@lawrencenewport All additional urinals are welcome. Would be great to have an NLS

Do we really have to have these? And do they have to look like this?

@AdamFulwell_ I oppose VAR. Hate it

I genuinely don’t think fans oppose VAR, they oppose the clowns who operate it. Every international tournament the English officials are shown up. Standards are rock bottom.

@KeithJo95197734 @AaronBastani Hard to be exact, but in my view it’s some of Reform and some of Tories

Wild few days for Green Party: Win first ever by-election. Pass 200,000 members. Pull to within 3% of Reform in a national poll - & 2% ahead of Labour.

@TennisChannel Shame that in the tv coverage you couldn’t see the ball ?!? Need a different court colour

It feels good to be a longhorn and win in Austin ✨ Peyton Stearns earns her cowboy hat 🤠👏 #ATXOpen

@goonerm82 @TheACCnz It does look like yips, because the basic action looks pretty good. Looks like he used to be able to bowl

@TheACCnz Yips. Not fun

@SteB777 Most economists are also economically illiterate

This is more than dreadful, and it illustrates the danger of economists, in politics, where they know the price of everything, and the value of nothing, Generally, economists are ecologically illiterate, and are a danger to society.

@implausibleblog Just more centrist guff really. There may be serious people in the centre but the real world has passed them by. We need new, radical ideas

Ken Clarke, "We've started #BBCQT with personality, not immigration, the economy, etc" "This is because people are angry and disillusioned with politics and people" "There has never been a time where the Conservative party and the Labour party have performed so badly in government that they're both deeply unpopular and disliked" "Both the Conservative and Labour parties have to concentrate on getting back to being serious parties, centre ground, that can convince people of their honesty and their competence" "Then we can get back to sensible political debates" "They're both deeply unpopular that's why people are voting for Reform UK and other parties, who don't have enough serious people or enough serious ideas to govern a country" "The sooner the Labour party and the Conservative party stop diverting themselves by plotting against their leaders, changing their leaders every 5 minutes" "I do hope that Kemi Badenoch in my party is getting on with the serious business of work on policy and strategy" "We're all living day to day with opinion polls and headlines which are all pointless. The election is 4 years away" "Events nationally and internationally will give us a whole new agenda"

@TimesRadio @hugorifkind @Dannythefink @pollymackenzie Danny comes over as the most intelligent. The rest seem fairly idiotic, and lack the imagination to comprehend the very large and fundamental shifts required for human society to have a chance of getting out of this mess

“He is basically turning the Greens into a red party.” Many people who voted Green in the last election “will absolutely hate” the direction Zack Polanski is now taking the party. 🗳️ How To Win An Election 🎧 pod.fo/e/3430a8 @HugoRifkind @Dannythefink @PollyMackenzie

@jonsopel @DerbyChrisW Russia and their clubs are banned from most (all?) sport at the moment. There is a case to ban Israel on similar grounds. And certainly grounds to objectively stop Maccabi Tel Aviv from travelling given their previous behaviour

There are a lot of clubs that have horrific, abusive and racist louts among the legitimate fans going to away matches. But how often do ALL the supporters get banned? Would you ban ALL England fans from travelling given what happened at the Euros final at Wembley or the rioting we’ve seen in tournaments abroad?

Interesting that @jonsopel is advocating for proven violent football hooligans. As a journalist he really should be more curious about the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. They are violent thugs and he wants to let them loose on Birmingham. Irresponsible to say the least.

@clint_27 @ryanmcquade77 You see it in Willa. Not a guess

@RichNP @ryanmcquade77 But you don't see that. You would have to just guess. Everyone except Bob gets their hero moment. Yeah!yeah! He is a dad but it would have been so satisfying to see him use that sniper he was carrying around. For this reason I am never rewatching this movie again

When I first saw Bob’s car coming around that corner, all I could say in my mind was “FUCK YES” and every time I’ve seen it since, I’m in awe of the shot! Incredible stuff!

@GuillemBalague @thetimes What’s Arteta learning from the NFL ?

From @thetimes today: “The Premier League is changing. Long balls are all the rage, the number of passes per game are at a 15-year low and the percentage of long throw-ins into the penalty area is more than double the number at any point in the past decade.” I don’t think it is changing, or better said, the bigger picture will eventually show that is not changing that much, but happy to discuss. I’d say those figures are circumstantial. Right now, the Premier League teams playing the positional game that is also played by Bayern, Barcelona, PSG, Real Madrid, basically all the big clubs in European football, are struggling for one reason or another. Chelsea are dealing with injuries. At Arsenal, Arteta is mixing the essence of positional play with other aspects of the game influenced by NFL and other sports. City are finding themselves again, but opponents are sitting much deeper against them, and Pep is trying to find ways to counterbalance that. Liverpool are facing similar setups and are starting to build new connections up front. Aston Villa didn’t strengthen much and are still rediscovering their rhythm. But once those teams find their flow again, we’ll return to a period dominated by positional play and higher passing numbers.
