One thing is clear. Keir Starmer is singularly incapable of standing up to Donald Trump.

.@ZackPolanski: The US & Israel attack is illegal and unprovoked, the defence secretary & the govt won't condemn it, we have a PM who is incapable of standing up to Trump, and the worry is that we'll be pulled into another illegal war. Spot on.

'Aren't Arabs terrified? Don't Arab women weep when their children are bombed?' Tony Benn remains as relevant as ever.

We’ve been warning for years that this is where AI was leading: mass surveillance, automated bombings, the imprisonment of freethinkers. It’s urgent that we collectively boycott OpenAI and ChatGPT. They are building the engines of our oppression.
Sam Altman@sama

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

Brahim Diaz attempting a Panenka penalty, with the last kick of the game, after all of that drama at the end of the game, is hands down the most braindead thing I’ve ever seen on a football pitch. Nothing else even comes close.

I’m being deadly serious, SOMEONE needs to speak out. The state of flux Manchester United are now in fucking terrifies me. We’re floating. Direction-less. International players look scared shitless, mediocre players are starting every week, there was a silent acceptance of defeat among fans at Old Trafford all evening. We don’t even know who our “caretaker” manager is, let alone who’s going to be in charge next season. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox, whoever it may be. ADDRESS US. What’s the plan? What direction are we going in? What are you even looking for in the next manager? I can’t remember feeling this hopeless about the club. I don’t want false assurances, I want a brutal, honest statement or interview that tells us what on earth we’re getting behind. The cowardly silence is deafening.

What Marcus Rashford had at United was a certain sense of purity and communal proximity pretty much gone from the professional game. A throwback to the old days when local youngsters joined their local clubs and eventually grew into local heroes, scoring goals and helping poor kids on days off. Not much value should be placed on nostalgia or nostalmania - such notions are often filled with forgery ans false memory - but in Rashford’s case, it was warm and pleasant, as nostalgia ought to be. That dream was brutally destroyed, by the harsh realities of today’s football and today’s United: poor results, toxic fandom & the rage-baiting media complex. They didn’t destroy the idea of Rashford despite his sense of purity; they destroyed it because of his sense of purity. He was the perfect target for their cynical hot takes, engagement traps and reach boosters. Opposites naturally attract; nothing like dragging a decent man through vile mud. And, yes, it was also destroyed by years of mishandling, misprofiling and miscoaching, robbing him of the opportunity to become the kind of a player he could have been. Is he a perfect player? No. Is he a perfect player for Amorim’s game model? Doesn’t seem to be. In a pure footballing sense, the decision to sell works for both sides. But on a broader cultural level, this represents a devastating defeat for Manchester United. And it’s a brutal verdict on how the club was ran for 10 years. Clubs sell players. Club sell their academy players. Clubs even sell their best academy players. But not United. And not Rashford. With Rashford and United, it really wasn’t supposed to end this way.

Marcus Rashford had a day off today so he returned to his old primary school, Button Lane, south Manchester, and handed out 420 Christmas presents to all the pupils. It was a long-planned event, eliciting delight from the children. One boy scarcely more than four years old, had a special message for the Manchester United striker. “Thank you for the food as well, Marcus.” Rashford will leave United one day, possibly in the January window given the mood music inside Carrington, but his influence will remain with many children across the country following his ongoing work tackling child food poverty. “It was emotional to hear that, 100%,” Rashford told me of the four-year-old’s words of thanks. “I don’t like to see kids go through what I went through growing up so as many kids as I can help I will. That's why the programme needs to go on for as long as possible and it needs to keep improving.” Wherever you stand on the Rashford debate, and he certainly generates headlines, he has been a force for good in so many children’s lives. One of the Button Lane teachers said that Rashford’s present will be the only one some of the 420 kids receive this Christmas. Another pointed through the window to the 3G five-a-side Rashford funded. Some balance is required in the current Rashford debate. I was shown some of the DMs he receives on a regular basis and they are utterly despicable. There are rumours of a lack of professionalism. “I do feel misunderstood but I’m fine with it. I’m a very simple person. I love football. That’s been my life from the beginning.” At 27, and having scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for United (and 17 in 60 for England), Rashford remains a huge talent, and will be in demand, possibly from Spain, when he leaves United. Yes, he could do more on the field, certainly out of possession. Yes, he was dropped from Sunday’s match-day squad against Manchester City by Ruben Amorim, who questioned his application in training. “It’s disheartening to be left out of a Derby,” Rashford replied, “but it’s happened, we won the game so let's move on. It’s disappointing but I’m also someone as I’ve got older I can deal with setbacks. What am I going to do about it? Sit there and cry about it. Or do my best the next time I’m available.” He awoke this morning to headlines detailing United’s desire to sell him. I ask Rashford if he’s staying or going? “For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.” All of his words were prefaced with respect for the club which has been his home for almost 20 years. “When I leave it's going to be ‘no hard feelings’. You’re not going to have any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That’s me as a person. "If I know that a situation is already bad I'm not going to make it worse. I've seen how other players have left in the past and I don't want to be that person. When I leave I'll make a statement and it will be from me.” From the heart as he’ll always be a Red? “Yes! 100%. 100%.” He’s 27, peak time for a player, combining experience and athleticism, and he should be embedded in a team, creating an even bigger legacy. “I’m halfway through my career,” Rashford replies. “I don’t expect my peak to be now. I've had nine years so far in the Premier League and that’s taught me a lot, that’s helped me grow as a player and as a person. So I don't have any regrets from the last nine years. I won’t have any regrets going forward because I take things day by day and sometimes bad things happen, sometimes good things happen. I just try and keep a fine balance.” The best is yet to come? “100%. That's my mentality.” He craves an England return and chance of making the 2026 World Cup. “That still excites me. It's playing for your country in the biggest competition in the world. I've had the chance to do it before (Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022) and it's an unbelievable experience. If I got the opportunity again, I'll try and grab it with both hands.” Even though he has scored three times for Amorim, the new head coach’s 3-4-2-1 system does not appear to suit Rashford. The player himself makes a point about his adaptability, whether left wing, No 9 or No 10. “I have traits to play in all three positions. Some positions are more natural to me, some positions I have to train more and do a bit more tactical (work). The left side suits me the best.” But Amorim doesn’t play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. He plays with two 10s. “The left 10 still suits me but you have to adapt your game. The biggest skill-set is adaptability. People might not see it but eventually they'll see I’ve played in plenty of different positions under all the managers.” If his days under Amorim look numbered, Rashford will pursue his dreams elsewhere. The last time Rashford returned to Button Lane, he was asked by a young girl “what’s your biggest achievement?” He replied, “I haven't achieved it yet.” That attitude echoes his love of “Relentless”, the book by the American mindset guru Tim Grover. Rashford’s not fallen out of love with football, he’s still aspiring to achieve things in the sport that’s his world. “Definitely, regardless of what gets said about me I have my own dreams. I’ve achieved parts of it. But I’m not at where I want to be. But the problem is when you get there, you create another thing. It’s a cycle that never stops. There’s not really an end point.” Just the pursuit of excellence. Rashford needs to intensify that pursuit. He has the talent. And it looks like that talent will move away from #MUFC. He will still return to Button Lane. Marcus Rashford won’t forget where he came from. Nor will he forget United.
