Suspending my long boycott of this medium, which has reduced it to its knees, to announce that my history of cricket everyehere not forgetting Bhutan is out today. Order it now to avoid disappointment from Waterstones: bit.ly/42sO7Io or Amazon: bit.ly/41LD4dh

And hey, an incompetent timeserver with alcohol issues … that’s a Putin kind of guy! The Guardian capriciously refused my thoughts on the Starmer-Dotard relationship but fortunately you have read most of them here first and now the online journal Comment Central,

I think that the hold is financial not sexual and that Putin is the ultimate creditor of the Dotard’s mismanaged and indebted empire. However, there is a very tenable counter-theory that Putin does not need any specific leverage over the Dotard to turn him into his “useful idiot”

on terms of anonymity about the nature of Putin’s alleged hold over Dotard Trump. Personally, at level 2 point 5 in the hierarchy, one who has read actual books and not by me but by other people and even spoken to a few of their authors,

These notes and the ascent of global literature were interrupted again by a stroke. Like the one which consumed you all with anxiety some years ago it was not much of a stroke, more a push to midwicket than a full blooded straight drive

Fortunately, I had prepared in advance a fine exordium which follows.There’s been multiple speculation from conspiracy theorists, readers of actual books, serious authors of actual books, sources, well-informed sources and even sources with actual knowledge of the matter speaking

and it got the same reception as last time. I think they are too young to remember the speaking clock, the young lady with the cut glass accent and the pips every ten seconds.

An ambulance whisked me to the same hospital which treated the last one and when they dug out my old notes, I repeated my previous jest: As the speaking clock used to say “at the third stroke your… time… will be… up”,

but I recognized it at once when I had a funny turn and subsided to the bedroom floor startling Theo and Mortimer.

Mandelson now toxic or simply ridiculous to huge swathe of US opinion, including Trump supporters. Position untenable, never mind being unfit to represent King and country. New Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper will lose all authority if she does not sack him.

@premnsikka Suggest that privatization is a gigantic money-laundering scheme to make public sector finances look more "prudent"

Privatization has created a rentier economy. England's water companies privatized in 1989 for £6.1bn. Little new shareholder investment No new reservoirs, sewage in rivers, customers ripped-off, £85.2bn in dividends Why do govts cling to privatization? leftfootforward.org/2025/09/how-su…
