….Basketball is woke now? God forbid the Mayor celebrates £100 million being put into London’s economy. Wish I’d had a chance to discuss Reform’s desperate attempts to turn everything into a culture war when I was on @TrevorPTweets this morning - but so much else going on!
One day we will have a Mayor of London who will celebrate Britain, England, London and our own culture. @policylaila

Practice risks embedding bogus 'authorities' as precedents, creating a growing body of misinformation.

Planning for 2 interim managerial appointments is unhelpful and betrays a lack of planning and control. Always supporting but watching for authority, class and clarity. #GGMU

I have followed @ManUtd for over half a century and have of course seen tremendous highs and lows over that time. Today’s defeat in itself is not a disaster but the loss & performance again highlights the sense that the club is not clear as to how to move forward. 1/2
