GKC, my longtime hero, is the patron saint of Twitter

Wouldn’t have said that set of substitutions would trigger a Carlisle mini-collapse but Wearne, Ellis subs backfired on us. Don’t let that turn into mass panic. On any other day we’d have scored four. Fine margins let us down, but we finally look a threat from the right and left

Peak Carlisle here

This afternoon's official attendance is 10,860 (85 away) - thank you for your phenomenal support, Blues! 👏💙

Thinking about the fact that this bill is the only initiative to which this government has shown unswerving commitment. And that it's likely to be its most notable legacy. Not mentioned in the manifesto and flies in the teeth of any progressive belief.

NEW - we've data showing huge numbers of people reducing their income to avoid high marginal income tax rates. Not just at the £100k point (as previously reported). But at the £50k point:

Worth a read for anyone concerned about phones in schools.

The government will make sure the bill is 'workable' and 'legally robust'. It will NOT guarantee it is safe. That is a 'matter of policy' and not for the govt. MPs feeling any regret yet? Did you expect 'safety' to be an after thought for govt? Thank you @Tanni_GT!

Verdict of this voter: “Ed Miliband is the person most likely to finish off destroying the economy.”

Rachel Reeves is now a hopelessly mixed-up metaphor of a Chancellor: trying to fill a now even-deeper hole of her own making, she’s painted herself into a corner as well. Time for some more indiscriminate mud-throwing at the Tories, I predict.

I can't think of another piece of legislation so ostentatiously championed by privilege, so driven by corporate opportunism, so precisely targetted at the vulnerable, so marinaded in supersition. This is what the Great Reform act was supposed to prevent.

Entertaining myself with the definition of 'pet' being inserted by the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Probably should add: '(e) Fear of retribution from the animal if otherwise' to cover most cats

There’s an old saying: There’s a sucker at every poker table, and if you can’t spot who it is, it’s you. Starmer, Lammy, Cooper et al thought that they could get concessions from Brussels just by being “not the Tories”. If they weren’t so arrogant they would have understood

All things considered, “other people sincerely hold political views different from mine” is a more probable explanation for the phenomenon of disagreement than “those who disagree with me are being paid/suborned/blackmailed by shadowy forces and dark money.”

@OldRoberts953 Until the Speaker allows him to ride into the Commons on a jet ski Ed Davey is never going to make a splash.

As with so many things they said in opposition Lab bemoaned Tory infighting (as did lots of Tories to be frank) and when in Government decided: “Call that infighting, we’ll show you infighting. Demonstrate your parliamentary party is unmanageable? How do you like THESE apples?!”

This is who we supply 🐄🐄knocked many farmers this week down to 33p per litre !! Only to find it in our local shop at £1.75 per litre and £2.36 for 2 litres how on earth can that be right #milkprice #dairyfarming #ripoff #SundayMorning

Interesting that some people who regularly call for the resignation of the PM are sharing interesting takes on the resignation of the BBC Director General

To continue the conversation that @Adamas30 and I were having earlier today on the capriciousness of fate in wartime, this dreadful loss of children in a single family related by @JHCPAL could have been even worse if the pilot had crashed on Amble, a town of 4,000 souls

I really do think politics is a circle and that Polanski and Trump are closer together than they think

Games played makes this a false table. But with 6 points between the top 6, it is very tight. Games in hand won will make it even tighter unless Rochdale win all their three. York/Rochdale and FGR/Tamworth on Tuesday could make it 3 points between the top 6, if York and FGR win
