Thank god at least one media outlet has had the good sense to emphasise his ethnicity over his actual managerial talents. It’s what really matters.
Ashvir Singh Johal becomes the youngest manager in the top five tiers of English football! 🤯. The 30-year-old replaces Derek Adams, who was sacked on Monday.

Pub (40%) beat symposium (36%). Save the date. I’ll organise the booze up.
31st October 2026 is the 300th anniversary (to the day) of King LC's decision in Keech v Sandford. Is it worth (me) organising a symposium in Oxford, or shall we just go the pub?.

Q1: 0.7%. Q2: 0.3%. ‘Solid’. Being a partisan shill must be such a boring life.
So in a blow to the doom-mongers, who have relentlessly criticised Reeves and Starmer, it turns out there's been solid growth overall for the first half of the year. Good news for Britain!.

Well, I suppose people still drink the health of the King over the Water.
Tonight we will be lighting the Library of Birmingham green and white to mark the eve of 77th anniversary of Pakistan's independence day on the 14th August.

There should be a rule that you can’t receive a life peerage for five years after you exit the Commons via an election loss. Stuffing the chamber with rejected nobodies undermines its legitimacy. I would also suggest a 15 year non-renewable term.
Remember, this lady was voted out by her constituents at the last election, and immediately given a life vote in the same legislature by her party.

"I think feeling pride in the extractive nature of British colonial rule is deeply unhelpful.". Taking down the statue of Robert Clive is a good step towards being "honest" about British history and would "make us stronger," says Labour peer Thangam Debbonaire. @ThangamDebb

George III was so distraught by the loss of America that he drafted a resignation letter! He was planning on abdicating and going off to Hannover.

Amazing to see a letter from George III to Lord North in 1774 (in Library of Congress, lent recently by the King): ‘the dye is now cast’.
