Read the subtitles you lazy sod! I took someone's advice and waited for S3 so now can binge the lot. The first series ended pretty perfectly for me so this does reek of "lost" money spinning to me.

The fucking dub in Squid Game it’s like someone has AI translated a Japan only PS2 game

Just watching C4 news. Apparently the markets flipped when they thought she might have resigned, but calmed when Labour confirmed she was safe. This is the issue we have now, if Labour don't do what the markets want, the bond yield rises and we're all fucked. Starmer and Reeves are constantly between a rock and a hard place here. Its easy to snipe from the sidelines but I'm just not hearing from the Tories, Reform, Liberal Dems, Greens or Labour Left what the answer is. "Wealth tax" seems to be the cry but how would this work in practice, would it spook the markets, or would it have other unforeseen consequences? None of this is easy.

Communication between club and fans is now back at fat Ash/Penfold levels. Cant even tell us if Callum Wilsons officially f*cked off or not

Since Mitchell is gone who does the job belong to? Eddie? Eddies nephew?

Maybe we wait a few more weeks before judging the window but the lack of progress in appointing exec replacements is pretty damning. It's almost as if they've decided that the only management person that seems to do anything here is Howe so let's let him manage the transfers too.

So, it's obviously officially summer, so I set up my lovely Frame TV you'll all remember about to display a special collection of summer art work. This picture came on. Whey I thought, as any normal person would, let's scan the crowd to see how many Mag shirts I could find. None, zip, nada. But what's this? The only footy shirt on this art exhibit was an MLF! QED or summat.

Yep. She might have had a relationship break up, a family bereavement. Who the fuck knows, but it's got fuck all to do with Badenoch. That said, if one of my nurses was in floods of tears at work I'd probably take her out of the firing line and give her some time off

It very much sounds like she might done. Politically, I won't miss her - but saying that I assume everything she's done has been with his full blessing, so I'm not sure what the issue would be here.

We live in an age where we're frequently reminded to be considerate to mental health and those cunts come out with something like that. Arseholes! A lot of mention of it being to do with an altercation she had yesterday with Lindsay Hoyle but it's questionable that would draw such raw emotion 24hrs down the line. I hope it is something genuinely personal and that if she does have the courage to disclose, those cunts feel unbelievably ashamed. They won't, though.

His son was born there too. Minikiev.

The Tories have come out and said that saying it is a personal matter doesn't cut it and we need to know what it is. Which is genuinely appalling. As shit as Labour are, that lot are nasty cunts.

Someone please tell that to our accountants.

Aye, funny there was an article in The Athletic this morning that mentioned as much. Still, they’re happy enough to spunk billions on golf and the CWC. The next CEO (if we ever get one) needs the balls to tell the Saudis that he calls the shots and they sign the cheques.

I'm still laughing at this

It's even more ridiculous that it's funded by PIF, and the money Chelsea have made has probably funded their purchases of Delap and Pedro

Fair play to Stephen Flynn, who I normally think is quite brash, for showing some humanity on Social Media and wishing her well. She might be Chancellor of the Exchequer, but she's also a human being and that's often forgotten about - especially in politics. The cause of her distress is a private matter and not in the the public interests if doesn't wish it to be. The fact Badenoch used it as a platform to weaponise her distress is something I've found deeply abhorrent.

I'm not sure we can completely equate the Palestine and Ukraine situations. The latter is a large country with a fully functioning armed forces that is being supported by Europe to defend itself against Russia. The former is a tiny population that is effectively being subject to genocide with little in the way of wider support. The images of blown up kids are all over social media and it's on the news all day ever day, so of course Joe Public is going to be more aware of what's happening in Palestine over Ukraine in the here and now.

Starmer made that comeback but also failed to guarantee that Reeves would remain in post. So Badenoch stands up and, with a visibly upset Reeves sat next to Starmer, says "what a shame for the Chancellor he couldn't give her that guarantee". Oof. Of course they've come out and said she's safe etc afterwards, but Labour are in total disarray at the minute.

Sounds like s bit of a nerve from Badenoch that mind. I mean surely the come back is obvious?

Stores it in his knees

In all the tosses Stokes has won he’s only chose to bat once apparently, so yes! They believe they can chase anything I suppose, however foolish it looks. I wasn’t sure which way to call it today but it’d have looked a lot rosier if the umpire wasn’t hopeless. Woakes should have had a 3fer by lunch.

are stokes and mccullum trying to make bowling first the new batting first? if you win the toss and you're unsure, bowl.

Wanking over 'Trent's first assist. Apparently struggled defensively, but 'Typical Trent assist, boom' Great for a defender eh?
