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?

I think they gave it to Bally at one point.

Reeves in tears and looking absolutely fucking wrecked in PMQs when Badenoch started questioning her future. Apparently it was due to "a personal matter", but who knows.

Like you don’t do the same thing. Which is even more disturbing when you consider that you work from home.

One transfer plans not fit for purpose. Ha. Ha. Ha. Twooooo…..

Quite.
