I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

I do like how, in the bit of Prescott's memo where he criticises the BBC for editing together different parts of Trump's speech, his own quote of "what Trump actually said" is... edited together from different parts of his speech.

The Bengals are on bye, so can't lose catastrophically, and there's Augustiner on tap. Life isn't all that bad.

Fold the league immediately. A bust.
Bills QB Josh Allen and WR Elijah Moore were each fined for this celebration after Allen's touchdown vs. the Chiefs. Allen was fined $14,491 and Moore was fined $13,888 for unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture)

It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago.
I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.

“Goodwin’s mood – and his politics – started to turn in around 2016, the year in which the UK voted to leave the EU and the US voted for Trump. This was also the approximate time Goodwin is believed to have tried and failed to secure politics professorships at London universities.”

Bengals Legendary Tight End Bob Trumpy Has Passed Away. He was 80 Years Old. His 4,600 career receiving yards, 35 career receiving touchdowns and 15.4 yards per reception are the most by a tight end in Bengals history.

It's a shame this is so focused on the superyacht side because there's an interesting story about the lower end where the spending power of the middle classes is declining dramatically. As a sport, sailing is in a lot of trouble if costs continue to rise as quickly as they have.

Well, if it’s 1 November, it must be 269 years since Casanova made good his escape from ‘The Leads’ – the prison under the roof of the Doge’s palace in Venice where he’d been shoved for “grave faults … public outrages against the holy religion”, aka shagging
