East London sales for Cave. None of the opinions here are of my employer
It's time immemorial that people look down on the younger generations Most of them are sound and trying to make their way through life. They'll be fine
That's a Labour government minister berating university students and staff by saying that 'too often people go to university to "explore research and knowledge"'.

I'm very glad of our students who study history to explore research and knowledge.

Is this the first ever pour of Beamish in the UK? Tasting great and by far the best nitro stout I've had

Not sure who needs to hear this but Aldgate tap are doing 4.50 pints of German lager. 3.3% but tasting absolutely dreamy. Unheard of in London

Watching yesterday's #dauphine stage I'm not sure whether we'll have any hot takes about this years favorite except that barring a crash I cannot conceive of another rider winning. That attack was less like a final blow and more a kursk-like preemptive strike

Probably shouldn't be as shocked at this but still sad to hear. Nevertheless probably for the best if they want to build on this year
Breaking News from @theathletic.bsky.social: The New York Knicks fired coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday, a league source confirmed. Thibodeau led the Knicks to the Eastern Conference finals this season, their furthest playoff run since 1999-2000. trib.al/Xs6DWMN

I normally take the line of: "if it's not to my liking then don't talk about it" but this was free and I still think the branding is incredibly problematic. Which coked up branding agency decided this was a good name for a Brazilian lager

Rough time of it if you're a wout van Aert fan (I'm having a rough time of it)

As we see violent escalations between India and Pakistan, I endorse this brilliant message from Luton Council of Faiths.

“Together, we are Luton,” is especially important during testing times.

We urgently need to see a deescalation for the sake of the millions of innocent civilians in the region.

A reminder of how batshit crazy it is that Tadej Pogacar (2nd yesterday) even competed at Paris-Roubaix 🤯 you have to go down the 2024 Tour de France GC to 55th place to find the next highest-ranked rider who participated: Jonas Abrahamsen (DNF).

Lizzie was 100% true to her word in yesterday’s pod, and led the peloton onto the cobbles today. I know, cos I was crouching and shouting support at her. Then I went to find her plaque at the velodrome (which she’s never seen)

Correct me if I'm wrong @roadcc.bsky.social but isn't Luis Enrique the PSG manager and they were playing Aston Villa, whilst Hansi Flick is Barcelona manager who oversaw their demolition of Borussia Dortmund?

Many of those riders are serving apprenticeships in smaller Euro Teams with help of #raynerfoundation. The pathway exists, it just doesn't exist in UK any more

Interesting to hear @carltonkirby.bsky.social and @adamblythe89.bsky.social discussing the British Contingent resurging and the fact that many of the riders are undercover until they jump into the WT.

Don’t repeat the myth - this isn’t about free speech. Buffer zones protect women from harassment because others don’t respect their choice to have an abortion.

Time to write into our English law human rights protection for women to make that choice so we don’t have to keep fighting this stuff ….

Met Jamie from Flandrien Hotel today and can say that his infectious joy and passion are just that. A stellar person and someone who is actively putting in the work.

Have come back from Flanders with a renewed love for cycling, Belgium and it's people

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.

Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.

The US must end its complicity.

Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

In Flanders again and have been reminded of how lovely people here are.

This is one of the oldest stage races in women’s cycling, and I think it is definitely worth preserving. If you agree, please take the 1 minute it takes to sign this petition we have created in support of the Thüringen Ladies Tour, and please also spread the word 🙏
