I am reluctantly coming to that view. He is landed by a lack of creative players. But he has been so conservative in the Premier League and routinely tends to sub too late. Throwing on about 4 attacking players for the last 15 minutes - a favourite response - smacks more of desperation than tactics.

If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.

It’s not hard to see how so many came to worry about the issue. But the data isn’t there

Wow 😮
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Great news, genuinely very happy to start paying. Expecting things you get value from to a) be free and b) stay valuable is a really weird habit we seem to have developed in the last 15-20 years.
Bluesky will be launching a subscription service by the end of the year. There are no details yet on how many tiers. Premium tiers will likely include higher-resolution pics, more/longer video uploads, and profile/page customization aesthetics. Longer term, there's a monetization plan for creators.
