Ruben Amorim should be sacked by Man Utd simply for the way he behaved during that penalty shoot out. To not even watch any of the penalties was a disgrace.

Can any Labour Party supporters (and for that matter Reform Party) tell us how the social care sector in the UK will look in the next 5 years? Will there even be one?

I have been a councillor in opposition, and in control of a council. It is far harder to run a council than it is to snipe from the sidelines. I think lots of new @reformparty_uk councillors are about to learn that. I wonder how many signed up for the slog?

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

Excellent result for @brentfordfc.com today. 3 away wins on the trot. Can’t complain. And as a Brentford fan always enjoy my trips to #whufc as we have won in 3 out of 4 visits to the London Stadium.

When I’m not watching @brentfordfc.com I go and watch #Exeter City. Being on the Big Bank last night brought back memories of great - and some bad (!) - times at Griffin Park.

You have to give @Nigel_Farage credit. Of all the politicians around in the UK at the moment, he is the master at not answering any question ever put to him. "What do want to see?" he is asked. "It's what I don't want to see" is always his answer.

If Tory Peers and Guido Fawkes want to set up UK equivalent of DOGE, I hope the first thing they do is ask Michelle Mone to return the £200m handed out after companies associated with her were awarded contracts to supply gowns and face masks.

Trump is doing. It's not good. He and his acolytes are clearing out entire levels of senior civil servants (NOT POLITICAL APPOINTEES) as some form of retribution. For what, who knows? But years of experience are being lost in US government.
