Just 13k more signatures and the call for a public inquiry into Russian interference has to be debate in Parliament

This is absolutely sickening. Like Starmer's "Island of Strangers" speech, I don't know how anyone could propose it without hearing echoes of a very dark past.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

I’ve got these unread books. Which should I read next? Any recommendations?

Or should I do it like I did when I went to the library as a kid: bring ten books home and read a little bit of each before deciding which first?

The most powerful story ever told, is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves.

How’s your story working for you?

Lowe “held a huddle pitch side in front of the home supporters”
“I want them to understand that the performance wasn’t good enough.”

Shades of Phil Brown at Hull coming into his management techniques now.

Like me, your success rate for continuing on your own path is 100%. Isn’t it time you recognised that?"

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

"Ukraine's theory of victory"

If Ukraine can't win on the battlefield can they - and their allies - undermine Russia's economy enough to force Putin's hand?

I refer you to my post from two weeks ago. Groundhog Day.
Ryan Lowe can talk all he likes about practising patterns of play but if we can’t control and pass the ball properly, then we can’t execute any pattern of play #wafc

Massive credit to Ryan Lowe for that win. He could have easily left Saydee up top on his own after Costello got sent off but he kept two strikers and his decision got its reward. Superb shift from all the players #wafc

When my illness limited what I could manage, I started asking myself: “What can I do with the energy I have?”

Sometimes the answer was small — make a list, wash a cup, read a page.

But each small act was a vote for a better life.

I wrote about it here
