I don’t want McSweeney sacked because of this briefing ‘war’. I want him sacked because he’s steered Labour down such an awful, xenophobic path and paved the way for Farage in number 10.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

The scale of the Motorway Box plans for London is still staggering half a century on. Some of the plans just defy belief.
Earlier this week I spoke to London Centric about the Ringways Map and all things unbuilt London - they’ve dedicated the whole of their latest edition to the story! substack.com/home/post/p-...
Would your home have been under a motorway?
"The most astonishing and destructive thing never to happen to London," says the man who has spent twenty years researching the first true map of the unbuilt Ringways.

Ben Knapper is an utter fraud who has little/no talent other than pulling wool over the eyes of successive #ncfc owners and doing a disappearing act when it comes to engaging directly with the fanbase/media.

The #ncfc business model is based on selling lots of season tickets. If you lose the first 30% of your home fixtures how is that going to encourage people to renew next year? Knapper and Manning need to go for business reasons alone, never mind the fact that we're bound for League One.
