Let me say this very directly.

Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.

The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.

Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I’m giving thousands of pubs, clubs and music venues a 20% cut in business rates.

I won’t stand by while these cherished local spaces disappear, replaced by boarded-up windows and ‘For Sale’ signs.

They’re the heart of our communities and it’s time we backed them.

Went to first West End musical in years with my two youngest today…

The centre of London was heaving with visitors, in a way unrecognisable from the image percolated on this site…

The stats underline this… West End has fully recovered and more from pandemic and now has overtaken Broadway on tickets sold - millions more, and more tickets sold than the Premier League…

This isn’t mirrored in all visitor attractions but seems an interesting and resounding success. Industry reports interesting new trends such as very last minute ticket purchases. Ticket prices do seem extortionate/ dynamically priced… but the stats suggest they are down a bit in real terms.

British Museum visitors at a 10 year high of 6.5 million…

Visitors generally fully recovered from pandemic, interestingly driven by domestic tourists and North Americans… seemed pretty clear that summer 2025 for example, London was world capital of live music.

Comes day after the Mayor of London wrote to Anthropic to come to London after their troubles with the Trump Administration and a marked change in the vibe around the investment in AI and tech…

While there’s obvious some challenges in any modern day mega city, and in Britain right now, strikes me that the stats show taking your cues from the mildly bizarre cultivated campaign against Britain and our capital on this site is likely to lead to erroneous perceptions.

Interested in any insights as to how the west end has overtaken the premier league and Broadway… and how other parts of UK have fared - as I’ve written before visitor numbers to places like Manchester are also booming re football, unis and now the music at the once laughed at Coop Live…

PS yes it was Wicked. And it was good.👍🏽 🧙

Galbraith and Perkins link up again, as Gally pinches the ball back and plays in Sonny, who finished clinically from inside the area!

This is not a Netflix show. Elon Musk really IS a foreign billionaire meddling in YOUR democracy.

We need urgent campaign finance reform to close the loopholes he plans to exploit and all of us have to speak out to protect our politics as a space we can disagree agreeably. 1/2

@VictoriaParkBks @LBehrG @MVPAmossbourne @observer It was aimed at you !

@VictoriaParkBks @LBehrG @MVPAmossbourne @observer I was calling bullshit on your bullshit.

How dare you dismiss the Observer, The Guardian, The BBC reporting as irresponsible just because it doesn’t suit your experience or opinion.

[Declan Perkins @DeclanPerkins]

@VictoriaParkBks @LBehrG @MVPAmossbourne @observer “Far from neutral”

Where’s your neutral Jo?

It didn’t seem that carefully thought out from where I’m standing.

Piling in and irresponsible journalism was where the Bullshit was aimed
