if the bbc had to do this for every time they misquoted/misrepresented jeremy corbyn it would be a nonstop stream of apologies. wonder why they hardly ever did, if ever.

@justenock He’s mad about three things happening which hadn’t happened when he made his decision. Right. Brother needs to chill out and dry his eyes on some £50 notes

@FabrizioRomano Classic Enic. Wait for the buy clause to expire, come back in a month later with a low ball offer

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

I’m just a guy off the street and I can tell the leadership team who are investigating this that the injuries are due to poor squad planning and lack of strength in depth. They played two games a week for two seasons with probably 14 players of the requisite quality

[Spurs Insight @SpursInsight_]

🚨📰 It is understood the average availability of Spurs players last season was about 77%, and squad members were absent for a combined period of more than 2,000 days

Tottenham would prefer to take those numbers closer to 90% availability and fewer than 1,000 days

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

University was once a place where one becomes a rounded person, not just a future worker

But fees and a neoliberal morality — which knows the price of everything and the value of nothing — has taken that away

It’s depressing we’re robbing future generations of that experience.

She didn’t want to try on any swimwear at all.
She went to this particular store to confront and bully staff.
And of course, she would not have to change in front of a man because all the cubicles have lockable doors.
What a sad existence this must be.

[ChiefHerbalist @HerbalistChief]

The writer of this book died in a car bomb. Think about that !!

[Left Foot Forward @LeftFForward]

@TheCinesthetic Interesting that he shot the cop through the neck first. Even under pressure, he had to get retribution for having his jaw broken. And De Niro’s shooting of Waingro in Heat is clearly a nod to this

[yelittlejedi @yelittlejedi]

Its actually so weird, like we all know he's doing it to annoy muslims but does he really think muslims sit there fuming cos he's eating a bit of breakfast?

Get to your constituency and help the 30% of children living in poverty out of it, you waste of space.

One day, everyone will always have been against this.

Fun fact: It is typically illegal to sell a puppy younger than 8 weeks old because it’s considered cruel to separate it from its mother, but unfortunately corporate America expects women to return to work 4 weeks after giving birth.
