Anybody who thinks the constant evolution of man is inevitable should give Wetherby services a visit on a Friday.

While arguing that Next can't afford to pay 16-24 year olds the minimum wage, CEO Lord Wolfson forgot to say that for the fiscal year ending January 2026, Next reported an operating profit of £1.236 billion, marking a 13.4% increase from the previous year. #r4today

[Trevor McArdle @McardleTrevor]

Inflation “unexpectedly” fell by 0.5% to 2.8%

Growth was an “unexpected” 0.7% - the highest in the G7

Net immigration “unexpectedly” fell by 82%

NHS “unexpectedly” met it’s interim 18 week target

Our media have so deceived the public that all positive news is now “unexpected”

Often see hospitality complaining about how hard it is at the minute. Well they could have made a fortune today but guess what most places are closed. Madness.

Regis Le Bris is Manager of the Year, taking a Sunderland team tipped for relegation by everyone into Europe. Astonishing.

The worst Championship play off final I’ve seen for a long time. Mind boggling how poor Middlesbrough were #playoffs

[SaintsExtra @SaintsExtra]

🚨 @mjshrimper on #SaintsFC and Spygate:

“The key evidence was messages between Tonda Eckert and analysts. There appears to have been pushback from the analysts, ‘I’m not sure we should be doing this, I don’t want to do this.’

“Eckert telling them to get on with it, telling them, ‘I hope you come back with better stuff this time, because you didn’t come back with great stuff the previous time.’”

The level of questions I used to ask apprentices when applying for a job in local government. We expected candidates to do basic prep before an interview. It’s just laziness and ignorance from Reform (again)

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

New Reform councillors off to a great start by refusing to vote on anything because they haven't a clue what anything means, how anything works or what the fuck they are doing. Vote Reform, get lazy, incompetent, ignorant morons.

If this was someone turning up to work on their first day in any other job, HR would be wondering if they lied on their CV.

@Paul_Newman66 Give over. Looks like their manager is rightly going to get a lengthy ban.
