@AlbaMetal1982 The same people cancelling Ed Sheeran (and now Rory) for having a completely valid open opinion on music and free speech, were against Macklemore being cancelled for having a valid open opinion on music and free speech - be better!

@AlbaMetal1982 Have you read Rou's A Treatise on Possibility book? Talks a lot on tribalism and echochambers which I think Rory is essentially alluding to here (esp in the follow up story).

@elladorn_ You’d acc be surprised how many people I know who went into apprenticeships / work instead of uni and stayed living with parents are actually the ones who are better off, have more savings, and starting to buy houses at 25. Grads are the ones who are struggling to pay rent now

@HolyFuckHeavy @PolitlcsUK They’ll have a fantastic 3y of educational enlightenment and personal development. Unfortunately at the end of that 3 years they’ll be in an oversaturated and overqualified job market, end up in a sector not using their degree, and with a massive ever growing pile of debt.

However bad Keir Starmer is as PM (and he really is bad at it), there's a strong national security argument to keep him in place until June 2. That's the date industry now expects the government to publish its much-delayed Defence Investment Plan.

Once a leadership contest is underway, the civil service will insist on suspending any decisions on it for the new PM - so the crucial job of re-building the UK's hollowed out defences will get pushed back yet again, to at least the Autumn and perhaps 2027.

That piles more risk on already significant risk. As any serving senior officer will tell you, we are not safe. We'll be even less safe by then.

@economic_jog @alexwickham This is why, the cost on the country of causing further market instability is not worth it to win a party faction argument. Like her or hate her, Rayner is not a fit choice for PM. Best bet for the country is for Starmer to stay and set goal based missions which MPs can rally for

@Baron_Douro @LankyLobsterPS5 @annaroseridgway @Heccles94 I think the biggest issue with the £15 MW is Greens want to apply to all ages. This will break a lot of pubs who employ first time Saturday workers, and will lead to an increase in youth unemployment. Already seeing it now with more Uni grads taking the “Saturday jobs” over teens

@RicharlisonSZNx @WestHamViews_ @FabrizioRomano Yeah, a step down

@DavidLammy @TheSun Great unifying article David. But please can you ask The Sun to remove the “Skinheads” caption. The skinhead movement was a mix of white working class and Jamaican rudeboy and ska culture. Whilst some skinheads were enticed into the NF, it was a small minority of the movement.

@Gabriel_Pogrund Interesting fact, James Giles was on my course at uni. Always had an air of political snobbery about himself. Stood in the 2019 GE as an independent when he was in his first year of uni - didn’t even get 5% of the vote. Not surprised he jumped on the Galloway Bandwagon.

@revsoc21 Not sure what the aim is here. "While you're shopping, bombs are dropping". The chants and disruption seem to be targeting christmas shoppers - what difference is that doing? This isn't solidarity, this is stoking division.

If you want change - protest outside the Israli embassy

@drsportsmedia Arsenal fans giving it all that in the comments, shitting on songs that have been sung down the generations and saying theirs, a one year old song where most of theirs fans only know the chorus is the best. Really are the worst and most deluded fans in the prem

@ArseCannonPics A season long european knockout competition trophy means so much more than a 1 match big 6 pre-season friendly shield that Arsenal didn't even get into properly.

@WestHam_Central Feel wrong to hear him say COYG. Cam tells it’s not the same passion he had for us

@afchaidar1 @WestHam_Central @Fiorentinanews Can be that small when you lot are happy to hand us £105 million for 1 player

@SkyNews @SkyKatieSpencer No one's actually been saying this though.

There's been some great female acts high up on some of the other stages, maybe if @SkyKatieSpencer actually mentioned them rather than resort to sloppy opinion journalism
