#PaulMcCartney turns 80 tomorrow. Out of all the great tunes he has written, this is the one that now rings out most often. I told its story for The Guardian

Carrick doesn't just make the team better: he makes the club more United

[United Writing @united_writing]

Why Michael #Carrick is the right manager for #ManUnited, by @TimdeLisle: he had one job this season, but he's done two.

Good to find that the Pope is on the side of the angels

Chelsea were the better team, but United had the luck and, crucially, the experience. My comment piece for @united_writing, the newsletter I started with Rob Smyth, which is still free

Where's Jonny Evans when you need him?

Leny Yoro believed to have suffered an injury and has not travelled with #mufc squad to London. United set to be without four of their five centre backs at Chelsea.

Why last night was embarrassing, not disastrous.: @TimdeLisle on a game of two halves and three strokes of bad luck, with a tip of the hat to @AliceTalksFooty's forensic skills

This game has been a very good advert for Harry Maguire.

If Putin really said this, he was speaking for all of us

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump: “When I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. You gotta understand, I don't care. Norway has lost so credible. I stopped 8 wars… I do it the best. I stopped wars that nobody thought—President Putin called me, he said, 'I can't believe you stopped this one and this one.’”

Every week, in a free newsletter, I try to make sense of #ManUnited. It's a lot more rewarding now that #MichaelCarrick is at the wheel

[United Writing @united_writing]

At Bournemouth, United's best player wasn't Bruno Fernandes, for once. It was Matheus Cunha, who has added another string to his bow. @TimdeLisle on #Cunha's development under #Carrick and where this weekend leaves #MUFC

My take on #MUFC's first defeat under Michael Carrick: it shouldn't cost them much

[United Writing @united_writing]

One defeat is no reason to panic: in our regular comment piece on #ManUnited, @TimdeLisle looks on the bright side of a frustrating night in Newcastle

Amorim special: the six reasons why he had to go, by @TimdeLisle

[Nick Reeves #RejoinEU #NAFO #FBPE @nickreeves9876]

"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."

The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".

The fact is that Russian interference is staring us in plain sight. Russian TV hugely boosted Farage's public standing by giving him dozens of appearances, and without Farage, Brexit would not have happened. Brexit was the result of a successful Russian influence operation.

Please repost if you want Starmer to set up an inquiry into Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.

"Does anybody know the Portuguese for 'better late than never'?" @TimdeLisle, who's been advocating for a back four for the past year, finds Ruben #Amorim agreeing (but only for an hour)

When punditry resembles sledging, it becomes bad punditry, because it loses its cool. When it parrots a sledge, it's even worse. Stokes had told his team to show some fight and that's what Archer was doing.
