Taking a sideways look at coaching, rugby (union), Leeds United and man's inhumanity to man. And women's. Any opinion expressed here is strictly personal!
To re-cap last night; The SNP ambushed Labour, who blackmailed the speaker, who broke the rules, which saved Keir’s blushes, which gave the Tories the excuse to pretend to be angry so they could withdraw and not lose the vote, and the SNP were angry their plot failed, so neither put party politics aside to vote for a ceasefire they claim to want, meaning parliament’s a mess but not as much of a mess as Gaza, which last night’s events did nothing to help
Armando Iannucci, "There's no other country in the world that has had 5 Home Secretaries in five years, 10 Housing Ministers in ten years, 7 Education Ministers in eight years. If that was a company, we'd withdraw our custom because it sounds dodgy" @Aiannucci

@Matt_Thorpe92 He was interviewed earlier on BBC - plan was to get to the front early and stay there for the duration. Asked what he planned re going to the loo, he replied (nervously) ‘hold it in?’ And what you see is the result!
Excellent article by @seaningle in today's Guardian, chronicling the struggles of sport and leisure at community level to recover post-Covid, post-Brexit, mid-energy crisis, etc. Important if you care about health (physical and mental) in this country.

This piece of crap Government is now shamelessly lying about ambulance workers to justify railroading through legislation to rob millions of UK workers of their democratic right to strike, force them to work against their will & allow them to be sacked if they refuse
"We’re the people who connect homes... to the internet" say Openreach on their @WeAreOpenreach and @OpenreachHelp accounts - well, not our home! A month after @VodafoneUK did their bit, still no line to house from pole - yet all neighbours are connected! Rubbish #customerservice!
