To be expected from the Tories but The Greens?

If Chris Philp's voice gets any higher the Dogs Trust will launch an official complaint. #PMQs

When Angela Rayner schools Tory ministers I'm always reminded of coming home from school on a Friday. A confident working class woman terrifies a middle class man #pmqs

If past form is any guide Angela Rayner v Chris Philp should be on after the 9pm watershed. If Philp and his testicles are in the same postcode at 12.30 it'll be a victory for him. #pmqs

The comprehensive security at Virgin Money is annoying at the time but very reassuring. I struggled with remembering my grandad's hat size but recalling the name of my Auntie Vi's Lakeland Terrier was a breeze.

Looking at the fixtures and it's a fine line between excitement and shitting conkers in fear. #lufc

The Jack Harrison Classico. #lufc

I know the square root of sod all about Middle East politics but I do know Putin is an ally of Iran. Does Trump know?

One of Farage's cigarette papers couldn't fit between Reform and Badenoch's Tory party. The Tories, like Talking Heads, are on a road to nowhere.

Happy 83rd birthday to Paul McCartney. Few people on the planet have given so much pleasure to so many people.

Trump has no strategy. He's weaving around like a drunk on a unicycle. He is bonkers. Trump's enablers are just as culpable as Trump for the current shit show.

Our club seems to be unusually proactive in the transfer market at the moment. It's not even September yet. #lufc

Respect to Robert. Wish more journalists and politicians were so open. We all make mistakes. It's how you respond that matters.

Chris Mason sees his duty is to please his bosses not inform viewers. The constant interruptions and aggressive gotcha type questions on BBC News were atrocious.

The BBC has many journalists with a deep understanding of the Middle East but insist on using the woeful Chris Mason to interview Starmer using his usual gotcha type questioning.

Hacks questioning why Starmer picked up the A4 sheets dropped by Trump need to give their head a wobble. It's what well brought up people do.

Trump is currently aware he's mentally and physically failing and taking steps to conceal it. From experience of family members, the next step is Trump loses that awareness.

Trump is a gibbering halfwit. Little wonder he doesn't want to be seen with politicians who can say complete sentences in languages that aren't their first. #G7

He might be small in size but Zelenskyy is a political giant. @skynewsrss.bsky.social

Grass cut. Beer open. All is good. #lufc

There's no evidence of Trump's deal making skills. All he does is call on others to make deals. Bit like me calling on Daniel Farke to win next season's Premier League. It's not that simple.

If you drop your shopping because you're old or struggling with toddlers or a dog hope Richard isn't around 'cos helping you will make him look pathetic.

Once again #wato treats Trump's verbal meanderings and fantasy seriously. Trump is in rapid cognitive decline and the houseplants in the Oval Office are more in touch with reality.

A modern remake of Genevieve would be a Hillman Avenger racing an Austin Allegro along the A23. Not quite as charming as the original.

It appears @rcolvile.bsky.social has deleted the article he wrote for the Telegraph. Must have missed the retraction and apology. He wouldn't want Telegraph readers to remain misled, would he?

Robert uses the median to find the total and hence the mean. It is statistical codswallop. Here are two sets of number 1 1 5 5 5 1 1 5 100 500 The median of both sets of numbers is 5. The mean of the first set is 3.4. The mean of the second set of numbers is 121.4. A hugely misleading article.

Trump left the G7 early to retreat to the fantasy world he and his enablers have created. Sadly, billions of us are impacted as well.

Using the median and population to find the total is what statisticians call weapons-grade horse shite. If a GCSE Stats student presented similar work, they'd be in detention. Yet this fella gets published.

Listening to the interview with Howard Wilkinson on @thesquareball.net. It's a terrific listen. It's also a reminder that Leslie Silver was a great chairman and a great man.

Even Jacob Rees Mogg used to get a ministerial sedan chair.
