This week’s column. Some (not all) of the coverage I have seen of Myles Lewis Skelly over the last 10 days or so has bothered me. It’s clear many of us are still not mindful enough and do not take due care with language and framing when it comes to talking about black footballers 👇🏻

It has struck me for years that if the Tories are really that incensed about Sadiq Khan being mayor of London, they could try doing something novel such as running a candidate against him who is any good whatsoever and has at least a theoretical chance of winning.

Yes, I will repeat, but I have a fraction of the following here compared to twitter and posts are engaged with and responded to far, far more on Bluesky at the moment. It’s partially a decision of conscience but it also just makes sense for my ‘business’
