Musk is now weighing in on the upcoming German election by campaigning for the far-right AfD. It’s as if the man is hell-bent on reshaping global politics, no matter how extreme the parties he is endorsing may prove to be. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

“It was incredible. It was Fergie time, I believe in it… something magic happened.” Ruben Amorim is a brilliant communicator. You can see how he apparently won over Ratcliffe from the off

Big North East related scoop by @thetimes.com today. With ample room for expansion, it could grow significantly with the right level of investment. Here’s hoping whoever wins the bidding does just that.

FT front page has a story that billionaire financier Michael Spencer whining that top CEOs should be "paid like footballers" to make us competitive. It then notes the average Premier League salary is £2.1m and the average FTSE 100 CEO earns £4.1m.

Inevitably the same people who lost their shit over Starmer receiving a free concert ticket are now losing their minds because he turned down free membership of a golf course.

Should’ve retired after the Euros. Seeing him miss chance after chance and still insist on taking each and every set piece was toe-curling

I think I got nations league fatigue after the first ever game. Surely it’s time for uefa to just admit it’s a failed experiment and bin it?
