Keir Starmer is probably the best PM we’ll ever have and the country doesn’t really know what it has lost. Sensible pragmatic politics, few could have handled recent events caused by 45/47 without sending the country into a tailspin. The influence our right wing press has on politics is depressing.

Not sure who planned this but having the FA Cup final, Soccer Aid and Arsenal’s parade all on the same day in London was poor form. I don’t think those two events would be scheduled to be on the same day as the Men’s FA Cup

Interesting article about stadiums in the Super League, I don’t agree with some of their points though. I went to Brighton v Liverpool last season at the Amex attendance 4,566. This year at Broadfield 2,316 how can you grow the game when you literally go backwards www.skysports.com/share/13535782

So #ThePitt S01E12 is not just the best episode of a medical drama that I’ve seen but it’s probably one of the best episodes of TV I’ve ever watched. The storytelling throughout this series is incredible, and so clever considering the constraints of it being one shift. And the acting is top notch!

Finally after it came out January last year I’ve finally been able to start watching #ThePitt always been a huge fan of Noah Wyle since ER days, first episode did not disappoint, can’t wait to watch the rest!

Just unfollowed a fun entertainment account because it basically filled my entire feed, just constant posts like a scattergun trying to find engagement; I wish they had a curated version of their feed because I am interested - just not THAT interested

The idea that Keir Starmer could lose his premiership due to Epstein connections to Mandelson whilst Trump and others in the US remain unscathed is absolutely bizarre. The fact that the Tories and media are so gleeful in the calls for him to resign tell their own story!

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com Tembo just told me about some proposed changes to how LISAs will work. Notably removing the penalty for withdrawing. But changing the bonus income from monthly to when buying a house, I was using my LISA as an extra saving for retirement is it now less appealing?

When the biggest clash over the budget is not the contents of the budget but the inferences made before the budget was delivered that just proves that the Tories know they can’t criticise the contents without disenfranchising a huge group of voters

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Incredible by England Lionesses winning #Euro2025 just blown away. Damehood for Lucy Bronze, sports personality of the year for Chloe Kelly, just amazing performance from everyone!

So excited for the Lionesses to be in their third successive final and to have the opportunity to defend their European title. I’m torn whether I think Kelly and Agyemang should start; I think James and Russo look a little fatigued and might be better coming off the bench. But I also worry having

So I started Blue Prince earlier this week not knowing much about it, I immediately found the concept really enthralling, a puzzle game where your ability to solve the puzzle was randomised each attempt. And then after 12 hours I accidentally beat the “primary” objective of the game. I say primary

Someone at Channel 4 had a great day today as they have added comments about the England U21s final tonight to every show airing today. @colinmurray1.bsky.social @susiedent.com I’m sure you’ll appreciate that for Countdown it now reads. “Here’s a nine-letter word you shouldn’t forget: CRESSWELL”

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏
We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch
If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

I’ve always been an avid TV watcher and so has my wife, the challenge we’ve found having a baby is the time we have to watch anything together is so limited that we end up not watching new shows but something safe. Recently we agreed to continue shows where the other was just somewhat interested

I’ve taken the moral decision to check any funds in my share portfolio, my sons JISA and my workplace pension, to see if they hold Tesla stock; where I can I’ve sold the fund or complained about the fund being part of the portfolio. It’s only a small step but if everyone does it we can help Tesla 📉

Hearing really good things about The Pitt, which makes it all the more galling that it currently has no UK broadcaster, hopeful that it finds a home on Channel 4 (as Sky Atlantic now seems unlikely) I don’t want to wait until HBO Max comes out over here

So I’m trying #Avowed mostly because it’s free and I was enjoying Outer Worlds (still need to go back and finish it). The Garrus voice actor sounds too much like Garrus it’s quite distracting at times and I still haven’t got a second companion. I keep speaking to people assuming they will be the one
