Throughout this World Cup there should be klaxon every time an England commentator mentions 1966. Really is time to stop talking about it.

@colinwright.bsky.social I enjoyed the recent episode looking at the UK elections. Just a note that at national level coalitions are very rare (just 5 years since the war, plus an additional 3 years of informal support arrangements). At local government level it’s very common as you state.

Regardless of who you voted for it’s clear that the current electoral system does not work for multi-party politics. Yet there is still no sign of politicians doing the right thing. We should get what we vote for, whomever that may be.
As we see results of the local elections across England continue to come in, it’s clear that First Past the Post is failing voters – with some councils bearing little resemblance to how people actually voted.
It doesn’t need to be this way. It’s time to scrap First Past the Post in England.

Grey but dry day out marshalling for the Granite Way run. Can’t really run since my op but good to be part of a race day again.

UK is rejoining the Erasmus scheme. This is great news for young people and one tiny step forwards. Sadly the full lunacy of Brexit will never be undone.

Fantastic game at SJP today, bring on the 4th round. We either want a glamour club like Man City, or a team that we could actually beat like Man Utd 😉 #FACup 🏆
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1981, EXETER CITY ARE IN THE FOURTH ROUND OF THE FA CUP AFTER A SENSATIONAL PERFORMANCE! 😍

Very concerning. A race not just to the bottom but the far right corner of the bottom.

Couldn’t make the game today as I was driving home from Heathrow, but the goal alerts made the journey much smoother - the winner went in just as we reached home!

An unbelievable comeback from 4-1 down, to end 2024 with the unlikeliest of draws. We're off for a lie down...
