The amount of folk at work who genuinely believed “something bad is about to happen” because of the Microsoft outage after all the doomsday nonsense from the government. Beyond irresponsible 🤦🏼♂️

What I would’ve given for this to have happened a couple years ago 😩
The Microsoft outage continues hours later, with Outlook and Teams still being down for many users globally.

Not a word from FIFA or UEFA.
And Israel is still allowed to compete on every level.
Rest in peace, Mahmoud Kamal Abdel-Malek. The Palestinian FA have announced the 20-year-old Gaza goalkeeper was killed by Israeli airstrike.
Just weeks ago, Abdel-Malek was in goal for his club in the Thousand Martyrs Cup, the first taste of organised football Palestine had seen in almost three years. He helped Gaza Sports Club to the final of the Gaza and North branch of the competition. This was a tournament created to honour more than 1,000 athletes killed since October 2023. Now this young keeper who played in it is one of the many names it mourns.
When football returned to Gaza as an act of remembrance and defiance, it did so on five-a-side artificial courts. Why? Because nine of the Strip’s ten stadiums have been damaged or destroyed. The same sport many of us rely on to be a safe space offers no such guarantee to the people of Gaza.
According to the Palestinian FA, 1,107 athletes have now been killed. Around 570 of them were footballers, more than 100 of them children.
And while this happens, winter is arriving in the region. The first storm of the season flooded the tents of around 26,000 households over the weekend, per the UN. At least five people were killed when an embankment collapsed onto shelters near Deir al-Balah. People who already lost their homes lost what little they had left.
Football loves to talk about family, community and togetherness. Here is a goalkeeper killed weeks after standing shoulder to shoulder with the sons, brothers and parents of those who have lost so much in the name of the beautiful game. The sport owes him and every Palestinian player more than its silence.
Our thoughts are with Mahmoud’s family, his teammates at Gaza Sports Club and everyone in Gaza facing this winter. Free Palestine.
This isn’t a want, it’s a need 🙏🏻

I swear the goal of every British company is just to be bought out by a foreign private entity firm 🤷🏼♂️

Again for the people in the back. PIP is not an out of work benefit, it gives people the ability and independence (hint is in the name) to go to work. This will lead to fewer people in work or in more precarious work.
🚨 NEW: The Government is set to ban 16-24 year olds from claiming PIP and the health element of Universal Credit after a review into unemployment
They will instead receive a new "youth allowance" paid at the standard rate of Universal Credit

Season 11: Doomsday Begins! 💥
Two timelines, the present and the future, are on a course for an Incursion! New York and Nueva York are about to collide head-on!
Will they find a solution in separation, or will each look out for its own interests? How will the heroes' actions affect the ambitions of the two Doctor Dooms? How will a pious saint with the visage of a demon and the exiled king trapped in a foreign land shoulder the burden of saving two worlds?
Worlds will collide. The Incursion is here!

At this point you simply have to assume US private equity sees the UK as easy pickings, because they can always rely on us having weak governments who are unwilling to step in and put a halt to their bullshit.
Exclusive: In a message to staff, Poundland’s boss hails an £86m turnaround in the retailer’s fortunes.
But for almost two weeks, Poundland has been unable to buy new stock because its owner, Gordon Brothers, has restricted access to funding.
The business is selling what it has but cannot replenish its shelves. And administration looms.
What a mess. Full story 👇

Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:
The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.
It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

Judge Justice Bennathan told Russell Brand the offence:
"reeks of casual disrespect and your belief that fame meant you could act how you liked, when you liked, unhindered by the rules by which decent people live". Strong.
Labour has become a parody of themselves. If we’re going to be a “nanny state”, then at least be helpful. Just been ill-thought-out policy after another that no one asked or voted for 🤷🏼♂️

Everyone's talking about the John Lewis advert. But it’s nothing compared to this masterpiece from Thorne Travel.
Power-walking travel agents. A flash mob. Pumping house music. And unofficial Disney characters.
Every time you think they’ve run out of ideas, another one arrives.

For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?
