While I appreciate a £200k salary is rare in Britain Calling managers in banks & tech companies on PAYE “wealthy” and pulling them in for a face to face is absolutely wild

Nearly £1bn worth of players first team and academy. People are so ignorant about City it hurts.
Great result for Aston Villa. Superb to see them beat Man City. Can anyone tell me how often City have had to sell players to balance the books recently? Feels like Villa have had to do it a lot

For those of you who thought the visit from a Bedford Borough Council official to investigate our daughter Zoe’s (age 12) pretend teddy bear cafe was too ridiculous to be real, here is the arrival of official. This is totally legit. She really did show up at our property to investigate the illegal teddy bears having their coffee🧸🧸☕️☕️

Bill Maher nails it on Britain’s welfare addiction here. “The UK has had seven Prime Ministers in ten years. That’s because no politician can be what the people want: a genius who figures out how to give out endlessly more money with ever less working people.”

Is that Konsa who Villa had to sell to a Red Cartel team due to rules brought in by (checks notes) the Red Cartel?
Centre-back-to-back, Konsa, now Gabriel, Arsenal chasing back-to-back titles. #AFC #ARSEVE

Fuck me the way the media are going on you’d have thought it was the St Crispins Day speech from Henry V rather than a pre match press conference
Sympathised with Carrick before today and genuinely felt for him during his monologue. Was in the front row and he made eye contact with those of us sat before him throughout those six minutes. Carrick merits respect for that and if or when he does go, he will go with dignity. He's never hidden (unlike some players and staff), has no issue fronting up and accepts the realities of the situation. There will be more goodwill towards him from matchgoers on Sunday. #mufc

Bloom filter. Next.
Interview question: You type a username and within seconds it says “Username already taken.” There are millions of accounts. How does the system check that so quickly?

Sure would be a lot easier to prepare for if our government hadn’t given us the highest energy prices in Europe - but solving that is much easier than just pushing the responsibility onto individuals to cope every time isn’t it?
Did no one see the news story about the supermarket fridges in France? 500 stores impacted, millions of euros worth of food ruined. That was a hack, these things can happen. If our Government ignored this kind of thing it would be hugely irresponsible.

I wonder why that might be
Is deeply odd this profusion of people mocking the idea that people having basic supplies - food, water, some cash, wind-up radio - is somehow silly, a joke or weird. In countries such as Finland and Sweden this is absolutely standard, part of their “total defence” doctrine.

Just have to chalk this one up to bad luck
A group of Aston Villa supporters have taken to the roads surrounding Villa Park to write messages with chalk including ‘115 KICK THEM OUT’ and ‘SHAMCHESTER’ ahead of tomorrow’s game against City. 🖍️ Within less than an hour, rain in Birmingham has caused the messages to wash away. 🌧️😂

The galling thing about the Barclays job cuts is that nearly all of it will make its way into the pockets of investors

The cause for investor alarm, by the way, is that Barclays made a quarterly profit of £2.3bn rather than the expected £2.4bn. Better get the violins out.

The Traitors and the Premier League aside I’m not sure anyone under 50 watches TV anymore
A daytime repeat of The Chase was ITV’s most-watched programme yesterday, beating everything else. ITV bosses are understood to be urgently investigating whether an episode of Tipping Point from 2012 might save the autumn schedule.

A lot of this comes from the government mindset of never getting caught looking like you are unprepared. This explains a lot from overbearing advice to ratcheting COVID restrictions Government by what the Daily Mail says
This drip feed of government advice on stockpiling via guidance is not helpful and will make many people anxious. Feels like when they used the emergency alert unnecessarily this summer. If he believes there are genuine risks the PM should go on TV and say so to the public.

I’m very glad we have our priorities in order as a country
Smart TVs will be forced to power up more slowly under plans to align Britain with the EU’s net zero rules. The rules would probably mean smart TVs and other devices have to disconnect from WiFi when not in use, slowing down their “wake-up” time when a user switches them on again ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…
