Clyde the harris hawk is on duty @ayrracecourse scaring off the seagulls on Coral Scottish Grand National day
William Hill Futurity day has dawned sunny at @DoncasterRaces but how is the track going to ride? Clerk of the course David Attwood is the man to ask.

Maybe you saw Trump's so desperate he's begging Putin for diesel. But listen to this: At the very same time, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign.

Extraordinary letter in @ft from former UK defence attaché at Moscow embassy - we warned you about Putin but you listened to the City instead

I’m sorry to say the BBC is committing multiple acts of self-harm. Current senior management do not seem to understand that in the changing media landscape the BBC should still be providing content the commercial sector is unwilling or unable to invest in.
Sorry to inform you that @BBCFreeThinking (and Thinking Allowed) have been cancelled as part of cost-saving measures. Last show will go out in April. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmly…

@wikiwikiwheels reports ... Princess Zahra Aga Khan hinted at the press conference that Daryz is more likely to go to stud than return to Longchamp in search of a third Arc next October. "You get to the point where you're taking a risk every time you run the horse." she said.

Having joined us in August on the rider pathway, Bella has now progressed to becoming an intermediate learner, taking on greater responsibilities and continuing to develop her skills both in and out of the saddle.
In this episode, Bella talks about the new responsibilities she has taken on, riding more challenging horses and working with Level 2 and Level 3 horses, as well as the areas she wants to focus on over the next couple of weeks.
She also explains just how important fitness is when it comes to progressing as a rider and preparing for a career in the racing industry. 💪

This is worth reading.
How is a regulator as stubborn, flawed, dogma-driven and self-serving as @GamRegGB (at least under its most recent, thankfully now-departed leaders) permitted credibly to continue to shape Government policy?
Gambling Commission this week reveals policymakers were misled about official statistics on youth gambling; and that, despite children being unable to tell the difference between real life and computer games, we should believe them anyway.danwaugh.substack.com/p/jump…
It’s the last chance of the year to go racing @RiponRaces and it’s a glorious day.

What a brilliant speech by @hollowood_zoe at the @LibDems conference. Why won’t sane Lib Dems listen to her? She’d make a fabulous MP. But no: instead, we see what a dismal, woman-hating party the @LibDems have become. Stay for the male jeering at the end of the vote

At least if a channel outright removes a show you can have a clearly defined debate over why, however much you disagree.
There's something sinister about this ongoing retrospective moral pruning.
Especially when the sketches were literally satirising the thought processes behind racism.
