NEW: President Biden given permission to Ukraine to use long range US missiles inside Russia for the first time. Major change in US policy, two months before Trump takes office. Biden has authorised it in response to North Korean troops being deployed to the frontlines.
The X exodus? Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, The Guardian newspaper, and even the Clifton Suspension Bridge have joined swathes of people deserting Elon Musk's social media site X
I have reported about 50 of these from the far right and none have been upheld. So case proven.
Crackers. Intellectually crackers to be fair. But still crackers. I am so tired of these nut jobs.
The two-year contract Jason Gillespie signed in April appears to have become a tour-by-tour arrangement
PCB strongly refutes the story. As announced previously, Jason Gillespie will continue to coach the Pakistan side for the two red-ball matches against South Africa.
I've not left and don't plan to, but I'm naturally spending more time on the other place. Mainly because I get far more engagement with my writing (due to lack of link suppression). But the lack of constant antisemitic abuse is a nice bonus.
I wanted friends on Twitter to see this. I understand the impatience with people self-importantly announcing they are leaving Twitter. I don’t wish to leave and for now don’t intend to, but I am certainly being tested. As a Jew you get SO much of this. I mean, it fills a…
Follow @cwjreynolds is my advice if you want nails hit on heads in a wry fashion. Suspect imminent transfer to bluesky?
Strongly refuting that you are going to fire someone by making a point of saying he’s definitely doing TWO more games is an interesting strategy

The Tories - Johnson, Truss, etc - were not “right wing”. They increased welfare, tax, immigration & debt to new records and vastly expanded bailouts, regulations & money printing Isn’t this called socialism? thetimes.com/article/54a202…
Last month I was weening myself off social media. This month I have joined BlueSky also at @davidkhopps What I am going to do next month, you tell me.
Journalists etc moving to that other network isn't just snowflake liberal flight. It's also a very rational decision about how bad this place now is as a place for spreading work. Below are stats for today's column. BS here first, X second. And this despite 7x more followers on X
In 2004 West Yorkshire’s productivity was higher than Greater Manchester’s. In the period since then it has fallen behind; by a long way. And the comparison with the UK average is not good either.
Just caught up with the Match of the Day debate. Diversity, equality (call it what you will) really matters, but once Lineker goes, if you judge on meritocracy then Mark Chapman is streets ahead.
Do you ever get the feeling the world’s gone crazy? With this in mind, I play the Flintstones theme in the style of the Russian classics.
Piroe. Will smash in a Harry Kane esque finish where you're going 'wow that's outstanding' and then 5 minutes later he looks like he's won a competition to play the game
Who is your most “I can’t work out if you’re a good footballer or not” player. Garnacho for me. Plenty of ability, but somethings missing. Who’s yours
Gone to a favourite Colombo bar to watch the rugby only to find the sound is turned down and commentary instead is provided by a know-nothing coughing Scottish businessman shouting his views on Sri Lanka. Not about to invest. (*Old fashioned tweet. Is BlueSky any good?) 😩😩😩
I’m about 18 months behind, anally doing them in order, and I’m sure I’ve just heard @holland_tom say “We must do Nelson”. #betterlatethannever 😄
Starting next week, @TheRestHistory is kept warm by zeal for king & country. We bring you the greatest hero in the history of the world ever: HORATIO NELSON!!!
Can you guess which umpire made the stumps feel this big? 🤔
