Rishi Sunak had a great day yesterday. No hard-hats in Birmingham, no ice creams in Rochdale, pints of real ale in Norfolk, just a Covid Inquiry in hell. And whilst he was there, being grilled by a bunch of silks, his political party was busy in Westminster plotting to de-rail either him or his make-or-break – Read More-
Ok so cycling is a big sport now. BIG. All those (tossers) people wearing lycra on a Sunday morning feeling the freedom of the open road, with the wind in their testicles, is a sight to behold, if not to just run over. But this is England. And many choose to do their cycling from – Read More-
Houston, we have a problem… We all love music. It’s… musical. Nice. Singalong. La-di-daaah. But thing is we’re hard wired to love music. It stirs… things inside us over which we have no control. I don’t have much control over anything really, but for music, it’s just a matter of which bit, of which song, – Read More-
I like football. There. I’ve said it. I’ve ’come out’ as a football… fan-cier. A devotee. A worshipper at the alter of the Premier League.

And why does our PM wish to take an interest in this? Particularly as his kids are stick thin? Is it for the health benefits of – Read More-
There was never a doubt in my mind about yesterday’s game. I was brimming with confidence, I was cool and calm and relaxed in my confidence in team and especially, in our manager. (Any impressions given yesterday to the contrary were typos). Because ‘in Ange we trust’. Oh. My. God. But do we trust. Even – Read More-
I’m writing this at 5.40 in the afternoon. Just after the restart of the Spurs match at Manchester City. Because my sense of impending doom, of foreboding, my sense that all is not quite right in the world, is massive. And is definitely not improved by watching the tv. In fact, it’s quite depressing. We’re – Read More-
I’m not sure what amuses me more; holding the COP 28 global warming summit in Dubai, or having the UN Human Rights convention in Iran. It’s like having a Love and Peace weekend in Millwall. Or a Michelin Star Meeting in McDonalds. A Stamp Out Money Laundering campaign at the Etihad. A World Transparency Event – Read More-
