I do wonder what knowledge I’ve sacrificed in order to accidentally memorise Half Man Half Biscuit lyrics.

They're better than ever! A whole new world for you to explore...

Triumph of the ill.

A screenshot of a Wikipedia page listing the statistics of Kieran McKenna’s reign as Ipswich Town manager. A hundred wins in just 210 games.

#ITFC Huge congratulations to Kieran McKenna on reaching a century of wins with Ipswich Town in the quickest time of *any* our managers, beating Sir Alf’s record that has stood since 1963.

Also, McKenna's home record in the EFL 😮
(This is from a week ago, it's now P75 W51!)

That's the incredible thing, isn't it? The 100 wins includes a 38-match stretch (the season in the EPL) where we only had 4 wins.

Labour PM can't even be bothered to finish abolishing *feudalism*, they're never gonna get around to capitalism

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

will nobody think of Chichester’s sick labradoodles

Cheers, added to the list!

Today's project – quite proud of this. Managing to get a teenage iPad to actually do something useful. Now on my wall as a scrolling news screen.

Adam hills, josh widdicome and Alex Brooker. Jason manford, Lou Sanders, Bella hull and Zack Polanski. The last leg.

Imagine your party has won a historic byelection.

You've had election day, a loads of interviews, held a press conference with your new MP and welcomed lots of new members.

The Greens win - What will be the consequences? In the end the Greens won the Gorton and Denton by-election with ease. Labour were third in one of their safest seats. Reform is no longer the only insurgent party of ‘change’. Given the restive mood…

Steve Richards has the best angle I've heard yet on where yesterday's by-election fits into broad recent political history.

Pulp poetry.

A picture of Reform suffering a massive loss because they are bigoted shits that only care about making themselves rich.

Matt looking like not only has he lost what Nigel promised he'd win, but he's just remembered the radiator needs bleeding and he can't remember what you do.
