Spent a lifetime trying to remember a book we did at school. Loved it. Was absolutely convinced it was Day of the Jackal. Read it a while back and and realised it wasn't it. SUDDENLY remembered what it was today. Any guesses as to what it actually was? 🙏

Absolutely and utterly pathetic
Republic of Ireland’s players are considering boycotting Sunday’s match against Israel after Gavin Bazunu, the goalkeeper, said he did not want to play.
Meetings are taking place at the team’s hotel in Hungary this morning as the players discuss whether they will collectively refuse to play the Nations League game as an act of protest against Israel’s actions in Gaza.

What about Iran who have been bombed needlessly recently? Free them or just a selected group?

This is a really excellent and informative read and helps to answer a question I have long wondered. I.e if arts courses are cheap to teach, why are they the first ones to get cut?
In exciting news for about five people, KPMG have produced a new report for the Department of Education on the cost of teaching university degrees. Thread on some points of interest, especially the financial crisis engulfing English Higher Education.

God I remember this. One of several times that year I saw Bis. Also other bands.
What a fantastic festival experience this was. Okay, I had just chosen to split with my boyfriend but I had lots to take my mind off it - photos with Rancid, photos of Nicola Rin with Dave Grohl and Mike D, then the Prodigy signed a photograph for my Dad. Happy days 🤗

As someone who grew up in Cheam this is the first time I have ever heard of ‘The Cheam Music & Piano Salon’.

Randomly discovering Angine du Poitrine is quite a thing. Any music lovers who follow me, I recommend checking out their appearance on Jools Holland’s show.
So bizarre but very intriguing and exciting to listen to.

book is currently on sale.
written in 2012, published in 2013 but still more uptodate that the Treasury Select Committee etc.
I had forgotten it has a back cover endorsement from the current Home Secretary - ulp!

This guy seems like a thoroughly decent human being. We need more of them in politics..but not dancing to the tune of Farage
🧵I want to thank Labour members and friends for asking whether I would stand again.
The Labour Party has made the right choice today, to not stand a candidate in this sham by-election.

🚨 BREAKING: Vitor Pereira statement confirming his Nottingham Forest departure.
"Today marks the end of my journey as Head Coach of Nottingham Forest.
"I want to say a sincere thank you to everyone connected with this incredible football club. Although this decision came as a complete surprise to me and without any warning, I fully respect the club's right to make the decisions it believes are best for its future.
"Naturally, I am disappointed and saddened. I truly believed in what we were building together, and I leave with a sense of pride in everything we achieved over the past months.
"Together, we enjoyed a memorable end to the season. We secured the club's Premier League status, reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, and created moments that will stay with me forever. Most importantly, I saw a group of players grow in confidence, belief and togetherness. Watching them develop, fight for one another and represent this club with passion has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
"I would like to thank my coaching staff, the players, everyone behind the scenes, and especially the supporters. From my first day, your passion, loyalty and unwavering support made me feel incredibly welcome. You were with us through every challenge and every success, and I will always be grateful for that.
"I leave Nottingham Forest with no bitterness or resentment—only respect, gratitude and wonderful memories. Football is full of unexpected moments, and while this chapter has ended sooner than I expected, I will always look back on my time here with pride and affection.
"I wish the players, the staff, the supporters and everyone at Nottingham Forest every success in the future. This is a special club, and I sincerely hope it continues to grow and achieve great things."

Breaking 2 hours before the membership renewal deadline...suspicious.
🚨🌳 EXCLUSIVE: Nottingham Forest and Vitor Pereira could NOT continue together for the upcoming season.
Understand there’s movement behind the scenes at #NFFC and Pereira could be gone.

Some weird stuff going round about the Elliot Anderson fee. This is it ⬇️ (and this was always it). Confirmed at both ends. #NFFC #MCFC
🚨 Manchester City agree to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest in deal worth £116m. Fee guaranteed with no add-ons. #MCFC record transfer for 23yo #NFFC midfielder - set for medical in NYC on Friday before signing long-term contract @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7349288…

Did Elliot asking for a transfer (as reported) save Forest some severance pay (and maybe a payment related to the fee received) that could inflate the net value to NFFC even if not the payment from City?

Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
