Happy Valentines Day to my wife. We have been together 14 years now, or, if your #RachelFromAccounts. the best part of a century.

Has Kier Starmer failed the UK in his first 215 days? Hit like if you agree.

Better democracy. Decentralisation of power. Simplification of lines of accountability. They aren't tangible, but it isn't my fault you guys can't deal in the abstract. Pretty big, fundamental benefits, that the EU fails on.



London, Oxford, Cambridge...As ever, the conversations on economic growth centre around London and the South. Can someone please remind politicians that the North exists? bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg7z…

Winston Churchill did no such things. That you have the audacity to post such vile libel against the man that did the most to save the world from Nazism & fascism, Without any sense of remorse speaks volumes. Let’s debunk your drivel… First of all, the Bengal Famine killed…

Hitler massacred 6 million Jews in a horrifying genocide. Churchill, on the other hand, is responsible for policies that led to the deaths of 30 million Indians. Hitler’s atrocities targeted Europe, but Churchill’s imperial rule systematically crushed India - subjugating its…

1. It would tarnish Keir Starmer’s career and put his competency and judgment in question.. 2. Inner city ghetto constituencies are their voter base. This is more important to them than protecting children.

Meet Jess Phillips, she is the safeguarding minister. She has refused an inquiry into muslim grooming gangs. Can someone tell her she is supposed to be safeguarding children not the gangs.

this was magnus carlsen reaction to nepo-dubov knight dance and pre arranging the results #chesspunks #WorldBlitz credits-GJ chess youtube

Magnus Carlsen suggested to Ian Nepomniachtchi to share the first place! #RapidBlitz



Fair play to all the professional chess players standing up and calling out the ridiculous decision to share the championship between Magnus Carlsen and Nepo. Good to see they are not letting it slide. FIDE are a joke. #Chess


By the definition of the word, you cannot have two champions. You can, however, have zero champions, and that is what we have got. #RapidBlitz #ChessChampionship #magnuscarlsen


David Woods - Reading, Football, History, Chess reposted

The #jeansgate matter has seen rather divided opinions, some in favour of Magnus’s strong reactions and others stating that no one is above the rules and that FIDE was right. At least there, we can have a conversation about the issues. It looks like most if not everyone is…

If only I had known that the rules were flexible, I'd have lobbied for all 10 players who tied for first to be included in the knockout. Or, if we can have two co-champions, why not 10?! Alas...


David Woods - Reading, Football, History, Chess reposted

Magnus to Nepo: If they (FIDE) refuse (to declare us joint-winners) we'll play short draws until they give up. Idk what it's called in chess but in other sports it's called "match-fixing".


Magnus Carlsen is a liability for chess. #RapidBlitz has been ridiculous. Trying to ruin Niemann's career was a disgrace. Undermining classical is annoying. Arriving late all the time. I just don't like the classless clown. #ChessChampionship

From the perspective of a big chess fan, a player and a spectator, I have just witnessed one of the most disappointing and ridiculous things ever. A coin toss would be more appropriate. Chess is not a serious game.
