It'll warm up this week, with temps reaching 10-15C.
In a parallel universe of tabloid weather nonsense, the UK was set to be in the midst of a deep freeze and snow.
See the trend here? Walls of snow that never come.
Meanwhile, they're headlining snow in 2 weeks.๐

โWhen I was running for president of the US I promised Iโd end the war in Ukraine within 24hrs. But that proved too tough, so I decided to release 1500 criminals and watch a dickhead do Nazi salutes instead.โ

The govt have now confirmed that these controls will indeed be delayed for a fifth time, until January 2024. A reminder of why this matters.
THREAD: last month I wrote about the next stage of Brexit: delayed border controls for food stuffs coming into the UK, which would crush supply from small EU producers and exacerbate food inflation. Lo, those controls have been delayed for a fifth time 1/

Word of the day, again, is โultracrepidarianโ (19th century): one who loves to give their opinion on matters they know nothing about.

On this day in 1746: The Battle of Culloden took place. The Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart were defeated by loyalist troops commanded by the Duke of Cumberland, William Augustus, near Inverness. Over 1,500 Jacobites were killed or wounded in less than an hour.

Two goals from Scott McTominay either side of half time means it's two wins out of two to start our European Qualifying campaign!

Worth remembering that very right-wing oligarchs own The Times, The Sun, The Mail, The Telegraph (& the Sunday editions), the Spectator, GBeebies, Talk TV & the Conservative Party. The Express pursues their agenda for financial reasons. And they're all terrified of Gary Lineker.

As commentators on MOTD, we have decided to step down from tomorrow nightโs broadcast. We are comforted that football fans who want to watch their teams should still be able to do so, as management can use World Feed commentary if they wish.
