If anyone is wondering who is really to blame for Man United's years of poor form, here's the answer.
Avram Glazer said that #mufc are not reliant on sporting success for their commercial power.
Avram made a rare appearance at Deutsche Bank’s inaugural Sports Investment Conference in London.
Sources said he argued his club’s value is incubated from the effects of sporting variance in the same way that the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys still stand out as major global brands [@lauriewhitwell]
Surely when Amol correctly identifies Paris as the capital of France he's using information stored in his long-term memory, not his working memory?
In this week’s episode of The Amol Rajan Connection: @daisychristo on how we’re messing up Education; the danger of the Stupidogenic Society; what technology does to our minds; long-term vs working memory; and how AI affects what children should learn. Out now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹
Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️

Foundations, the organisation the Children's Minister Josh MacAlister recommended creating in his national review and chaired while preparing for a political career, has, to nobody’s surprise, been handed another 10 years of public funding at £8.5m a year.

I've got opinions and I can also play musical instruments. Why not have me on @BBCNewsnight?
Maybe because my Dad was a teacher and not a millionaire with a stake in several major right wing news outlets? 🤔
"(Burnham) says he doesn't want to be divisive and yet he brings up the most divisive issue of the last 10 years"
Ex-Mumford & Sons member turned podcaster Winston Marshall says Andy Burnham's stance on Brexit won't be popular with "Red Wall" voters.

Massive respect to Nobbins appearing on @WeAreTheOverlap fan debate for his first appearance as a City fan when all the others chickened out. Shame those others who have been so confident in the past couldn't bring themselves to face the music.
I remember in my youth frequently seeing news reports about elderly people in extreme poverty or even dying of hypothermia in the winter. Not seen much of that since the triple lock.

Apparently, though, excess deaths in winter have actually not seen sustained improvement since the TL because massive increases in heating costs have outpaced increases in pensions. Our state pension is already low compared to other nations, and many pensioners still struggle.
If there's one good thing about this City scandal, at least it's given everyone a day off from going on about United 🙄
As a person who was only explicitly taught what an adverb was at university (while studying English Literature!) I couldn't agree with this thread more. There's a difference between confidently using grammar (in writing and speech) and accurately naming it.
I don't think the NHS understands how baffling its systems often are for those who must use them.
"Call us when [x] happens," they say.
I call the only number they have given me, leave a message, wait 2 weeks. Nothing.
I call again and speak to a real person.

Good grief. It takes some gall to be this condescending in the forward to a book about a subject you have no experience of teaching.
From @tombennett71's foreword: "It is a duty upon us to use the best teaching strategies we can. This is too important to leave to the mixed-methods charlatans and literacy hobbyists."
