John is always right everything. ‘

The great @bbcjohnmurray says while he’s no fan of the Telegraph’s BBC bashing, its sports writing is excellent. He surely has one eye on big cuts being made by its new owners. I hear the sports department hit hard.

@sgfmann *please share* West Ham United The Alan Pardew Years Part 9 Nov-Dec 2004. Pardew is still on the ropes despite a 2-0 win at promotion rivals Sunderland. Going 2-0 down at bottom club Rotherham dosn't help. youtu.be/9QGqN5eWfzM?is=F-eU…

Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found. The operation is part of an effort to root out potential noncitizen voters ahead of the midterms. cbsn.ws/4eF7Zyv

INEOS record at Man United: actively try to replace Ten Hag. Give Ten Hag new contract. Sack Ten Hag. Appoint Amorim. Worst league finish in over 50 years. Sack Amorim. Appoint the interim. Set to sack the interim. The positions of those decision-makers should now be untenable.

It's not rocket science to figure out why paedos gravitated to the BBC. Prestigious employer, gave them power, particularly gave them access to youth culture. So to do Jenrick's parallel properly, I'd love to know why he thinks this lot were attracted to Reform UK?
