29 years ago today, St. James' Park witnessed pure magic. Newcastle 3, Barcelona 2. Faustino Asprilla sank the Spanish giants with an unforgettable Champions League hat-trick. Absolute stuff of legends! 🖤🤍 #NUFC #NUFCNews #Newcastle #EPL #FCBarcelona

On the phone to the Samaritans the other night one of my gripes was that my hairline resembles that of Alan Gilzean. The counsellor was supportive, but unaware of the G force.

At what point do Starmer, the Tory advisors he's surrounded himself with, and his cabinet of cowards look at the polls and realise that keeping Daily Mail readers' obsessions and talking points in the headlines every day has been a fucking disaster?

Thinking of starting a podcast called "They F***ed me over". The basic premise is that I'd invite people on to talk about their experiences of egregious management excess. Obviously it would have to be people who rejected the NDA.

“The crisis in our universities has all the hallmarks of a test case for Labour’s commitment to a ‘decade of national renewal’. There is nothing sensible or pragmatic about sitting on the sidelines while our last world-leading sector crashes and burns.” politicshome.com/thehouse/ar…

Universities are in crisis – yet Labour ministers are sitting on their hands

Britain's universities tend to figure in the public imagination these days as political playthings, seen first and foremost as fodder for the culture wars.

Only a nationwide strike can stem the carnage in UK higher education

Limiting industrial action to defensive branch battles on redundancy is not enough. We need to politically challenge the HE funding model, says Rhiannon Lockley

Sorry, Lily Collins, but when people outsource childbirth, their motives really count | Martha Gill

Whether it’s infertility, to save a career or pure altruism, is there ever a reason that can morally justify surrogacy?

The beautifully located village of Arrochar, standing at the head of Loch Long in Argyll & Bute. It's been popular with visitors since steamers arrived on the Clyde in the early 1800. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/a…
The beautifully located village of Arrochar. The loch fills the foreground reflecting the bright blue sky. The village runs along the right-hand side of the loch, with rising ground behind it and more distantly on the left of the loch and at its far end. There is a yacht moored in the loch.
