You can count the number of times I've felt sympathy for Chelsea on the fingers of one finger but that VAR decision was a shocker.
Classic QPR; we beat the top two teams in the league- thrashing Leeds. But can’t beat the crap teams. Which why we are only safe on the penultimate game of season. On the other hand, phew Btw Leicester- you’re welcome

PEN is a free expression group. It has worked worldwide to protect persecuted and prosecuted writers. If it is brought down by this crisis, that is a loss for writers and writing alike.

Sex and dogs and heads will roll Good analysis of political scandals and how they change over time by @KuperSimon - he's completely right to point out that most of the "sex scandals" of the 90s would not be career-ending today. ft.com/content/967006… via @FT

@robertshrimsley @annettedittert Whilst this is an extremely important subject/article my eyes, either thru' age or a historical disposition, initially reaf 'Wallis Simons' as 'Wallis Simpson". My laughter was at my own stupidity not the rightly serious subject matter. I feel I should apologise to someone.
@robertshrimsley It’s kind of important that newspaper ownership is transparent
@robertshrimsley @FT honestly the tape is unlistenable to. I am unbearable
@robertshrimsley Very funny (and true). Apart from his outrageous attack on Glasgow. lol
@drechsler_paul @robertshrimsley @FT Agree. Superb piece.
@robertshrimsley Yes. As you point out, there is a perfectly good pro-London Tory history: Thatcher had a London seat; Notting Hill Tories; Johnson. I described it by reference to (Richard) Curtisland, a place that used to read as Right but perhaps doesn't now (at furtheroralternatively.blogspot.com/2021/05/london…).
"Tories need to learn to love London again" - spot on by @robertshrimsley ft.com/content/39f7d7… via @FT
Spot on from @robertshrimsley. You could infer from Tory language that they loathe their capital, and one of the world's most successful and inspiring cities, which is v peculiar — not least given their demographic challenges and the clear fruitfulness in showing affection for it
If there is anything close to an iron law in politics it is that people will not vote for parties that do not seem to like them Why The Tories must learn to love London again. ft.com/content/39f7d7…
Worth a read from @robertshrimsley, on how the Tories increasingly seem to hate the city they want to lead. Can't help but think of Greg Hands' weird anti-Leon rant. ft.com/content/39f7d7…
Spot on from @robertshrimsley - Loving your own national capital (and biggest asset on the world stage) should come as naturally to politicians as posing with St George's flags

@robertshrimsley @schneiderhome Biden too, remember the "he's just another obama" line of 2019?
@robertshrimsley @schneiderhome That was my recollection. Plus Lord Hailsham went suddenly mute on 'Electoral Dictation' & the 'Salisbury Convention'.
What's that? A "pint sized" jibe at PMQs about the petite PM? Another chance to punt my piece on mistaking physical substance for political heft? Well if I must ... on.ft.com/4baIb9m
