Postwar travel promised freedom but felt lonely, transient, and anonymous. Hotel Window (1955) studies that mood, reframing mobility as a new kind of isolation. #artbots #hopper

It's pretty insane how there's a right-wing discourse in the United States that London is collapsing and unsafe. Crossrail alone feels like Star Trek compared to anything in New York. The London Underground has been modernized. Street infrastructure is better. And there's significantly less gun violence.
Real legacy achievement this and Khan deserves real kudos for cutting through everything to get here.

The ceremony and the presentation were a bit less lavish and glamorous ... the golden ball a bit smaller ... the venue of presentation was Old Trafford ... 3 times ... Ballon d'Or 1964 ... 1966 ... 1968 ... Denis Law, Bobby Charlton and George Best ... all of Manchester United Football Club ... @UtdBeforFergie

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

Tony Wilson introducing the Happy Mondays on The Other Side of Midnight, Manchester 4th September 1988. teeing up a band who were about to flip the entire scene on its head. Madchester energy, attitude and danger live, loud and unfiltered.

New from me: The US has faced a higher cost than any other country from the global Hormuz oil shock, with the crisis adding $160 billion to its fuel bill — or $471 per person on average — despite being the world’s largest oil producer.

A whole street was destroyed tonight in #Kyiv. This is happening because #russia has $$$ for missiles and #Ukraine has had no deliveries of NASAM or Patriot missiles.

The only change at MUFC is that Michael Carrick will play centre mid at Chelsea. Plus Jonny Evans will return as a central defender. Any delay was because Evans wanted confirmation that he wouldn't win the Ballon d'Or last night. He has a point to prove. They all do. Big time

#BBCNews abandoned Burnham's Downing Street speech on rough sleeping to cover the sentencing of an American singer, Chris Brown. BBC's priorities and news judgments are shot to pieces. @BBCNews @newswatchbbc

Russia is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity by intentionally attacking civilian infrastructure – including vital energy systems – in Ukraine, an independent UN investigations panel said on Monday. cnn.com/2026/10/26/europe/un…

Russian ballistic missiles struck the grounds of a university in Kyiv and the area around it – effectively the campus, Kyoto Park, the area near a metro station, and residential buildings. The exact number of casualties is not yet known. But tragically, there are victims. There are people injured. Rescue operations are underway. There is extensive damage, and there are also reports that people may be trapped under the rubble. All emergency services are at the scene and doing their work – saving lives. The missiles hit very crowded areas, and there is not a single military facility nearby. This was a strike directly on the city, on its infrastructure. Unfortunately, there may be more strikes coming. The attack with “shaheds” is also continuing – against Kyiv and our other cities and communities. And it is precisely under such circumstances, when the threat is constant, when strikes can come at any moment and target cities and villages directly, that artificial delays in providing air defense to Ukraine help terror. It is important that political agreements be implemented promptly at the team level. It is important that our partners understand that Ukraine needs the proper tools to destroy Russian ballistic missile launchers. This would be the most effective way to save lives. It is important that the world sees that Russia is showing nothing but a desire to kill and continue waging war. Ukraine must not be left to face this alone, and it is solely Russia’s fault that the war is still going on and people are still dying. Please take care of yourselves. All partners should stand with Ukraine – with the protection of lives.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. bbc.co.uk/future/article/202…

FOM is not unfettered, Jenrick. There is even a specific EU Directive limiting internal migration to 3 months without a job. It's just that the UK failed to apply that while a member, unlike all other EU states. #bbclaurak

This was a really striking moment. Those in the stands could not have made it clearer that they feel even if Carrick takes the fall for this, he should not be taking the blame. #MUFC
Emotional exit by Michael Carrick as fans sing his name. A farewell? Supporters turn on players once Carrick down tunnel. #MUFC

Some thoughts on the mess at Manchester United, including the crisis of leadership throughout. The only blameless people are the fans. #MUFC

Zelensky says Russia launched around 1,600 guided aerial bombs, 48 missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles, and nearly 2,300 attack drones at Ukraine over the past week. He said this is how Russia is responding to diplomacy and efforts to end its isolation. #Ukraine
