5 d. ago Manchester United in a funk after coastal sojourn to Grimsby turns Super Bad | Football Daily

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Fifty-five years have passed since James Brown, singer, songwriter and minister of new super-heavy funk, released a song about people who “like a dull knife [that] just ain’t cutting”, were “talking loud and saying nothing”. Manchester United would probably have preferred to prompt thoughts of Brown’s I Feel Good but they are where they are – and if they ever do shake their money-makers they could probably then benefit from dropping a few of them. Sometimes we don’t get to choose which 70s deep funk classic we unwittingly call to mind, and Ruben Amorim left no doubt when after Wednesday night’s ineffably miserable defeat by Grimsby he opined about feeling “my players spoke really loud today At half-time I told them that they were speaking really loud to me. I understand what you are doing, what I am seeing.” Like a dull knife, they just weren’t cutting.Physically, because they’re small, they look like wee boys. They’re clearly not w...

6 d. ago The immigration problem that really concerns me? US celebrities | Frances Ryan

There are worrying signs that this uber-wealthy wave of migrants don’t truly understand British values. Have they even been to the big Asda?With September around the corner, this feels the right time to admit how I’ve spent the summer: tracking the invasion of foreigners to Britain. Tempted by our culture and a stable democracy, swathes of immigrants are coming here for a new life. While the rest of us toil at work and struggle to get on the housing ladder, many “foreign nationals” are enjoying luxury accommodation and hanging out idly in the streets. Still, it’s nice that Ellen DeGeneres has found happiness in the Cotswolds now that her chatshow has ended.Having relocated from the US after Donald Trump’s re-election last year, Degeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have spent the summer effectively doing full-time English cosplay. In recent weeks, DeGeneres has shared with her 135 million Instagram followers such idyllic countryside pastimes as: buying sheep, riding a horse, mowi...

8 d. ago How to find community in 2025: ‘The most important thing I’ve learned is I’m not alone’

Civic participation is in decline across the English-speaking world. To opt out of the trend, Tom Gill learns to join inThey say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. The idea? That everything has a cost, even if not financial. But I’m at my local Neighbourhood House, one of many community centres found across Australia, breaking bread with strangers and eating a genuinely free lunch. While it cost me time, what I’ve gained feels socially priceless: I’m getting to know my neighbours, something fewer and fewer Australians are doing.In 2000, Robert Putnam’s book Bowling Alone warned of declining civic participation and social connection in US society. Americans, he argued, were retreating from clubs, associations and volunteer groups – the building blocks of community connection – in favour of a more solitary existence. As Putnam put it at the time: “We used to bowl in leagues; now we bowl alone.” Continue reading...

In an exclusive extract from his new book, the former Meta number two recalls the mindset, the mantras and the man at the top• Read an interview with Nick Clegg hereI’m not a creature of Silicon Valley. I didn’t study computer science. I’ve never written a line of code. I haven’t spent my career immersed in the processes, debates and science of technological progress. I came to Meta, Facebook as it then was, in 2018 as an emigre from the world of British and European politics. I wasn’t really sure what to expect.As an Englishman, I never cease to be amazed by the sheer scale of America. It’s striking, when you first set foot in this part of Northern California, how remote it feels from the power centres of the east coast. It’s not just the nearly 3,000 miles that separate you from Washington DC and New York; the three-hour time difference means you feel out of sync.
