Farewell to El Gato, Corbyn’s cat with a cult following ‘The Cat’ sadly passed away this week, and so here is the Islington North MP’s own tribute to his feline companion

Thank you to Islington Tribune for publishing my farewell to El Gato.

Rest in peace El Gato, you made our house a home and made many people very happy. www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/fare...

Only just realised it's the Emirates FA Cup.

That Emirates. The Emirates owned by the Dubai Investment Corporation.

Apparently some oil money is dirtier than others. See also human rights abuses etc.

On the back of the Veitch chat yesterday:

Colin Veitch handwritten letter to Bradford captain James Speirs ahead of the 1911 FA Cup final.

Said it for years. Until people who send their kids to private school have to send them to a “normal” school we’ll never get the changes we need in education

Should just abolish them all full stop. Follow the Finnish model, abolish fee-paying education and watch them all be desperate to see their local schools finally get some funding instead of being cut to the bone.

Newcastle United, Geordie identity and the strangest trophy drought in sport It has been 55 years without a trophy for Newcastle, a drought that mirrors the loss of industry in the north east. Now there's mega money; still there's desperation

I went to Newcastle United to write about the most extraordinary trophy drought in sport, pressure and a majestic city that lost its industry but never its identity.

One of the biggest problems I think we have is a lack of leadership on the pitch.

We badly miss what prime Trippier offered us week in week out. #NUFC
