Ahhh. #publictransport. €6 for two of us to travel, by this lovely spacious train, a distance the equivalent of London to Southampton. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Croatia

Discovered the #antifa bar in #Pula. La Résistance. A gem of a roof terrace (and wheat beer) right on top of the colosseum! #Croatia 👌🏻

Caught the bus to #Verudela. Not bad! 😅 #Croatia ❤️

Robbed I tell you! #Cribbage 🤦🏻‍♂️

Croatian #goth music, #cribbage and cognac in #Pula. 🥰

Migrants already "earn the right to settlement" through extortionate visa costs, which can run into tens of thousands of pounds. They prop up key services, including through the Immigration Health Surcharge. Pushing the hostile environment on steroids helps no-one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolute obscenity

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

Pulling that face again. 🙄

Sod #TheAshes. Two years since the #ICEC and what has the #ECB put almost all its energy behind … ? The (further) privatisation of a game that doesn’t belong to them. #cricket #class #race #gender

Oi. BBC. Many experts are not skeptical. It is utter bullshit and you should call it out as such. This is the MMR bollocks x 1 million

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

Watch out ⚠️ #TheThursdayMurderClub (Keens Park Rangers FC’s ‘firm’) were out in force as both teams won this weekend. 👏🏻 The first team, making their debut at the Spectrum, got a super win over a very capable Addlestone FC. #grassrootsfootball in #Surrey keensparkrangers.com/2025/09/21/s...

When you carefully construct an organisational structure and #culture - very much the same thing - that ensures your #class always ‘win’ (as witnessed in English #cricket), these outcomes are inevitable. But, you know, ‘stop the boats’ etc. etc. 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Cats say a £22bn investment in Dreamies and new Catnip technologies will boost Britain's economy in the next few years

For people who don’t understand the background to recent events, I would recommend Phil’s summary of the Forde shenanigans as the best, most concise and most accurate tribunemag.co.uk/2022/07/labo...

I’m not one for #nostalgia when i can help it, but this #music and the concept behind does make me nostalgic for a time when this country looked forward and opportunity was (broadly speaking) there for everyone. Love the #SportforAll clip in video. Much missed concept. m.youtube.com/watch?v=kaBp...

Same thugs we've been dealing with all my life. Utterly shameful and frankly dumb that one or both of the PM or his main advisor think you appease these people.

Nowt biting but who cares?! 🎣

We don’t yet know who killed Kirk or why. Not that you’d know it from the endless numbers of accounts on X with huge follower numbers, including British politicians, making as yet unknowable claims about the motivations behind the murder. Exhibit A. Extraordinary stuff.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

Come on Scotland. Keep going.

Sad news that British, European and Commonwealth heavyweight champion and world title challenger, #JoeBugner has passed away, aged 75. Joe was a #refugee who fled Hungary in 1956 and represented his adoptive country (and Australia) with pride (and no little character)! #RIP

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

#DepecheMode hit differently in #Germany. 🖤💛❤️

Four years ago today I played #cricket on behalf of Barnardos at Wormsley. A fun day but while it represents a much vaunted aspect of the game, it is an utterly soulless venue.

Reform are closing adult education centres in Derbyshire and plan to sell off the buildings. The decision was made behind closed doors with no public allowed in the meeting and without a public consultation. Some of the centres have as much as 60% of students from the most deprived demographics.

Thunder and lightning in #Delft, so stuck in the hotel room. Thank goodness for YouTube!

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
