No Fairytale for Messi...

So Tuchel has found his best side...

I've just signed "Tell Andy Burnham to launch a National Commission on Electoral Reform" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/na... @OpenBritainHQ

Andy Burnham will be PM for no more than 3 years then...

Lets be honest, France have looked good against sides that they'd expect to beat easily along with a massively under strength Norway.

Did the French players miss the two Spanish goals?

If "Welsh" Labour thinks this is how they come back then they're delusional. Absolute c*nts.

France are playing like they don't realise they're 2 down

Loving the boos for Infantino

Anonymous buyer, aka some ludicrously wealthy individual with little to no value to society who is able to acquire something that clearly should be available for public viewing.

Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper caused outrage some years ago when it published an article likening African migrants to cockroaches. Now Murdoch's Talk has been airing commentary describing refugees as "vermin" and "parasites". Take action: actionstorm.org/petitions/ko...

A historic day. A privilege to witness.

Oh joy. France v Spain on ITV with Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon. Thank God for Ally McCoist.

Add that £10bn to the tens of billions list due to Hunt's reckless uncosted NI cuts and there's the money that could be funding increases in defence spending that the right is demanding...

Mae Llafur yn bygwth gweithio gyda Reform UK a'r Torïaid i rwystro buddsoddiad ym mlaenoriaethau pobl Cymru. Mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw ddewis a ydyn nhw am gefnogi pobl Cymru, neu Farage.

Ireland should be thankful they're playing in Newcastle in pleasant rugby conditions and not over in the searing heat of Japan like Cymru had to last year...

Binface: "Boris Johnson proved you need more than a personality to be PM. Keir Starmer has proved the opposite."

Keir Starmer finishing as Labour leader in the way he ran his leadership campaign and spent his entire time as leader & PM - breaking pledges.

Farage says that he's looking forward to the by election as it's going to be "lovely in Clacton". I think we've found the issue. Farage clearly doesn't realise he can go to Clacton at other times, not just when he is fighting an election...

To be fair, this guy understands a thing or two about free speech...

Number crunching: “Reform is now the party of workers” From the new Private Eye, out now.

Hi Miranda (@greenmirandahere.bsky.social ) Could you possibly request that Iain retracts Tuesday's Pod comment repeating the (now corrected) false Times claims about care workers' dependents. 180 referred to the thousands of Cameroon immigrants already here, not the 12 who came this year.

I know it's expected from the BBC but the line of questioning to other parties on if it's wrong not standing in Clacton is pathetic. Farage is the sitting MP with no need to resign, it's just a temper tantrum publicity stunt and the fact that centre, left & right have all snubbed him says it all.

UK income tax personal allowance frozen at £12,570 since 2021. If increased in line with inflation, it would be £16,048 for 2026/27. As a result, in 2026/27 someone earning £17,000 will pay additional £696 in income tax and £278 in national insurance. All because govts appease the rich.

The U.S. spent $103 billion in the first 120 days of Trump’s war on Iran. That could fund… -Food stamps for an entire year -Medicaid coverage for nearly 30 million children -ACA subsidies for about 2.5 years It’s not a question of what we can afford. It’s a question of priorities.

You're know you're officially old when your eyes light up when the BBC Continuity Announcer says "next, the Repair Shop" 😅

These people have no comprehension of ethics in public life and yet they constantly lecture to others. Furthermore the £5m was, we were told, for security* so why did he need a criminal's money as well? *or Ferraris www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

so this incident in the pub, in which a "mob" bashed Nigel's car up so badly it was written off, but it seems no-one filmed it? for socials? and he didn't tell his insurer or the police or the media? gee whizz, i wanna know more about this, sounds terrible

The way this is heading, the by election will be a showdown between the Monster Raving Loony Party and the Official Monster Raving Loony Party.

"Emergency podcasts, sir. Thousands of 'em"

So all that criticism from Reform about the waste of taxpayer money over Makerfield / Greater Manchester elections and now Farage is forcing a by election? Fucking hypocrisy. To sort of quote Kevin Keegan, I would love it if he lost...

One has to hand it to Gianni Infantino... He has managed to make FIFA even more corrupt than it was under Sepp fucking Blatter. Now that takes some real effort.

Climate deniers claiming every year that the current UK summer heatwave isn't really that bad because "1976" is not making the point they think it is...

JustGiving now defaults its optional "tip" to 19%. That’s on top of the fee charities already pay. The 19% goes to JustGiving, not the charity. Check before donating: reduce it (even to £0) and, if you can give more, increase the donation instead – not the tip.

Fair play to Fiji for making Cardiff seem like a home game. Even down to the bloke butchering Hen Wlad fy Nhadau.

Unlike in the murder of Henry Nowak, the family argue that the murder could actually have been prevented if the police had acted appropriately. Anyone know if Farage called for "pure cold rage" and did the far right riot in this case, or maybe the murderer was too white?

Britain sheds a Keir (surely tear? Ed) The new Private Eye is out now.

Really helpful information if you're in Cymru. BBC weather obliterates the whole country with its graphics. It makes a change though, they usually obliterate just the centre of the country with the word Birmingham.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Surely that's the end of the first quarter? #hydrationcommercialbreak

I can't remember it ever being 8C hotter in Cardiff at 8pm than it is in NYC at 3pm, lol

"Energy efficiency programmes often overlook the risk of trapping summer heat inside well-insulated homes." Unbelievable ignorance of how insulation works.

Is this the line? This does not seem to me like the best possible line. If this were my line, I would go back into hiding and come up with a better line.

The BBC continues to disgust with its bias. TV Breakfast headlines at 7am included the sentencing today of Peter Murrell for embezzling party funds but there was no mention of yesterday's conviction of DUP paedophile rapist Jeffrey Donaldson. Murrell's campervan dominated headlines for weeks.

I think it's pretty clear who FIFA want to win...

Just wondering if the journalists who interviewed Farage questioned him on the £5m donation that he's hidden away from for weeks... #sarcasm

Billionaire owned media has spent 20 years trying to label anyone to the left of Blair as "hard left", so sadly this is unsurprising.

Burnham is back in Westminster and back in his suit. It won't be long before he's possessed by the ghost of Friedrich Hayek, like the rest of them...

a theory: Camilla Long is actually on holiday so wrote early and scheduled an email before she went
