‘Tis the season 🥌

Absolutely ridiculous but entirely expected lack of spine from FIFA. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

In case you missed it, Jamaica has won a gold medal in bobsled! Shane Pitter and his 4-man team slid to gold in the second North American Cup race in Whistler in Pitter's 6th 4-man race as a pilot, beating out a pretty experienced field in the process. Race recap: www.slidingonice.com?p=13180

It's so maddening because yesterday was probably the best I've ever seen England bowl in Australia, but if you can't bat for more than 15 minutes what's the fucking point?

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

More British success overnight! Callum Dixon and Nick Gleeson finished joint-first in the 2nd two-man bobsleigh race of the North American Cup season in Whistler, Canada 🇨🇦 #TeamGB #Bobsleigh #NAC

Today, as the #CovidInquiry releases its module 2 report, we are thinking especially of everyone who will have to relive the trauma of that time, who will have to hear of the government failings that led to their loved ones' deaths.  We will never forget our beloved dead. ❤️

My thoughts are with all who lost loved ones or still struggle with effects of #Covid. Tho we knew it at the time, confirmation of the “toxic & chaotic culture” at heart of Govt; that they did “too little, too late” & that faster action could have saved over 20K lives is still horrifying

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

This will always be Boris Johnson’s legacy. An unintelligent clown with devastating consequences. Not remotely fit for any ministerial role. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives. Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield RIP. That’s a big shock.

Best of luck to all the British athletes for the 2025/26 skeleton and bobsleigh season which begins tonight (UK time) with the first races of the North American Cup campaign! A huge season lies ahead with the Winter Olympics on the horizon! #TeamGB #Skeleton #Bobsleigh #WinterOlympics

People drone on about international breaks being boring but what Scott McTominay's just done, what Troy Parrott did on Sunday, DR Congo's win, this all means more and will live longer in fans' memories than any jeopardy-free Champions League Swiss-model league phase game

These are the voters that Labour strategists have made very clear over a long period of time that they don't want any more, and it's a message that has now been heard

Oh

Labour have completely lost the plot 👇

Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say." But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question

Labour MP for Stroud, Simon Opher, says his party should "stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel". "We should push back on the racist agenda of Reform rather than echo it".

Can’t be long before a couple of Labour MPs end up moving to the Green Party. Becoming clear that a few (finally!) can no longer defend the indefensible and can no longer recognise the party they belong to.

How have Labour watched the Tories spend 2-3 years parroting Farage then lose an election badly and conclude a similar strategy is the best course of action? I. Really. Genuinely. Do Not. Get. It.

Norway 🇳🇴 could do some serious damage in next year’s FIFA World Cup. Great on the ball, very intense pressing, impressive work rate. Also helps having an absolutely ridiculous goal machine up front. They’ll be very hard to beat. #WCQ #Landslaget

England vs Ireland World Cup final it is then. #WCQ #ThreeLions

Troy Parrott. Echos of Robbie Keane's goal against Germany in 2002. What a moment. #COYBIG 🇮🇪

Oh wow! Only just seen The Republic Of Ireland result! That’s incredible! The Irish can still, somehow, qualify for the FIFA World Cup 🇮🇪 #WCQ #BoysInGreen

Can I just shock you? I like international football.
