Why? Hibs fan. There’s your explanation.

If people are making money from it, it shouldn’t be classed as “social media”. It should be classed as commercial media and held to the same legal/regulatory standards of truth and impartiality.

This article proves that the Daily Mail is on Putin’s side, just like it was once on Hitler’s side.

“… what critics are calling a politically motivated prosecution”. 🙄 Cowardly, split-the-difference journalism is a greater threat to democracy than anything the far right could organise on its own. Yes, BBC and New York Times, I’m looking at you.

Wouldn’t be the first German fascist to flee to Argentina, would he?

Among its other failings as an institution is the consistently abysmal way the BBC treats women presenters.

Presumably Blair thinks the UK should be volunteering to “blow up” Oman to win Trump’s approval.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.”

Discarded Pulp lyric.

There’s nothing left of Blair except an embarrassing caricature of the man he used to be. He’s just a hollow, money grubbing egotist with nothing useful to contribute to the modern world.

Would be genuinely funny if Shankland won nothing at Rangers. It’s not impossible. They’ve only won the cup and the diddy cup in the last five years. And no manager will know better how to play Shankland out of a game than McInnes.

I can’t get the image of Peter Murrell playing Grand Theft Auto in a “slouch pouch” onesie out of my mind.

Farage has now named the “counter-espionage experts” who examined his phone.

We’ve had better players before and we’ll have better players in the future. Life will be just fine without him. He’ll be 31 when the new season starts, so there’s a good chance we’ve already had the best of him and that he’ll flop for Rangers. Bring on the next thing.

Given that there’s only really relegation at stake today, I’m surprised no one is calling it Submarine Sunday.

This has cheered me. 🍾🇱🇻🏆

Too busy surrendering to Iran to attend his own son’s wedding. Trump is a terrible human being in every respect.

I’m eagerly awaiting news of the terms of America’s surrender.

It’s amusing to see how localised support for Glasgow and Liverpool is compared to Edinburgh and Manchester.

Marco Rubio: Cuba is a threat to the US because it has Russian arms and intelligence facilities. Guess who also has Russian arms and intelligence facilities.

So now we know that the Scottish title race was swung by two egregious refereeing errors in the last three games. My only surprise is that that SFA have owned up to it. I expected them to retreat behind a shield of denial. It’s a travesty nevertheless.

Oxford toilet graffiti has its own unique preoccupations.

In surveys I’ve seen before, immigration comes much lower down when respondents are asked what’s the biggest issue facing them. The reason they say it’s the biggest issues facing the country is because they see politicians and the media talk about little else. Stop feeding this.

Not surprising considering Labour has spent two years copying Farage in talking about immigration using the language of crisis and threat. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I can agree that “rejoin” is a futile argument to have right now, but it’s odd to complain of increased EU protectionism (without evidence) while claiming that the ability to pursue “a more ruthless industrial policy” is a Brexit benefit, since the latter obviously involves more protectionism.

I keep reading that this platform is irrelevant and in decline. The Kremlin clearly doesn’t agree if it thinks Bluesky is worth hacking on this scale.

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap.

Hearts not letting it drop, and rightly so. Other clubs need to support. This is a long overdue opportunity to address the behaviour of the Old Firm clubs and their toxic impact on Scottish football. It won’t come again quickly if it’s missed.

Just did an enjoyable spot on the Matt Chorley show on 5 Live about political resignations in which I said that Wes Streeting hadn’t really set out a convincing rationale for quitting. It just seemed curiously flat.

Is there any group in society more annoying and judgmental than the public health Taliban? Anyone who wants to stop me drinking will have to take that Mojito from my cold, dead hand.

I wonder if the Opposition will go easy on Starmer today at PMQs? Given that electing Andy Burnham is the shortest route to getting rid of Starmer and the most obvious hope of a Labour recovery, it might not make tactical sense to put the boot in too heavily.

Foolish, indefensible and immoral. The financial effect will be small, but the political effect will be extremely damaging. It will encourage Putin to believe that Western resolve is cracking. I hope a u-turn is forced before the end of the day.

Don’t like Arsenal, but I’m glad they won the league. They’re an actual football club, not the sportswashing division of a corrupt petrostate.

I see old Bagpuss is sticking with such Galacticos as Grant Hanley and Che Adams for the World Cup. This is one best approached with the lowest of expectations. Anything above dismal failure will be a bonus.

I can understand this. Place no trust in saviours, as the song says. But Starmer has turned out to be uniquely unprincipled, even by the normal standards of politics. We’ve seen enough of Andy Burnham with executive power to know that he’s different. Not perfect, but someone with sound instincts.

Among this things, Trump seems to have vaporised Ireland in this picture.

Dogs are the best. They can make you smile when you need it most. 🙌❤️

It’s deplorable that we haven’t heard a single word of regret or apology from Celtic following the pitch invasion and abuse of Hearts players that ended yesterday’s game. They couldn’t care less. Celtic have shown the world the ugly reality of who they are over the last week.

I’m pretty much where I would expect to be on findmypolitics.com and particularly reassured by my “where in the world” result, which puts me in Sweden and a long way from Russia. I’m more left wing than 83% of respondents, but then this is an American test.

A common argument, but one I find baffling. I’ve been to a fair few matches in the VAR era, and people definitely celebrate goals. If there’s a check and it’s cleared, they celebrate twice.

I wish I could say that I’m boycotting Eurovision, but I never watch it because it’s shite. I just don’t get this idea that dreadful music is somehow cool and funny. I find it offensive and irritating.

The fact that Hearts players were attacked and had to be evacuated under police escort should lead to Celtic being banned from hosting their final game at home for a decade. Hearts should also ban Celtic fans from Tynecastle indefinitely. Disgraceful club. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/footba...

Third pitch invasion by Celtic fans this year already. The authorities did sod all about it the first two times, so obviously it keeps happening. No club is more pampered, yet no club wallows more in false grievance and victimhood.

As sickened and cheated as I feel about the outcome of the league race in Scotland, it doesn’t feel like 86 again. It feels like the beginning of something, not the end. Hearts can use the new interest and support it has generated, along with Tony Bloom’s involvement, to build something stronger. 🙌🇱🇻

What an insanely stupid thing to brief. Burnham’s biggest danger is appearing to take the voters of Makerfield for granted. If he treats them like a means towards his own end, they will reject him.

The good, the bad and the ugly of the Scottish Premiership season 25-26. Whether Hearts emerge as champions tomorrow or not, I have never been prouder of my club. 🙌🇱🇻❤️

Only 752 Hearts fans allowed into 60,000 seater Celtic Park tomorrow for the title decider. Home advantage is usually given to the team on top at the split (this year, Hearts) but for some reason has been given to Celtic instead. In case anyone still thinks it’s a level playing field in Scotland.

Reform UK has no appeal independent of Farage and there’s a hard ceiling on support for both at below 30%. Starmer’s undoing has been his failure to understand that. Instead of mobilising the 64% who despise Farage, he tried and failed to compete for the votes of the 27% who like him.

I imagine Martin O’Neill will be absolutely livid this morning.
