Another unedifying spectacle. These felchers must know that even long after Trump is gone, they will never retain their dignity.

This made me laugh...a LOT 🤣🤣🤣 Bravo David for posting👏👏👏👏👏👏

A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

Vote Count Binface and save the UK taxpayer £380k!

Has any other politician ever called a by-election on an explicitly anti-transparency, pro-sleaze ticket before?

This…

This is the best fireworks display on planet Earth. Astronaut Sophie Adenot filmed a stunning timelapse video of an aurora from the International Space Station earlier this week.

Extreme wealth accumulation is a threat to democracy (@gabrielzucman.bsky.social)

No you're not staying up to watch football, you're going to bed

This commentary tho. It's ridiculous

Govt. is cancelling long awaited infrastructure projects to divert money to defence. But not the £43bn white elephant on the Suffolk coast, Sizewell C.

The speech, the creation of No. 10 north - you sense Burnham really likes his house #r4today

Spirit from Wu against 7th seed Djokovic tonight at #wimbledon - some sparkling shots #bbc

The instinctive reaction right now is lazy, sleep-walking cynicism, or sullen don't-give-me-hope despair. But the truth is: someone with very good communication skills, the right diagnosis and a reforming zeal is about to become prime minister. That seems pretty fucking encouraging to me.

Glorious

We have literally just lost a prime minister partly over our inability to find money for wars.

Octopus Agile tariff will be paying me today to use electricity. I know, I can scarce believe it myself!

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

Self awareness? Sure I've _heard_ of it.

Nigel Farage questioned Andy Burnham’s mandate so Sally Nugent used his logic against his own MPs and it was just magnificent

Brazil really is huge! www.maptap.gg June 22 100🎯 91👑 98🎯 88🎉 88🎉 Final score: 915

Why does my cat look like she's just heard terrible news about her investment portfolio

If we’re doing manufacturing discourse: UK manufacturing delivers about 10% of GDP but drives 42% of exports and nearly half of business R&D, pays around £40k a year (above average), and supports 2.3m jobs - with 50k vacancies

Time to sell the Roku

San Francisco Mayor "We want to ensure there is a sustainable future for our gold rush industry" #r4today

Conservative MP Andrew Bowie on #r4today "We want to ensure there is a sustainable future for our oil and gas industry" How are you going to do that with a finite resource Andrew?

The entire Uruguay World Cup team got pulled up on the side of the road and investigated by immigration. Sniffer dogs, luggage ripped open. Trump America is a global embarrassment.

Banning children from social media?

🛑 The govt. is clinging to X out of habit and a fear of losing reach, but reach without authority is worse than useless; it is actively destructive. If they leave, the media would juxtapose the unverified chaos of X against authoritative govt. channels, which would highlight X's illegitimacy.

The UK government must leave X. Researchers have found that Elon Musk's role was "instrumental" in the Belfast riots www.lemonde.fr/en/internati... He amplified violent narratives on his platform. But some argue the govt. should stay🧵👇

Seriously, if you’re still on X, you’re part of the problem.

Very good piece here by the former head of the National Cyber Security Centre

"A trillionaire is not a sign of a healthy economy"

Finally terminating the X account I have barely used for months. Elon Musk’s latest attempts to divide and destroy the country I love were the final straw. Only sorry that my attempts to persuade Parliament and its committees to leave X, or at least to post here too, have not so far succeeded.

Still time for another couple of red cards #worldcup

Overall the approach to care fell "far short of what could be considered safe or appropriate" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The BBC has a Cost of Living correspondent? 🤨 #r4today

This is no more about the details of immigration policy than the progroms my great great grandparents fled were about Jews committing crimes. It's straightforward racist violence and it needs the strongest possible response.

The govt. haven't yet worked out that when it comes to X, controlled by a man who want to see the entire UK on fire, the house always wins. What will it take? Sexualised images of innocent women and girls wasn't enough.

The government needs to leave X. EVERYONE needs to leave X.

These protesters are mindless criminals and I feel nothing but pure cold rage towards them and the broken human tragedy that is Elon Musk

Migrant homes and businesses being set alight by “protestors” in Belfast tonight. Musk has helped start another pogrom in the U.K. Yet still our Gvt won’t leave X.

And the government are still posting on X. I just can't even

It’s impossible to take this government seriously over online harm whilst it remains on X.

Nadhim Zahawi describes Nowak as someone "who lost his life because of incompetence". Greg Dyke points out that nobody is saying the mistake by police caused the death. Phillips intervenes with "nobody knows". A lack of basic research on a very sensitive topic. Paragraph 16 of sentencing remarks:

I do see Reform's problem. Their candidates have to sound as rapidly right wing as possible to appeal to their voters, but if they go on national TV they've got to sound halfway sane. One has to sympathise... no, no, one doesn't. At all. Ever.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Maitlis running rings around Nick Adams on @thenewsagents.co.uk today with some absolute zingers, and richly deserved.

Ossoff turning in another solid performance

At a rough estimate, that means there are now two British people on the planet. Neither live in the U.K.
