Who could be discouraged at this point, as James Dean Bradfield meets Phil Mitchell, to determine the future military security of Europe…?

Utd taking the spirit of giving to heart this Christmas, by actually BEING the gift that keeps on giving. Maybe they realise only God can help them. Perhaps he’ll let them put his name on a shirt and sell it in China. [angel chorus sounds] www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The genius of Farage is to have targeted the precise demographic that won’t care that he scams them both politically and financially. It’s like the Trump base who just don’t care that he’s Putin’s POTUS of choice. Cult. Cult. Cult. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Scott Beasant. Why not entrust the world’s largest economy to a man who can neither comb his own hair, nor mobilise his own face…?

Dismal. Ailing PM whose only hard credentials are as a Human Rights lawyer, bends even further to the right. Because that’s been playing out so well for him… If you can’t make the argument for what you know is right, why are you in this position? Execrable filth. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

For shame… www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Imagining this kind of thing runs the risk of taking England football back to the fist-pumping lion-heart mythology that had us fielding Adams/Terry, while other nations understood technical merits counted. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Lol. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

More ‘accusations’ of what people are knowingly doing. It’s just not the right word. Albanian PM accuses Mahmood of 'ethnic stereotyping' www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is nuts. This is Farage’s appeal. He is a racist. Am I missing something…? www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Farage was never going to let Shabana Mahmood steal his chunder… www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Thought the DM had found Jesus. Silly me…

It’s almost as if he deliberately said that stupid shit to appeal to people who think it already. (This is the most tragic focus-grouped-people-hated-me-even-more-when-I-was-just-a-property-crime-facilitator idiocy, that there is.) I have to meet Jenrick simps. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In the Twat-topia of 2025, this is what a leadership bid looks like… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour’s answer to Priti Patel Patelling uglyly. Who’s going to be the Braverman-a-like…? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Jeremy Doku got baptised the other day, because when that happens, ‘your old nature, your old sinful nature, dies and you start living with God.’ [sighs] [watches space]

The NYT ahead of the curve, here…

Another rent-a-gob. But to whom is Nick Clegg plausible…? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Just another day in countries not governed for the people who live in them…

It’s official. We’re now as dumb as the Yanks. www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Norrie giving me hope following my osteoarthritic elbow diagnosis. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

Another ‘deary me…’ moment at hand, if you please, Chaz…. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Don’s appreciation of Vlad knew no bounds…

We are all migrants, now… www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/robe...

Lammy in the news this week, breathing a sigh, that he’s confident we’re ‘not complicit.’ We are. Starmer talking loudly about airdrops to a country he won’t say exists… The shame is off the scale. If I can feel it, then I expect those who carry the blame for this to do the same.

What is it with the BBC & their woefull lack of judgement when hiring presenters? Who would have thought that both Wallace & Torode were sleazy old gits? www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... They’ll be telling us John Inverdale’s a wrong-un, next… & what exactly does Andrew Castle have on the BBC…?

Does the BBC not appreciate that there is literally zero appetite for the involvement of Andrew Castle in anything?

Self-defence really is a chimera, isn’t it…? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

“This would never have happened if I’d been President…” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

BadEnoch gets a pass, as she’s just Leader of The Opp., but are we missing the maybe that she’s actually continuing the Cameron>May>Johnson>Truss>Sunak tail-spin…? Few would have thought she had it in her. (And, yes, she could well soon be holding Jenrick’s beer…) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How is it with me that, while I’m coming to really hate this Labour government, I can still understand that Reform would be a whole lot worse…? www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...

Bleak. Why can Labour not learn? Chasing after the most disgusting votes in the country, in the week those self same votes demonstrated they’re going to vote Reform whatever, isn’t just gross, it’s idiotic in the language of pure electoral numbers. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Two words: Jai Opetaia. View on Boxing Showtimes: Is Jake Paul one win away from title bout? boxingshowtimes.com/posts/9eba22...

…and everyone in their right mind, or with the ability to spell ‘Commonwealth Fund’ in Google, knows this.

Not really a good look, is it…? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just WTF…?

Let’s spare a thought for the lackie of a nasty, fascist fifth-columnist.🕊️ No Brexit shill should be subjected to a continuing, arduous, and deleterious ordeal, solely as a result of the militant politics of others. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Victoria Spartz has always been the Russian plant’s Russian plant. Even Trump himself has been known to hold her vodka on occasion.

Carlo Ancelotti has always been a man in search of a monocle to spill, ‘Ding-Dong!’ stylee. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Heinous political figure backed by execrable supporters. No doubt the ‘own research’ folk, who’d renounce their own tax rebate if someone told them it was ‘politically motivated,’ will see the latest fascist crime conviction as yet more strangled democracy. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

DJT HATES this realistic picture of himself. You know what to do: start with running it through AI , using the 4 recordings of him saying Elon rigged the tabulation machines.

…which is weird, because that’s exactly what she needs to do. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
