A genuinely interesting question: why are younger voters in countries like Germany and France shifting to the right while in the UK the right is the preserve of old men? Why is Reform, almost uniquely among European far-right parties, unable to appeal to young people?

Forest and West Ham fans right now

Russia is using cat memes to set the stage for invading Northeast Estonia. It now seems possible America might allow it to happen. Somebody should ask Witkoff about it on camera, I want to see his face when he responds.

If Claude researches like I did as a PhD student, then there's a very good chance it'll just decide to spend the day playing Championship Manager

How would this be any safer?

This is very funny. Scoring five from an xG of 0.87?

Filth. And not flukey, unlike a certain Dutchman

It's really difficult to fathom how so many people with such depth of knowledge of athletics could get this so wrong. The launch event in Jamaica was a case study of how to turn a concept into an uninvestible project www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

This is disgraceful from the institution

This debacle in Iran has demonstrated one thing: the US can't prosecute an overseas war without NATO. You have to think this will embolden China

Up until yesterday, this is what Farage and Badenoch wanted to drag Britain into

With his side feasting on Spurs, an Atlético Madrid supporter is ready to feast at halftime 🤤

It's crap to concede a 95th minute penalty, but I've just watched #nufc outplay Barcelona pretty comprehensively. That's something

Ah, if Yamal gets a yellow he misses the next leg. He has plot armour tonight

This ref isn't going to book any Barca players let alone the golden boy #nufc

More should be made of the fact that the far-right are generally oddballs. Goodwin's campaign in Gorton and Denton was really weird (driving round and empty industrial estate bellowing from a loud-hailer?). These are people you cross the street to avoid

Putin can't believe his luck with this guy. He's spent decades having to think of plans within schemes to deal with western leaders and then Trump gives him America's most gullible man as a go-between

Badenoch now on the BBC trying to simultaneously argue that the UK should and should not be bombing Iran. She's caught between needing to attack Starmer and display unwavering loyalty to Trump

I watched Robocop as a kid because it was a cool action movie and had the gruesome toxic waste scene. Watching it as an adult, it's a brutal satire of law enforcement that's only getting more relevant with firms like Palantir getting involved

It does suggest that it was probably right not to ratify his 56:42 from Barcelona last year. The guy is amazing though, he should win London next month

It's an odd moment in British politics where we have a group of left-ish wing parties that are looking out for the national interest and a group of right-wing parties that are desperate to serve the US/MAGA interest

"The remains"? Damn

Lol, this moron is going to spend $1bn inventing something that Nintendo already offers as part of its Nintendo online subscription

Sunlight is the best disinfectant

It says a lot about where we're at that I read this and wasn't sure who the US was providing intelligence to

This seems properly game changing

MAGA has no core beliefs or ideology. It's a personality cult. That's it. It's also why it won't survive a Trump succession

Things I didn't need to know and never thought I would: Santiago Munoz (GOAL! films, not the kid we signed) has a full on career that includes 3 Madrid spells, a return to Newcastle, Ballon d'Or, change of nationality inc. World Cup win and a tragic death. Wow. (Screens start post #NUFC)

Yeah, I'm not sure looking down on people who work in an office is the best idea, given how many people work in offices. It also looks pretty snobby, like they are answering at people who go out to work rather than write op-eds and policy documents

Catching up on MOTD and I can't see how Haaland wasn't booked for diving in the box but Ramsey was, and was sent off. Is a dive an automatic yellow or not? #nufc

A thing of beauty

I'm not sure what it says when Newcastle's two best performances of the season were when they were down to 10 men (against Liverpool and then tonight). Anyway, the £10m spent on Osula was worth it for that goal alone #nufc

This has got Man Utd 99th minute winner written all over it #nufc

This is exactly right. He's took a complete guess and sent off a player. They really need to allow VAR for second yellow cards #nufc

Time to repost this. I know he's struggling domestically, but if that's the case, you might as well stand by your principles

It's very weird, but unsurprising, that the most nationalist and "patriotic" parts of the political and media elite in the UK would be perfectly happy with the country becoming a fiefdom of the US

Very poor byline photo here. He looks like he's been snapped leaving court or a brothel

America has always been a place where cults flourish (my theory is that there's too much open space between places), I just never expected one to capture the government

This is worth 10 minutes of your time. Even if you disagree with the evaluation of where AI for social science is right now, it identifies challenges that seem inevitable to me

I say this fully aware that Boris Johnson was PM a few years ago, but is Badenoch the least serious leader any mainstream party has ever had?

I don't think it's a good strategy for Reform to be demonising people not in work, given their voter base

The chip industry needed McKinsey to tell them that Taiwan is existential for them Ayfkm

If you foul an opponent and then handle the ball in the penalty area in the same action, it should be two penalties

Once again

Just realised that the only team in the league currently in worse form than #nufc is Spurs. That's depressing

Father Ted: A Christmassy Ted (1996)

Same messaging as Reform and the Tories. What's the point of Labour anymore?

In hindsight, we should have known that Hannah Spencer was the perfect candidate for this seat
