Look on the bright side, England, it's only 3.5 prime ministers until the next world cup!

Argentina 🇦🇷, amazingly, has scored the majority of its goals after the 80th minute in this World Cup (Stoppage time goals plotted at 90' for simplicity)

Feeling sorry for the iPlayer neighbours who are 20 secs behind and still think we're winning.

You'd have thought that the sources of explosive diarrhoea would be quite easy to identify

... I mean ... yeah?

A very emotional PMQs. History will remember Keir Starmer much more kindly than the present; he was unfairly vilified with no justification. A decent man who did a lot of good overall for the country. Kemi Badenoch got the tone spot on too; a bit of humour with mischief but also kind words too

Nigel Farage has just put out a statement on X saying: "I will make a statement on my future in public life at 2pm."

As is traditional, eldest daughter has painted me a picture of Fernando for my birthday

In a past life, I was an unremarkable person who died after falling into a ditch, says no one ever.

Me, a radical idealist: I shall no longer be posting on X! Me, also a radical idealist: But you can find me on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn!

'how we bought our first house at 24'

Just had the most plausible phishing call ever. Really quite impressive. Came with a back-up text which appeared to come from my bank. Although they fell down when they started to explain to me that a Trojan had crawled out of the Play Store into my bank account or something.

This sounds like one of those "benefits for me" that is actually a benefit for you, HP.

1/ The Russian authorities are trying to address the current fuel crisis by persuading the population, improbably, that having a full tank of gas is dangerous. Russian bloggers are gleefully trashing what they see as a stunningly inept 'anti-crisis' campaign. ⬇️

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...
