Very good referring by Ismail Elfath - referring Argentina is a Men’s World Cup Semi Final is a very tricky sack of ferrets, as we say in Yorkshire #FIFA #WorldCup #EngArg #England

Ugh

“There is a faint mineral aftertaste to this ‘fine’ that lingers for a lifetime.” - brilliantly well observed @mcsweeneys.net piece on what we mean when we say “it was fine”.

The memes surrounding Binface V Farage are brilliant, share your favourites below, preferably with links to original creators, and if we get enough, we will collate and publish..... Via Penny Nite on Facebook.

Few conditions are as feared as dementia. Many worry that the insidious disease is becoming far more common. The outlook may be brighter than you think

Nigel Farage is your stereotypical self-entitled public schoolboy who does dodgy deals with his mates and then whines how unfair it is when he is subject to the same rules as you and I #CountBinface #Clacton

V amused at the suggestion that a USA Men’s World Cup win would now be need to be asterisked, like a suspected doping Tour de France or Olympic win #FIFA #WorldCup #USA

So rules are optional? He was unlucky, but why this exception? #FIFA #mensWorldCup #USA #Integrity?

Andy Burnham could become PM (if unopposed) two days before England men could win the World Cup. That would give him a massive feel-good boost across England

The incredible record breaking cyclist, Beryl Burton has a brown plaque unveiled by Harrogate Civic Society outside her former home on Mount Parade, Harrogate, N. Yorks. She won more than 90 domestic championships & 72 national individual time trial titles. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Does anyone know if Andy Burnham likes cats?

📢 Our 2026 #BrokenPlate report shows the poorest families with children would need to spend 𝟴𝟱% of their income to afford the government-recommended healthy diet. This should act as a wake-up call for policymakers to ensure everyone can access good food. foodfoundation.org.uk/publication/...

No riots about David Sullivan, or most other white male (alleged) sexual predators - so this is nothing to do with racism?

I think this is a “yes”

This is shitty behaviour by USA government, who should be able to mange security concerns. I hope (and doubt) that FIFA will complain #FIFA #WorldCup www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As someone who watches football on TV, played at school and was born in England, I feel fully qualified to give expert criticism of Tuchel’s England squad selection.

This is so wrong. Yes, I don’t think it was a penalty, but something is wrong with our society when referees need police protection (not that this is the first time) www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Lots of impactful legislation in the Kings Speech, but no-one seems to care when there’s infighting to watch/stir up (if you’re a Labour MP) #UKgonecrazy

I love Eurovision, but I'm not watching this year. Eurovision is Europe having a fun night out – passionate, loud, diverse, quirky, self-important, sometimes annoying, mostly inclusive, full of history and tradition, and a good party. Like Russia, Israel does not share these values at this time.

The ‘unfathomable’ fall of Labour’s Greater Manchester manchestermill.co.uk/the-unfathom... Very good in depth article about the Labour disaster in Manchester and why both Reform and The Greens did so well.

Reform candidate who said 'Nigerians should be melted down to fill in pot holes' wins seat - Metro apple.news/At97dYHIIQMW...

Very dignified and thoughtful concession speech by Eluned Morgan in Wales

I can’t believe how ill-informed the BBC local election coverage. The lead presenters are jabbering simplistic cliches and mostly ignoring the experts and data 🙁

As David Attenborough marks his 100th birthday, his friend Chris Packham celebrates the remarkable legacy of an unparalleled broadcaster.

I love Banksy. The plinth and location among old Imperial statues matter as much as the figure blinded by his patriotism. It’s art that starts conversations

Labour MPs prefer infighting to broadcasting some major legislation, like abolishing hereditary peers, a generational change in Employment Law, Renters Act, etc.

Shock vote: both York’s Labour MPs vote Labour

Good luck York! #YCFC

To me the story is that an elite sports organisation like Spurs didn’t already have a sports psychologist on their books, or are football clubs still catching up with other sports?

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

Why do almost all UK politicians act as if we have a significant navy? Is it because the majority of UK citizens still don’t accept the reality of our mid-ranking place in the world?

Yaaaaaay!!! #YorkCityFC

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Where does the chicken in your sandwiches, pies and takeaways come from? Nearly one third of the chicken we eat is imported, mostly from countries without our animal welfare laws. It undermines UK farmers & most people would be horrified if they saw the conditions. www.thetimes.com/article/a2ee...

The younger Baroness Hale would be astonished, absolutely flabbergasted, at the career that she has managed to have.

6:49am: sudden spike in oil futures trading. no news. no announcement. nothing public. 7:05am: trump announces a pause on iran strikes. markets move. someone knew. 16 minutes early. $580 million in contracts. the corruption is staggering.

Rhetorical question?

I'm backing @peatfree.bsky.social's campaign for a peat free future . Last October the UK Govt committed to ending the sale of peat– but we need action . Sign the petition calling for legislation in 2026 to bring peat sales to an end at long last . actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

Reform’s Richard Tice avoided nearly £600,000 in tax - So much for Reform being anti-establishment www.thetimes.com/article/6f55...
