They're calling Walker-Peters off, Wan-Bissaka on the most like-for-like substitution of all time

The first time around he'd say stupid shit like this and there was a certain dark comedy to it all, sadly he got even dumber and the situations got ever less amusing

No offence to Brentford but this thing where 70% of their attacks are one bloke flinging the ball like a trebuchet makes for a tough watch

I just looked at Polymarket and for claiming they don’t host assassination markets boy oh boy do a lot of these look like assassination markets:

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: “I'm a Labour Party historian, here’s what I think”

Interesting point Connor, but what if I hate all of these ideas, have you considered that

It's a big flaw of the presidential system, it turns out, that it simply cannot cope with a situation where one if the two parties nominates a guy who is manifestly unfit for office, but 35-40% of the electorate fall madly in love with him.

didn't not do a double take at that illustration, let me tell you

It’s fairly clear that they see this as a war against Islam and Muslims (hence the Gorton and Denton comment). Right wing politics in the UK is almost entirely driven by anti Muslim hatred and it’s clear their support of this war comes from that

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Good how little juice any of the rest of these freaks have. Hegseth with the big gag, long pause, smattering of nervous chuckles.

here you go

I can't be arsed to look but - given he works/worked at a London university - there has to be photographic evidence of Glasman wearing a lanyard out there somewhere. Maybe he's shaking his head sadly in all the photos, who knows

Not sure Tottenham have the mindset to get out of the mess they're in at this point

I want Clacton to look like this

Kinda day where even an untended border throws up a beautiful surprise . . . we are so back baby

Sooo many egs of "Labour sources" saying things this last year. Only a marginal factor in why everyone hates them, but v odd behaviour that is worth remembering!

I see what they've done here, they've put a fake decoy answer named 'James Cartlidge' in so you can see the baseline approval their members would give to anyone.

normally don’t enjoy having games on my phone as it distracts me from my vital responsibility to churn out crap posts but am very happy to discover someone put this on the app store

I'm the guy who makes the definitive annual global ranking for political strategists and I can confirm Starmer's claim here. (We don't bother announcing the winner at this point, because Paul Ovenden's triumph can just be presumed)

Daily thread of Iranian music I like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEjt...

when I’m a Chinese intelligence officer and I get sent to Britain so now I have to do a six week background course in advanced transphobia before I can go

I love this invention and how you can never cheer a goal, it's brilliant

The only single pots of yoghurt at Tesco Express are 'caramelised biscuit' flavour. Who is buying this? Surely only a pervert or an American would eat this for breakfast.

Something admirable in sticking with players who are out of form and confidence? Sadly very little chance of actually scoring a goal with this side I feel

The department has a culture of proud callousness, so obviously it's great that it's the base of the new head of the civil service.

If you ever find yourself discussing 'prediction markets' with Americans, you'll find they usually defend them as being aggregations of non-public "information" which therefore help people make accurate predictions. So what non-public "information" are we to believe is being aggregated here?

Dog-walker is an honourable profession so it's sad to see someone who answered the noble calling to care for our canine chums be stuck on a plane with these other Golgrafinchan B-ark types. bsky.app/profile/drja...

Listening to this for the first time in 16 years, and what an absolute banger of experimental/slightly atonal/homemade instrument quality it was: grannyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/free-p...

Liverpool Football Club . . . welcome

I'd never force people to put the sound on for any reason, but trust me when I say you're gonna want to put the sound on for this. He is fucking ridiculous

This illustrates exactly why we shouldn’t be adjusting policy based on these forecasts. They aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.

Most see a collapse; I see a tuition fee. I moved my life savings into Football Index to disrupt the transfer market. 📈 Asset: Elite player futures Result: Total liquidation ROI: 1000% increase in mental grit I didn't lose; I "de-risked" my comfort zone. 🚀 #Hustle

When you've got to tour a migrant camp at 11 but clock in for your volunteer shift on the Death Star at 12.

A lot of people laughing about this, but I was talking to a Reform-curious Labour voter in her 60s from Bolton recently and this is verbatim what she said as well (especially the bit with the grave accent that i can't do on my keyboard):

Paint it on the inside of my eyelids to be honest

Has this ever even happened before? Total humiliation for the banner-flyers, utterly in the mud

Lobstereo finally exposed

Check out this Trump quote from last year that Politico dug up www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

How do you end up clowning so badly you make Luna look right? Obviously something can be Bad without being an invasion.

"Help is on the way", Donald Trump Feb 2026

Labour has always had an attraction to authoritarians (eg Blunkett, Clarke) who see hang 'em and flog 'em politics as the authentic preference of the working classes. That these people have now convinced themselves their 'toughness' is a necessary bulwark against Reform only adds to their conviction

...wait, what????

She’s learnt her lesson about wanting hotels full of foreigners and immigrants being burnt down. See. Prison does work

What do you think the media reaction would be if an Iranian missile killed 148 schoolgirls in Tel Aviv.

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to bomb this elementary school full of kids because he thinks it makes him look cool. also his scheming viziers will be betting money on it for fun. good luck soldier

Watching MOTD highlights of NUFC-Everton, I see that Newcastle, who had ditched illegal betting partner FUN88 at beginning of season, have now teamed up with 8Xbet (also partner of Sunderland, Bournemouth, Villa, Forest...), an even worse operator, linked to cyber slavery compound in Cambodia.
